Crap Goes On:This World Series Will Kill me...Fictionband stuff

I wasn't sure if I mentioned this, but I'm part of a web label/collective type thing and everyone should go to it.
It's called Fictionband and it's based out of Dayton Ohio so go there and support the other artists.
Here's another song off of Connecticut called '
Thirty Seconds (Mystic/New London/Norwich)'

This world series is going to kick my ass.
Also, next semester is probably going to suck, not because of my pessimistic attitude towards my department already, but, because there seems to be no classes worth taking.

Now for some updates with what I've been listening to lately:

Throbbing Gristle:



Captain Beefheart And His Magic Band (Mostly Troutmask):

"Cries From The Voice"

Album Art For Days Run Away LXXXVII: Connecticut






Here's a new song from album 87, or, Days Run Away LXXXVII: Connecticut called 'Cries From The Voice'. I'm super proud of the tracks that I've recorded so far. I'm three songs in. This album is very personal (not that the others aren't, this one is just especially personal). It's been a real downer of an october, but I hope you enjoy my output.

I'm 22


it's my birthday and it's really mucky out. Not a lot to say. Really busy. Praying for the friends and family of Seth Gaffney, a fellow connecticutian who studied with me up until my sophomore year (and, at some point, convinced me to shave my beard, only person who ever did that), passed away over the weekend. It's also my birthday today. I'm 22.
Here's a song from 86:

In other news, I get a break from rising blood-pressure with the phillies clinching the NLCS for the second year in a row.

This series is going to send my bloodpressure through the roof...

and ultimately give me a heart attack.

Anyway, here's a new song. I havent been able to update much, been real busy. It's off of album 85: The Hill (Where Everything Is Frozen). Posted above is the album art.
Great post-season so far. Good upper in a frustrating semester.

DRONEEEE/Friendly, shameless friend promotion

First, I'm going to get this out of the way. I feel sort of bad because sometime during the spring, I had excitedly hoped to collaborate with floridian/fellow ambient artist (who I know as) The_Forgotton. Things got busy, computer broke at some point and I was moving so I never really got to follow up on the impressive (and pretty intimidatingly talented) track that he sent me.

The point is, however, that he's a refreshingly talented artist who, in a genre where it can be all too easy, doesn't resort to making music merely with computer programs.
You Can Listen To
TheForgotton Here At http://www.jamendo.com/en/artist/TheForgotton.

And you can listen to his other, More Prolific project,
Caustic Reverie at http://www.jamendo.com/en/artist/Caustic_Reverie.

Here's a little bit about the project from the horse's mouth:

'Caustic Reverie is a side project of The Forgotton’s Bryn Schurman to explore darker textures and soundscapes. So far, techniques such as image-based synthesis, musique concrète, and fractals have been employed in its sound design.



And on to my new song, off of divorce, here's the drone heavy
From The Window Of The Hotel (The Mountains Seem On Fire).

The Last Track Of Divorce: Weeks Of Rain

Album 82 is finally finished.
I'm currently finalizing the track-listing for my next compilation, Punching At The Breeze, which is difficult due to the fact that I have to weed through 23 albums (I let it slip for far too long).
Here's the song (The Song was recorded/composed using all vocals. Though they were manipulated in post, there are no other instruments in this song):



For other updates, Phils won the NL East for the third time in a row, which is incredibly exciting. To anyone who wants to catch up or keep up on the Phils (without annoying flash or adds, with a great sense of humor), I'd highly recommend checking out the blog The Fightins(http://thefightins.com/). This is the blog where I found this incredible picture:


And on to what I've been enjoying as of late:
