hey, i dunno who still reads this shit but sorry i havent updated in a while, it turned out i had ball cancer after all

seriously though if i cant mediafire you dudes some records from a hospital bed i just dont have any business at the forefrontof the blogosphere do i?

anyway they have me on some sweet ass painkillers

this is a tape i recorded with my 2 main dudes, arthur and preston, over summer

preston records as presstones, you can peep his shit here http://www.myspace.com/gorseloops

arthur has a myspace with some ok stuff on it but hes done a lot better shit in the last few months, heres my favorite thing hes sent me and his space www.myspace.com/thearthur4

oh heres my stuff www.myspace.com/fiftythousandbees

i mean preston is definitely steering a lot of the tape, since he was mostly the one in charge of the loops, he's the one doing the weird little guitar figures, arthur is doing the more riffy stuff and i think he played some keyboard, i'm doing oscillator and samples

side 1 is pretty good, side 2 is easily the best recording ive ever been a part of

oh also, stolen link but heres the soundtrack to limits of control, the new jarmusch movie

i feel like if i hadnt been on tons of painkillers i woulda found it super boring but i absolutely loved it

chris doyle shot it, he's the dude who shot all the wong kar wai movies, all my friends are super gay for him

its basically an ambient movie, theres enough snappy dialogue to keep it moving, but its all basially within a vacuum, everyone just riffs about one topic, patterns repeat, and we get a bunch of absolutely beautiful desert shots

also the soundtrack is fucking perfect, sunn, earth, boris, black angels, jarmusch's band Bad Rabbit, totally fits

i love the desert, and i love droney rock anf i love this movie
