news bites:

2012-01-25T10:37:00.005-05:00

Roy Orbitron unknown-length is all set to start recording with Dan Jefferson on drums (i'd link to his bandcamp but he drunkenly deleted it) and myself on other things. big project, lots of inspiration, way less slow than it's been and now with some good men behind me. if you want to add some tracks fucking call me. or e-mail me. or whatever.

Alien Father's "World of Treble" EP has been sent for mastering and pressing after more than a year of being unfinished and unreleased. it was recorded live in studio in new york with Joe Plourde engineering the sessions. mixed by me, mastering by a guy named Adam. next time i say i'll work on something i won't get a sociopathic lying whore pregnant... sorry about the wait. it'll be pressed on 7" vinyl so go un-dust your needles.

i got to see Alec (ShitSleeper, Every Bunny Welcome, Canaries, Pidgeons, etc.) this past weekend; he was home on the east coast back from living in LA for the past 9 months or so. he played some songs and, as usual, they're fucking sweet. hoping to hear a recording soon...

Berks County Aesthetes rules, get on that.

this is my favorite song of 2011.

both Snoozer and Rasputin's Secret Police have full-lengths coming out and i'll be listening to both simultaneously while busting all the nuts. Brandon from RSP's old girlfriend got spiteful (as bitches do) and decided to take down RSP and Brandon Can't Dance bandcamp pages i made for them following the break-up. RSP's is still down but BCD's is being restored and features the new Volume 7.

my son is a Phillies fan.

I remember the good ol' days. and even yesterday was one of them and, my, has it been a long and strange road. It never really started and it never really ends. Comfortable being More Lost than ever, and always looking for more, always getting rid of as much as possible.

I miss the basements and i miss being underground.

Love and miss you all

Here's an example:

Peopling is noise. Lo-fi and dirty, this one man band alters the efficacy of your glands.

This isn’t some bullshit infused improvised drone jam band.

Hypnotic: yes. Calculated: probably, more or less. Worth listening to: definitely.

rasputin's secret police are working on a new one they're recording themselves, snoozer just recorded 11 songs in a day or two at dan & james' "the sex dungeon" in philly and this is my new favorite band from boston... a drum/guitar duo that just went on two month-long tours back to back (the first with ugh god, second with kitchen's floor). their album, "fucking despair" (available on 12"!) was recorded at the sex dungeon too... (and speaking of ugh, if you haven't listened to "a pony on top of a mountain" yet get on it. don't start with track 5 but keep it in mind...)

saw the three up there last night in a diner/bar in south philly (teri's... at least there's foot traffic?) & all but one of the ugh dudes were there. it was good as fuck, wish ya were there. this stuff's just the jizz of life... or anyway... well... at least makes it normaler. bearable-er. makes you want to play loud music again.

philly's been growing on me a little more every year since that one show at the steakhaus when i was what... 17? new york can and will always be welcome to suck my balls and the decent people in new jersey are either too north, too east, or just unable to find shit worth starting. there's an itch but it's all lacking a good heavy scratch. i guess we go to philly for that.

or new brunswick, but the crowd there... the "ask a punk" basement show crowd... well they're more about hype over an all-chick band that took way too long to set up and didn't even understand the concept of tuning than realizing that they suck. it's just hard to enjoy when every time you're standing in the back yard the dude next to you in the studded jean jacket with the colt 45 is flirting with the other dude with the puffy sideburns with the OE and they're bonding over how much of a "theoretical physics dude" the one is and the phrase "no homo" is thrown around with the utmost sincerity.

or, you know, the tone-deaf plump girl from rutgers who wandered around back, ripped her shirt a little bit getting caught on something as she stumbled up, and is obviously trying to get fucked. that's the extent of the foot traffic.

that's not saying i don't have faith in jersey but jesus if it isn't hard to find good honest to dirt music here. brick mower still kicks ass. they're worth the the trip.

the tamur show in piscataway couldn't have gone any better except for some technical difficulties from Trololo. it was at a metal-working foundry with parking lots on two sides and a field of solar panels across the street. 8 bands played and they all played really well. good crowd, good people, good music. here's hoping that spot isn't a one-off.

here's a show oct 5th in south philly. here's a show oct 14th somewhere else in PA. + alien father, huge pupils, snoozer and RSP are playing at the el bar on the 15th. meet me out there... one of three? i'll buy you a beer.

i keep putting up shit here. it gets better, it gets worse, working them all out still and playing guitar and singing every day. it helps.

be well. send music.

