Links Fer Breakfast

mornin', everybody. well, it's finally getting "fall-like" here. temp's dropping, leaves dropping, etc. my favorite time o' the year...

anyway, got a couple of blog links for ya. first off, my friend bella, from elephant stone records, blogs on her site about attending a gig up in michigan of which adam franklin, the lead singer from swervedriver, was the headliner. it is both very funny and very sad, as it illustrates in a microcosm what's wrong with so much of the music scene today. i swear to god, gigs in library's and churches from here on out, ok?

the second link is a great new blog called "the optigan project." as many of you know, i have an optigan. and i love it. if you don't know what an optigan is go here. anyway, this "optigan project" blog is chronicling the efforts of the author to make new opitgan discs or to at least make copies of the existing discs. this is funny to me, as we have been talking about trying the same thing in the studio the last few months. evidentially, mark linkous of sparklehorse, has successfully made copies of optigan discs, or so he claimed in an interview a while back. pea hicks, the guy behind the band optiganally yours, claims in a e-mail to the "optigan project" blog that he has tried and found it nearly impossible to copy optigan discs or make new ones. anyway, head to the blog and read more, if you are so inclined...

ty was all set to come by to help me finish up the orange cake mix record yesterday but then his car wouldn't start. the gods, as always, are against us...but we shall prevail...

and no, i do not want to talk about the indians historic collapse, thank you very much!

more later...
