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.