love,

Conor

don't you hate when you go to a show, everything's just going fucking fantastically and Snoozer's loud as fuck and kicking your ass -- this time with a bassist -- and then FINALLY fucking Rasputin's Secret Police, THE FUCKING 'SPUTIN, start up with fucking Asparagus, raping your ear pussies, BUT THEN a little fucking cop starts screaming from the back of the basement "FUCK THIS AND FUCK THAT AND FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING PIECES OF SHIT FUCKERS FUCKING FUCK FUCK" telling you "I'M GETTIN' FUCKIN' HOT DOWN HERE AND Y'ALL WON'T LIKE ME WHEN I'M FUCKIN' STEAMED, LAST MOTHERFUCKER UP THE FUCKIN' STAIRS GETTIN' LOCKED THE FUCK UP SO MOVE" and so you're slowly filing upstairs, totally not intimidated by the little piggy but terribly bummed out... the bands are coming upstairs too but they're annoyed that they'll have to kill time around the corner waiting for the 20 fucking cops filling the house to clear out so they can lug their used and unused hundreds of pounds of equipment up the fucking stairs and into a car and back home.

then you wind up at a bar with some magic the gathering pro champions from out of town, the room half as crowded as the rock and roll show but feels 10x as crowded and you get raped by 10 guys with beards and plaid and there's some shitty guy with a shitty digital turntable playing shitty music and all the white kids are trying to dance without feeling a fucking thing except their sweaty balls and the potential of some girl with high waisted mom-jeans and a bicycle outside, chick pea breath and all.

that shit sucks.

the show on the 17th at Rutgers U's Sculpture facility (new bruns, NJ) --- see post below --- is moving along nicely and as soon as all the bands are on board i'm sure Sydney will come up with some sick flyer that you can print out and give to other people to throw away for you because they won't even know what they're missing.

facebook event too. because we know how much y'all love facebook.

Note #1

2011-02-17T18:06:00.001-05:00

A note on amphetamines and cancer
A.L. Owens

Long periods of constant consciousness; messy webs of strung-together mornings and strung-out ideas become forgotten conclusions lying fully clothed on a sheet-less mattress; and reaching ugly dopamine plateaus on overly sunny afternoons in aimless traffic, getting nowhere, burning tobacco, cursing endless lanes of elderly shoppers en route to Peer 1 Imports; damning the life-sucking parade of tank-sized SUV’s, their respective small-penised pilots sitting calm and confident, encased in what seems like several feet of military grade armor , I’m squirming and squinting, searching for the lost horizon, a pretty tree, any sign that life is not hellishly futile… but then giving up my search when I notice “Dora The Explorer” on a TV in the back of a nearby minivan. But frustratingly I can’t hear it, so I focus on the radio. Get the equalizer absolutely perfect. Recede into the back of the psyche and try to prevent full-on panic.

These long periods of consciousness are, time and time again, worth their respective weight in gold -- often to the point of confusion and despair -- and can abruptly coalesce in the faint smell of my own under-washed underarms seeping outward from skin to thermal shirt to collared flannel, leaving the stale scent of Old Spice in the armpits of my brown leather jacket, the pockets of which are full of crumpled notes to a future version of myself who never shows up looking ready to work, always dark circles under his bloodshot eyes, shoes untied and torn, unable to see his once-clear Goal through now dirty glass frames and sweaty corneas. Here, thoughts race in circles and curly-Q’s, and I’m running out of clothing; and as the sun appears, I’m rashly cutting pants far too short and sleeves too crooked, vainly longing for the momentary perfection of a single unattainable trouser-length or shirt-style, head lost amidst the focus of an indestructible amphetamine high, and only after much rest, do I come to the realization that these long, dream-like experiences are just as unreal as the intense fourteen hours of an acid trip, and just as irrational as the most panicked moment of spasm in any of the late-night sugar rushes I endure. And yet amphetamines, harsh as they may be, always seem more useful, if not much more so, than their fellow outlawed substances, especially in distant retrospect, after the brain’s necessary chemicals have returned to comfortable homeostasis, and clear thought can once again emerge from the fog; to me these sugary government-issued pills are made all the more beautiful by their fleeting nature. It is also worth noting the strange manner by which these medications are often obtained; from hopeless suburban heroin addicts, who will have nothing to do with the anxiety-crammed high of speed, to innocent high school freshman, who live completely ignorant of the true nature of the pills they are prescribed.

Dense as rock or light as air, you can’t climb a chemical mountain without, at some point, falling, fast or slow, hard or soft, in black-and-white or Imax stereo surround-sound, into a catatonic depression of indeterminate length, dreamless sleep and wakeless life. The roof of the mouth peels. You’ve lost the ability to get passively drunk. You’ve really got to want it, got to focus, but usually I find myself quite capable both.

