i’ve been getting emails asking about SPACE DIVE. so a little preview of the tape that will be out next month on digitalis. it’s a new solo project. over the past few years, i’ve been writing a lot of songs that have been dying in the vines with nowhere to go. so i reworked them from guitar to synth and voila. originally i was going to do this on DSQ, but i like it too much. i reckon a lot of people who are into the north sea & ajilvsga won’t be as into it, but oh well. not my problem. here’s a preview.
encore
from 21st century sport
also, i have TWO copies of the grave committee tape left. all others are sold-out. ukraine archival release coming in the next few weeks.
QUICK NOTE:
new north sea tape, SWEET BOXING, is now available on eden’s teosinte label. crazy recycled packaging, pure analog synth drones, limited to 32 copies.
SCOPE.

just got back from chicago last night around 9 (that’s one hell of a drive) and am feeling tired, but still on a high from all the incredible times we had up north. madison & chicago – you both rule. the shows were great. we got an awesome radio recording out of it (which came out so well that you can expect a vinyl issue of it soon). we started a new band (FACE MELT), hatched plans for a gallery/performance/live-in space in tulsa, spent too much at reckless in chicago, ate a shit ton of great food, met a shit ton of awesome people, probably almost died-by-trucker on I-44 last night, traded tons of tapes… it was awesome.
and if you didn’t come out to either show, you missed some great stuff (the tuma/weis set at enemy was absolutely devastating). but there WILL be a next time for sure.
so, i’ve got about 200 emails i need to work on getting back to, but i’m taking the day off – so bear with me if you don’t hear from me for a few days, but i’ll get to everything – i swear. going to have new tapes out this week too – vinyl maybe next week… and i came home to new masters for the ELM and evan caminiti CDs (+ goodwillies/black eagle child collab and an anla courtis album – talk about coming home to fucking christmas!) and organized a couple new split LPs whilst on the road, so expect a ton of news, etc sooooooooon. now it’s VEG TIME.
