I'm in a band called The Results. We finished recording a sweet album's worth of material last fall, and we haven't practiced since. There's a part of me that wants to sit on it for twenty years and then let people hear it, but that's never gonna happen.

xpost I've always wondered if female WPRB djs get hit on over the request line a lot.

― Hurting (Hurting), Tuesday, 29 March 2005 02:43 (twenty-one years ago)

yes, we do. quite often. there's a dude who calls and asks for girls to laugh, because he's got a fetish for women's laughter [??]. there's another guy, whose name im completely blanking on, that always calls when i play something pre-1980 and wants to know how old i am.

― maria tessa sciarrino (theoreticalgirl), Tuesday, 29 March 2005 02:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Wow. I have to admit, in my lonliest moments, I've been tempted to call cute-sounding djs ("Wow, they're cute AND they're into music!!!"), but then thought better of it.

― Hurting (Hurting), Tuesday, 29 March 2005 02:50 (twenty-one years ago)

thank you for refraining from calling. thankfully in the new station we have caller id.

i dont mind calls from my friends, though.

My band is named Blowjob. Well, if I'm going to be honest, it isn't a band as of yet. It's a concept. One day, however, Blowjob shall rule the earth. muahahaha. MUAHAHAHAHAH.

Shakey, your bands have fantastic names.

Mama Digdown's Brass Band is still working up tunes for the next album. We might be doing a Mowtown thing instead of just Jackson tunes, for obvious reasons.

The Cleft & Cloven (my electronic group) record is going really well, if a little slowly because my partner is busy with his other band. There should be a new website very soon. I just finished up a dn'b tune that's pretty crazy and the current in-progress tune is a brass band/dancehall joint with lots of horns and shit.

I'm finally listening to your band on CDBaby -- the live disc. It's great! I may order a copy.

Eh, I guess I'll bite. These are some songs I've been doing haphazardly in my dorm. When I get back home in the summer, I'm starting up an actual band with some friends which will be some bastard spawn of N.E.R.D. and Primal Scream. And also, a french horn will get worked in there.

I'll probably live to regret this, but...

The Village Voice called me a "Russian label whore" (off a particularly snooty press release, though).

the band's in brooklyn, the label's in sydney, but that's only 'cause we were unable to find any labels in brooklyn who had either smudge or sneeze on the roster, which was our entire criteria when seeking a home.

Thanks Hurting!

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 29 March 2005 13:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Perhaps premature to post, but I've started producing, this is the first rough product. Very rough mix only.

"Shakey, your bands have fantastic names."

thx - hopefully the music lives up to 'em.

anyone wanna help me book a west coast tour? I find the logistics really daunting, but I don't think there's any better way for people to find out about us.

― Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 29 March 2005 16:30 (twenty-one years ago)

I feel funny about this self-promotion stuff, but I'm in a Portland, OR band called Empty Set.

Shakey, if you need help getting a Portland show, I may be able to help out.

― darin (darin), Tuesday, 29 March 2005 16:55 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm in an outfit monikered Citywide Vacuum. It had been a two piece for seven years, but we have recently added a drummer (very exciting!), and less often, a trombone. We label ourselves as a "New Wave Dub" band, and others have compared us to The Orb, Air, and Boards of Canada. We begin another attempt to record our first album tonight. It'd be nice to get over that hump!

― peepee (peepee), Tuesday, 29 March 2005 17:02 (twenty-one years ago)

darin e-mail me at [email protected] - maybe something in June or July...? There's a lot of ifs involved (8-9 people, many instruments, film projectors, etc.), but I'd like to do it...

anyone in LA wanna help us with a show there? anyone? beuller?

― Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 29 March 2005 17:54 (twenty-one years ago)

I play bass in Minneapolis band Yodel A-Go-Go. No website, no recordings, no ambitions; just a bunch of honky-tonk country, rockabilly and jump blues covers.

― Daniel Peterson (polkaholic), Tuesday, 29 March 2005 19:53 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm in a band in Knoxville playing bass and singing some. We are called Tenderhooks. We are recording a record right now and will hopefully tour after that. I used to play drums in a band called Kamuy. We effectively broke up over the last couple weeks when our bass player moved to NYC. We had one crappy recording under our belts, but didn't aspire to do much of anything besides play, learn and have fun with that.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Tuesday, 29 March 2005 19:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Some drone stuff I've been working on lately, enjoyable to create but not sure how much fun it is to listen to. www.nowhereians.com

"I'm in a band in Knoxville playing bass and singing some. We are called Tenderhooks. We are recording a record right now and will hopefully tour after that."

I am very prolific in my music making. I have a covers album I did under my own name last year (hopefully an originals album out later this year,) Planck Length is my techno project (album out last year, working on the new one now,) French Traffic [lo-fi avant-improv-pop-ambient] was my main band until my partner in crime moved further away, although we did release about 7 albums and 3 outtakes compilations in 2 years though. I've also recorded 4 "record an album in a day" records with my 17 year old brother, which no one on earth should really hear.

btw, when I say "release" I just mean "print out some artwork and give it to a couple friends."

There are some MP3s on my websitethat I should update sooner or later.

American Altitude will be at Manhattan Room, Philadelphia, April 9, and at Galaxy Hut, Arlington, VA, April 16

My band, the Fake Fictions, will be on the University of CHicago's radio station this Friday, Apr. 1st, from 9 to 10:30 PM, playing our set and talking about ourselves. It should be interesting.

About 30 mp3s here -- massively varying in sound.

― Ian Riese-Moraine. Sweeter than a lorry load of white Toblerones. (Eastern Mantr, Tuesday, 7 June 2005 12:55 (twenty-one years ago)

I play lead guitar for a guy named Lorrie Matheson

Used to sing and play bass in a band called Fake Cops. You can hear me screeching on the mp3s on that site.

Now I'm figuring out the intracacies of DAW recording so I can get a solo project underway, which will vacilate between:
- pop songs
- kraut/japanese psych rock
- dsp guitar, elongated acoustic drone

I am playing tonight at 9 on the rooftop stage of the Delancey (Delancey east of Clinton), accompanied by... glockenspiel.

― joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Tuesday, 7 June 2005 20:52 (twenty-one years ago)

two tracks from swimmer one, who aren't my band but my friends'. they are, however, very dear to my heart ... and absolutely brilliant too. electronic chamber-pop by the associates' spiritual heirs.

download the songs here and then find out more about the band here.

the songs were made to be shared, so tell everyone you know, and feel free to propagate them over any networks you feel fit.

git wit tha ?Faux-Real! program and let yr insides melt a little...

http://www.myspace.com/fauxreal

imagine a band where the first thing was to immediatly make people not want to listen. then, do the exact opposite on the next release.

now, we're back like a bad VD you can't get rid of, just hide from.

― eedd, Monday, 13 June 2005 15:43 (twenty years ago)

two weeks pass...

Time for a revive. I'm playing with a band called Begushkin at Maxwell's in Hoboken, NJ on July 7.

It's the project of Dan Smith, a sometime Will Oldham side-man. It's good -- literary, funny, and also kind of creepy. Filling out the band will be the bass player for The Occasion and the guitarist from my band, American Altitude.

E-mail me if you want a track and I'll send you one.