“Going to sleep” is no longer a decision or an activity one can decide to undertake, (nor does it, for that matter, seem like a requirement for further existence at all…) but sleeping becomes an inevitably inconvenient end to a semi-drunken-drive of ugly metaphors, lost in a nameless part of Northern New Jersey... out of gas, out of pills, out of people and out of pants. Cut short and bleached blonde, the taste of death finally becomes too much for the tongue and associated nostrils. Slip, skid, and be swallowed by the light of 1000 factories that, although you may fight the idea, are just as naturally existing on this earth as the Grand Canyon, or the Delaware River. And relative to the length of the human technological age, this sweeping skyline of smoke-producing factories took just as long to form. An empty sprawl of industrial and mechanical fields stretches from swamp to overpass and under train track laden bridges, falling flush against brown bodies of city-side water, a beautiful sight for both interstate traffic and train-riders alike.

Amphetamines are stupid in their blunt tactlessness – they’re skin deep. And like everything else in our bodies, they inevitably turn cancerous in self-destruction. In the human body it is only a matter of arbitrary time before one single cell rashly decides it can no longer wait the proper amount of time before procreating itself. Similarly, your average male office-building accountant, suffering from your average amount of office building sexual frustration, general loneliness and despair, will eventually snap and resort to paying for intercourse from a hired prostitute. A single pre-cancerous cell in his body behaves no differently: It prematurely reproduces, often unprovoked, incessantly and without much prior thought, darkening its once banal and vanilla future, heading towards an almost certainly bad end. And when this inconsiderate cell so rudely pops prior to its scheduled time, screaming “I cannot take this monotony any longer! ”, others like it are sure to join in the anarchical frenzy almost at once, life turning against itself, aging with too much haste causing an eventual destruction of the larger being, who for the moment, is ignorant of all this. The irony exists in this first cell’s implied intentions: it wants only to create more of its life-giving self. Contrary to basic logic this is not the innocent action it may seem. Often the worst harm is done with the best intentions.

And the beauty here is that it always starts with one. It is one drag of a cigarette that finally gives a man lung cancer. Strangely, this gives me hope -- to know one out of millions can start a revolution against the greater power and bring it down by living too much and too fast; contagious zealously traveling fast in the prairie wind. Consider Albert Hoffman discovering LSD, deep in his first trip, squirting out drops from the first vile of acid ever produced onto the innocent tongues of his unknowing friends, and single-handedly starting a revolution - a group of subjects become hell-bent on living to the fullest, living for the sake of living, being in the moment and for the moment, not waiting around for a distant “happy” future or some monetary goal of fiscal security. In this instance, the idealism ends after the larger Being, in this case “The Man” himself, has been destroyed from within. No, it never did happen, but this is the dream of the accidental cancer that brought down the government.

You remember with a sudden shudder of fear that there is Nowhere to run. Don’t give in to the nonsensical delusion to which society lazily provides with it’s inner-most efforts, to some future concept of “rest”, a vague idea which somehow encapsulates both mental progress and physical healing – an imaginary mental “leftover” of sorts; “retirement”, haunting the subconscious and flooding the tired eyes of the fifty-year 9 to 5 worker. You can hide in a movie, hide in an album, a song, a poem…but only for a moment. Again and again your tie-dye shirt will be torn from your dirty-hippy torso and cordially exchanged for a starched and pressed collared shirt, most-likely across a clean counter-top freshly shined with Windex, but under closer inspection is subtly stained with several decades worth of brown coffee-mug rings. All of the known solar system will be represented here, but you will not notice. Here, at the eggshell counter, you will also receive your first Charlie Brown necktie and a fresh tube of Chap Stick made from some sort of beeswax or rare animal excrement. Congratulations, You have begun to die.

you! fall downward into our circle of young elders, begging, hoping and loathing our darkening, sickly skies as they turn and turn and turn... we shalt spread our medieval asphalt with a relentless repetition of rehearsed, tirelessly ill-conceived cacophonous feedback; help us find our lost prayers which were so suddenly swallowed by a the parking lot of a plasticized CVS. to our drugged and lonely planet we scream! we are all too far from the calm of the chaos!

"The Fender Rhodes Piano Bass came out as a joint venture between Harold Rhodes and Leo Fender doing in the late fifties. The 32-note keyboard is the lowest 2 1/2 octaves of a full 73-note Rhodes. The first time the PianoBass shows up in the Fender program isn’t until the 1962-63 catalogue.

