about

2004 or maybe 2005 - early solo folk and home organ tunes - this is a rip from a copy of the CD-R release (mp3 files) - in other words, lo-fi

at this time, I'd load up my Roland VS-880 8-track with songs until there was little to no memory left, then bug a friend to help siphon them onto a CD-R master. Kevin Bernsten was that friend who graciously helped with the digital transfer for this album.

since the vocals are buried on a lot of the tracks, a pdf booklet of the lyrics is included with download (some lyrics missing - the vocals were buried on some songs to the extent that I couldn't make out or remember the lyrics) UPDATE: tracked down the original packaging and added it to download

i don't have the original art - i think there was a lot of handwriting and a line drawing, maybe a stamp - also, couldn't remember all the original song titles, so i made a few up

a lot of these lyrics were written while coming off a bad six month trip - infinity nightmares, foggy delusions, chaotic hallucinations, unguided meditations, total reality confusion, and general spiritual insanity - madcap stuff!

released January 1, 2005

Cory Davolos - floor tom (tracks 3, 6*, 7)
Kevin Bernsten - digital transfer

*original track 6 on CD-R was the actual song called Big Dumb Blur, which I don't have a copy of anywhere. i have no idea what the name of track 6 on this digital version was called - also, I don't think the one i've uploaded is actually a part of this album?
