Deep

It’s been snowing here. Deeper and deeper. We’ve been stoking the fire, making nachos and playing in the freezing Orderly Manor. Must fix that door. A trip to Portland played host to the fine wedding of true Queen & King Allie & Barry, some overindulgence, wheezing, great breakfast and a large loud jam with the ...

it just dumped on us. no escape. like those magic crystal trees. we went for a walk. this has nothing to do with music. i’ll get it back on track. there’s this organ that i have my eyes on. if it happens it could be cool…

So i think we have it. The mastered versions have now settled and i think its time to leave them alone and let em fly their own way. This means that the mp3s on this very site and on the dread myspace are the real deal. Or at least as close as you can get ...

we’re in LA. We drove for amny hours for to get here. we went to Hanks with Dave and Michelle and talked ghost stories. Fine company, fine atmosphere (Neil Diamond blasted way too loud) and a fine evening. I forgot my camera so this’ll have to do.

Once again, again.

Didn’t quite make it today. Mastering was cool til we hit some glitch noise stuff from when we fed the tape back into the dread slow-tools. So… it’ll be a bit longer. In the meantime i just want to write new stuff and forget about whether the guitars are too bright or the organ is ...