The PianoBass was meant to be placed on top of another keyboard to be played with your left hand. Of course any music fans of the ’60′s know that Ray Manzarek of the Doors made this instrument famous. It was that “cheesy” low rumble that’s heard on their earlier stuff that completed their sound."

a message from alec; an impression; a gesture of joking under a cloak of hoping/:

oh ye of high groundednesses,

tell us how we erred on a path toward the wrinkle of the sky and the nipple of the unicorn. big things are small! small things are big! oh treasured leader, lead me from this valley of death! oh the folds of the vagina are strong but the wisdom is from the ground, and the grass! the testes may hold the sperm but the oceans will always behave accordingly. oh dry mouth of cigarette, the blood is red but also we get the blues... i know you are the teste of all testes! the raddest being! the bringer of shit from the toilet to the sink! mmmm! discovery is a meaningless mind quest of manipulation involving soap and a sock/before dinner. live as you suckle the breasts of a mother like two succulent eggs, only to be nurtured and nestled and nibbled! then fuck yourself silly, drowning in dirt.

breathe like the breathing is the only thing left in your sack of candles! a parcel of meat, irrigating the scent of all nations! live like a sack of poo in a farmhouse, which slowly rots and vanishes, becoming itself, and other things. everyone is both ways! but you are more like a touch of velvet under a toothpaste dream. a boat on the water of fishes! cast us down with thunderous anal releases of pleasure... and we shall treasure your turds forever! forever and ever! till the beds bleed black and the blinds bring songs!

lately i've been sad! but nothing brings sadness more than the big happy sky emoting emotion emotionally motioning to me all things that are great! bring us hope from your breadth of 3000 dollar knowledge, for we are both poor of spirit and poor of beans!

lay inside your own penis and feel it throbbing against the cheeks of treachery, the bowels of lobotomy, the sirens of the sea... there is nothing left but hope and fear and hope and fear...

until a new tree grows and plants seeds in your eyes/ liver/ hand / face / face / face.

love,

alec

i've been asked to be a contributer to JOYdropper on behalf of Trenton-area (SWcentral?) New Jersey based on this website and a few well received e-mails.

i'm honored and Jersey-proud to be a part of what i see as a beautiful opportunity for New Jersey musicians and creators to spread beyond their immediate stomping grounds and explore the intricate web of local scenes and hero/heroine musicians. the more support and the more attention that is thrown at JOYdropper, the more effective it can potentially be. so please, please, pay attention. it'll all be worth it.

because fuck brooklyn, fuck manhattan, and philadelphia's wimpy... and not in the hamburger-eatin way.

Greetings lost Internet traveller! You’re probably here because we’ve been shooting our electronic seed throughout New Jersey. Now allow that seed to germinate into finger tips that tickle your brain particles, and make you wanna have fun.
No?
Yessss. We are JOYdropper, coming to you and filling your screen with all the fun your resolution allows! JOYdropper is a group of friends from New Jersey who want to give you bored somethings somewhere to go. While you’re sleeping we look for cool things to do — obsessively collecting all the happenings, the people who happen them, and the places they happen — so that you can do them when you’re awake.
That’s because we want to wake you up. There’s pockets of awesome people in our smelly state, all seemingly disconnected. We’re hoping that artists, musicians and other creatives will start venturing outside their small ponds, to other small ponds…and then more awesome shit will start happening.
You can find the sum of our efforts on this here calendar. If you’re too lazy to read the Internet, we can also personally hand deliver these events to your crummy inbox every week. Sign up in that box to the right that says, “MAILING LIST.”
We’ll also be throwing our own little hootenannies, so check back often. This is just the beginning of a whole lot of some bullshit.

Towering Trees' "Proto"

2010-09-25T12:35:00.008-04:00

(http://toweringtrees.bandcamp.com)

a voice in the distance that sounds like a less arrogant julian casablancas mated with a less moping morrissey is singing some pure popping rock&roll from minnesota via portland. here's the last EP of a sunny summer that I, for one, could deal with holding onto for another couple weeks. after that, yeah, welcome autumn, welcome winter, whatever... just give me one more week. i'll take off work. i'll stay outside.

william carpenter and his towering trees have been putting out music for quite some time. will was a bright-eyed, bushy-haired freshman that i met when i tried to go to college one time (no, not that time...the first time). joe P recorded an EP with him in flemington NJ and we've hosted it and some other of his recordings on tamur in the past... the album links are broken turns out. probably because i haven't paid for web hosting in a couple months. BUT THANK GOD FOR BANDCAMP... maybe his back catalogue will show up on there. until then, enjoy the new one. bring it outside with you, get a whiff of the flowers before they die, enjoy it.

remember ima robot? 2006 or something?

here's the singer now (as of 2010 anyway):

"Birthed by Mouth in the year two-thousand and five, young Edward Sharpe had to wait nearly two years before he was to grow his arms and legs and fingers and toes. Immaculately conceived, his father (a Robot who had magically become a real boy…but that’s another story) declared his undying devotion to the creature. He perched the fleshy bust upon a teetering pedestal fashioned from stacked cereal boxes and positioned the display at his window for all the town to see. Young Edward soon proved no ordinary boy."

