my friend Matthew Vrabel and I have started working on a small DIY recording collective called FUCK MY LIFE records.  visit it here: myspace.com/fuckmyliferecords.

the Arto record will now be distributed, in addition to on our own myspace page, on the FUCK MY LIFE page.

in addition to Arto's record, I have just finished my own collection of recordings, the Hjem EP.  my musical project is named Castles.  my myspace is myspace.com/lecarnaval.  the EP comes in a hand-made case, with either a random collection of a few of my original poems or a small printing of my short story, MILK AND HONEY.  the release will also come out through FUCK MY LIFE and my own myspace.  cost: a mere five american dollars.

in the very near future, my record will also be available in digital release form through MINE, ALL MINE! records, which is run by John, a friend we made through Myles in Madison.  MINE, ALL MINE! specializes in experimental, ambient, and electronic music.  lots of good things happening.  the url is myspace.com/mineallminerecords.

this album art may or may not be featured for hard copies, but for the digital release, the album art stands as:

I am out of breath.

COMMUNIQUÉ

good morning, comrades.

who reads this?

I do.

do you?

oh well.

no matter.

Myles would be happy right now--my roommate keeps playing the first four seconds of each song off of mellon collie and the infinite sadness.

but I digress.

thank you to everyone who came to the basement show two saturdays ago, and thank you especially to BEYOND THIS LIFE (myspace.com/beyondthislifemusic) and RAINY DAY GRIZZLIES (myspace.com/rainydaygrizzlies) for playing.

we played three songs that are newer than those off of our first record (WHICH PEOPLE SHOULD STILL BE BUYING/STEALING FROM FRIENDS/BURNING AND GIVING TO FRIENDS).  

the new songs:

THE KNIFE

AUNT TRACY IS DEAD (IN HER WHEEL CHAIR)*

PROMISED LAND!

* = Jamie, if I have this song title wrong, tell me, please.

this winter holiday season we have a few musical events planned.

one is going to be street performances to benefit salvation army.

additionally, we have a super special holiday basement show in the early stages of planning. 

so there are things to keep that old chin up for.
