Updates. Calls.

Look to your right. Down a little. Under the poll (be sure to vote!.) I updated the links omnibus. There are 31 entries linking to 132 glorious music files.

More music is in the hopper but I need more stuff!! If you have any live/unreleased/out of print music you'd like for me to possibly post then contact me (bendavismusic@comcast.net.) I tend to post older things from Atlanta but if it's a current project, or from another city, that's fine too.

(Full) Frontal Blogotomy.

While you're checking out other blogs, you may as well check out James Joyce's amazing and ever expanding Atlanta Band Genome post. All of the bands mentioned on my blog are on there plus a billion more linked on one big dysfunctional family tree. Noot D'Noot is only five steps away from John Coltrane (figured out by yours truly) so it's getting pretty interesting and ridiculous. Hit James up with any adds that you have:

Math and Noise

The comment in the post below by Louis Howe reminds me of something I meant to do last month, and that is direct you to his blog. Opinions/downloads etc. with (obviously) math and noise rock leanings. His opinions are pretty spot on in my book. Hell, homeboy's even down with Knot Feeder. Are you???? (2 hour later update: yes, it is a challenge!)

Omnibus Edition One.

Or: More damn Moreland Audio than you ever could have (would have) asked for. Some of this stuff has been posted before and some has not. One thing is for sure though, playing almost exclusively at the EARL every month and a half is why we became such roc-starz. The Star Bar show was opening for Copa Vance. Maybe a recording of their set is floating around. Hmmm. One of the EARL shows (I think 9/6/02) was a chunklet release party, and another was opening for Ocelot. I would have to listen to every single track one more time to be more specific and Hebrew Elvis is tellin' me "no way, man."

Notes From The Chop Shop.

So there is only one Purkinje Shift live recording that I know of that wasn't chopped into separate tracks. It still baffles me. Many times the cuts were in the wrong place and totally interrupt the flow. Like I said before, this is for documentation only but these shows still may be enjoyable to listen to.

5/23/98 at under the couch (probably opening for Regulator Watts) is...

....here

and 5/99 at Criminal Records (with Super x-13 (I think) and Lust) is....

....heeeerrrreee.

Have a great 1/18/2008, and don't forget about 1/19/2008: Noot D'Noot @ Lenny's with Judi Chicago. Byes.

More from the Ark

Kenyon just sent another Ocelot tune. It's called "what do you expect he drinks whiskey and plays guitar."
Whoever it refers to sounds like he must be a very happy man. This one features Gary Flom//buoyant on lap steel. More may be coming if Kpax can get the tapes from West Side Red.

This one also has the "Red Judas" tag on it which I am assuming is the album title.

Here 'tis...

Lost Arc-a-lot

Well it seems that the lost Ocelot album is slowly trickling in. Kenyon just sent me one track from it called "red judas scarlet waves of you." Along with Kpax, A-roc and Rum Tum Tugger, a (then) fresh faced young boy named Alex Lambert was pounding the skins. I'm also featured on this track on saxophone and alto flute (my only recording on that instrument before I had to sell it.) Jaheem from Kenyon's original band Vertical Smile/Sibil (?) appears at the end on vocals.

If this song is a description of your life then, my friend, you started out life as a young street tough, committed a heinous crime, fled to a commune in the desert and ended up on a permanent acid trip. I hope that was grammatically correct. Now I'm worried.

I think another track from this will be coming from Gary soon, as he was also a guest on the record. I'm not sure how much was actually mixed down though so we'll see.