Prophet happy

2010-08-23T02:23:00.001-04:00

On a grassy knoll a boy was born

He will be a miracle the stories told

When the boy was 3 he was lit on fire as he danced in the trees

At five he decided he wanted to die. So he tied one end a rope to a protruding rock and around his neck. He jumped off the cliff and began to fly.

When he was 8 the world knew nothing of his suffering and what it was to be alive. So he captured the king and drew his blood with a knife. In red he wrote a constitution of the living spirit.

When he was 13 he'd seen enough and started digging. By now he'd decided life could be worth living, but not here. So he leaped into his unmarked grave and sailed to other worlds below. The people murmured and mourned his death the many years that he was gone.

At 25 five he arose again, coming to fruition on the floor of a cave. All the people he gathered and forgave, for he had a message for them. As he spoke a cloud of dust formed around him with each breath he took. Floating above, as if it were heaven's hand reaching, he began to tell the truth. And he said, "Happiness comes only from within. The other worlds exist inside of you."

i love this band. barns, beers, joints, fire-blowing by terbo, bon-fires, pitch black muddy pond-swimming, a capella caveman bridge jams in the heat of summer -- all good things and plenty of good people. except your girlfriend's dad dreaming up ways to cut you down in your sleep. that's some paranoia with a lot of truth. anyway... Heaven Hill EP is only 4 tracks (unfortunately) and the first and last track are the same exact song... if that was intentional, that's genius. if it wasn't... well... punk rock. hells bells. check out this record while the summer's still hot. AND PLAY IT LOUD.

Ecstasy or somthin' else/The South and a long lost Father

2010-08-16T03:51:00.001-04:00

I have so many of these boxes – see how they balance in their shapes and sizes? Each is as sturdy as a corner stone or whatever you call that pressurdedly floating rock in the arches of antiquity or whatever. People thought I was Santa. I don’t know if it was the ecstasy or the boxes, I guess both… And these other pills, I knew I was him too, But I didn’t give any away that I remember. I’m patient as a swamp; it’s where I was brought up. We were born and raised that way but I knew on the highway I was an alligator with rockets, waiting to be found (beat) And here you are! 32 years of birthday presents…lets see…scuba gear to fit a beaver like when you were five. Oh! I got these rocks when I climbed a mountain and them and all the others saved my life and I figured maybe they could save yours too someday… Not that you need saving! – we ALL need saving Jesus, Oh Lord, I and you do too. Here’s a lampshade I used to use to stop my thinkin’. No need to leave the rocking chair when the rocking chair’s enough.

This is my favorite Son: Here's my kidney incase you need it or are starving. I’m sure mine has a finish of possum tail, whiskey maybe, yeah whiskey for sure. Oh and here’s your mother’s hand that fat shit horror. Had to pay $200 to have her body removed from the top floor. I’m amazed that ring didn’t snap off that potato thumb years ago but its yours in the will so here ya go. I didn’t know how else to get it to ya but the rottins well on its way, The maggots’ll make it twice as new. Here’s a treasure map I made when I was drunk. I don’t know where it starts or what’s at the end – Always hoped it would be another map but I didn’t know where to begin. I love walking somewhere even if I never get there. We should follow this map together and I swear you can eat me first; This aged meat’ll taste twice as nice and I want you to procreate.

OH! and a code to the sperm bank storage. (points) See the vials? Fill em full with your juice all the way through and swap em’ out cause I figure money ain’t winning, its lineage. And with al these boxes kid I know you’re gonna win. You’ll have so many kids you can crowd surf in heaven but I’ve never been. (looks at watch) Bout time now isn’t it? (Pulls a knife from his side and stabs him self quick twice in the heart and hands the knife to his son)

Worth Watching !

noise EP

()~~~~~

from the brains of ricky lorenzo, guitarist for the venerable Bordentonian trio the Timid Roosevelts (and former metal bassist)... three albums to download so start gettin. sing a song to the mess of guitars and the white-noise madness... because you wish my bloody valentine weren't such pussies and recorded more albums in less time, because slowdive were english and not american, because the dominican republic is probably as warm as these records, because it'll be fun for you and yours. enjoy it!
