REAL TALK!
to my knowledge the daytime Alec K. Redfearn show we are having at AS220 has NOT been canceled.
If you feel like sledding down to Empire street come hang out.

BLOOD LIKE MUD

See the Spanish myspace player for "Snoozer Hotel" and "Father Charisma".
We finished these two here songs in just under 20 hours or so. Or maybe 10.
Times flies when your trying to mix down 30 tracks of information to tape.

I've always really wanted to like this. But I just can't, not now, not ever. Post Rumours and Tusk it should actually rule. If I wanted to go to a bar at the end of a murky road in Montana, I would do just that. At least then I would have the possibility getting knifed or robbed or SOMETHING. Notice Jimmy Iovine in the liner notes (lol). Also I do not appreciate the Tom Petty feature either. Just because Buckingham kicked you on stage doesn't make it right. (per Wikipedia "When interviewed about it later, Buckingham was unable to remember his actions, but did not deny that it could have happened." story of my life).

Pre-Money

Gentleman don't get caught..

Has anyone ever seen this Gucci comercial by Lynch???

this just came to my attention although I cant hear it because someone is sound checking but Im told its Blondie anyway::

MAIDENS AND SIRS DISINTERGRATE YOUR BLACK BOOKS

It is hailing right now but hot? Total earth crisis. The past month has been weird and wild. I pulled like 96 hours straight at AS220 setting up stuff for 9 piece ghetto youth guitar ensembles, films where I am not on the inside of the joke, and gentle folk heroes. Everyone I have run into has actually been amazing give or take. Then figuring out Newborn Medicine in Boston via Providence by day and somehow building this new record here.

Pulled in people old and new. These particular photos above are from when the Shaman came by to see what we were up to and while he shot he even laid down a sax track (that is his crotch pictured). Dan Burns has been all over this new shit. The bearded secret weapon from the Honeyhander days. Maybe the only one who didn't want me dead. We recorded a ton last weekend and watched Lost Highway on this Lynch revival I've been on. "AT YOUR HOUSE" is the most crushing line ever dropped ever. John Denver has been by alot to lay shit to tape. Valiant brother of sound. Everyone says the new stuff sounds like Pet Sounds 4008 or drugs or both. I'll take it.

As far as the first record we joined up with alot of amazing people to launch it into this cruel world. Cozy will drop it February 10th, coincidentally the day I was born in 1983. Tim, did you even know that? Almost pushed the date back another week because of it but you know whatever right?

Tio works at Godiva. He can get you a mean discount for your girl. Really.

As for this week, well, I will finally get some well earned Z's.

RESPONSE AT 1:09 REALLS SUMS IT ALL UP

THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD IN TELEPHONE NUMBERS

Probably weird to post songs from your upcoming second record while your first record is in the process of being released but whatever this is 2008

new songs at VIRB (cuz our myspace jukebox died) and you can DOWNLOAD them free cuz no label owns this yet and cant yell at me.

Not 94 is like Patrick Wolf meets AIDS Wolf.

The Squirrel shows the true passion fruit of new guitarist John Denvers labour.

Kris Petersen is like Kris Petersen.

SENSATIONAL BASS TOSS

All new material has been inspired by the """"fake forest""""" in this video.
Menacing but funny ya know??
Here in the studio we have had a blast load of sensational bass tosses coming out of the speakers. I got this Thunderbird and been playing some serious grumbling shit. Terrifying really. Started getting a farm of guitars again because the synths broke. Probably for the better. Recording like 2 songs a day. It's interesting recording a record while the industry is trippin balls. I think I'm dumb or maybe just happy.

Employing my services to AS220 has been cute and innovative so far. This band RESISTANT CULTURE headlined the other night and had a banner that said """TURTLE ISLAND TRIBAL GRIND"""" on it. The singer had a flute and told me to put some flavor on it(apparently DELAY!).

Tio Abbott has returned to the Northeast but cannot be reached for comment???? More soon on that

A NITE WITH THE SHAMAN

I spent the last few hours with my old friend N. NITE THE SHAMAN. Wise to some, photo wizard to all. We finger plucked our way through a backdrop of some kind of David Lynch set that has yet to exist. The african rattle images didn't make the cut although the concept was there. Coyotes were straight up HOWLING. I grabbed my guitar and ran from random shufflings in the bushes on more than at least 2 occasions. Truly wild.

N. NITE THE SHAMAN can be reached for his services at: NICHOLAS_CAITO@YAHOO.COM

Beard Staff

I was away from this thing for a good long time. Not even sure why really. Sold out for myspace blogger I guess. So anyway I'm gonna start updating this here regularly starting...now.

Looking back to what the last entry was I guess alots been going on or the cogs have been in the works on alot to BE going on. I took forever to finish the full length. Like FOREVER. The whole first year or two of doing this whole thing finishing a record was not even a priority of mine. The idea was to get out the 12" single thingy and play live until my face turned purple. Well my face turned purple. So eventually the thing was completed, picked out some 11 or so songs that were relevant to each other within the time frame and voila. Burned Up, Bred High. In the process of being released by Tim O'Keefes COZY imprint. As distribution takes a while I ended up zoning out and beginning LP 2 with my right hand man John Denver...I want to finish a body of work in a tiny amount of time on the next ish. One of the mixes is actually blasting back in my face right now. Changed up the approach almost entirely. Sounds like Dennis Wilson in 2028 over a detailed backdrop of jangly delayed out insanity. But let's not get ahead of ourselves here.

Track list for Burned Up, Bred High is:

1. Hustler
2. Faith, Faith, Faith
3. The Bloods
4. Secret
5. Free Jail
6. Widows
7. Eerie Indiana
8. Pepper Keenan
9. William Vanity
10. Burned Up, Bred High
11. Tall Club

In the meantime been making some extra scratch with doing the BLOOD MONEY party over at Local 121 in the old Dreyfus Hotel. Third Thursday of every month usually. Music typically entails Shoegazer, Rap, Early 70's California Coke Rock, Indie Anthemz, whatever really. 121 Washington St and FREE. Also will be keeping busy as the newest member of the beard staff over at AS220 where I can be found in the sound tower doing the sounds. HOLLA.

HUSTLER. GOLD.

The Hustler 12" single dropped January 28th via the Luminal imprint! This is the first official Spanish release. The single off the upcoming record Burned Up, Bred High. 200 pressed on clear gold vinyl, 100 pressed on black. You can order it here.

Press release sayz:

Finally, finally, finally Providence's avante pop juggernaut Spanish Dancer drops his debut single Hustler via the Luminal imprint on glorious 12" gold vinyl and what a motherfucker it is. Either by way of live spectacle or blog dudes running their mouth or both, kids freaked out when Hustler's beat dropped at gigs, and they knew the words verbatim like it was off a best of joint or something and it hadn't even been recorded properly yet let alone slated for release. The fuzzed out bassed out champagne disco alt mega groover already nabbed Spanish press comparisons from Prince to Suicide to JT although the general consensus seems to be that he is on some "other shit" altogether. Remixes from Trouble & Bass' The Captain, Mike Hoska, and Omaha's The Show Is The Rainbow are all here as well along with the B-side Break Bread, Move Grams, Keep It Basic. Off the upcoming Spanish Dancer long player Burned Up, Bred High, slated for a mid-2008 release.
