fuzmeister: Might have found a new drummer

---

So there is a good possibility that Steve Thompson's new drummer will be none other than Stephen Peck (States of Melba, ex-Zao). I'm not 100% sure on any of it yet, but there's a good chance.

Here are some videos from last weekend's States of Melba show (probably their last). You can see that I am playing bass in the corner all sad and lonesome.


Moon Bones


Just The Head of an Unassembled Cyborg


Lost Innocence / Phantom Cyclist

Sorry about the bad recording quality. Thanks for Jon Atkins for forwarding these to me.

Mood: Eh
Music: George Harrison - The Lord Loves The One (That Loves The Lord)

fuzmeister: Soul Coughing

---

They were one of the most creative bands of the 1990s. Anyone else a fan of these guys? Last night, Kate and I went to see Mike Doughty (ex-frontman of Soul Coughing) with Dave Trinh and his girlfriend (as well as Steve Scott).

I don't know. He's got a tight live act and solid solo career going, but I don't think he will ever measure up in terms of innovation as when he was with his old band.

Mood: In Thought
Music: Soul Coughing - Is Chicago, Is Not Chicago

fuzmeister: One Slip?

Not sure if this is really concrete information, but I'd pay some serious dough to see Pink Floyd live. Perhaps as much or more as I'd pay to see a Zeppelin show. Who knows if this will happen, but it would be great. The world needs more Pink Floyd right now.

fuzmeister: Swan Division / Joy Song

---

Tonight it occurred to me that Swan Song sounds a little bit like something Joy Division might have done. My favorite part about Swan song is there's this like infinite delay that just keeps sort of going on on the one channel - it's very atmospheric and, to be honest, I'm not even sure how we did that.

Mood: Eh
Music: Joy Division - Autosuggestion

fuzmeister: Experiment

---

I get strangely inspired by things such as Nine Inch Nails Ghosts I-IV. It's weird really, but sometimes I get a spur of bizarre creativity where I just want to be totally surreal. Tonight I had an idea to create some experimental music which is nothing new (see examples 1 and 2). I shot some video a few weeks back while driving in the snow and I thought it would be something awesome with some strange sort-of music backing it.

Anywho, back in 2004 I had a brief period where I would write these experimental pieces (poems some would consider them, I guess) just as quickly as I could to be sort-of a stream-of-consciousness type thing. Some sucked, but some were quite interesting.

My idea is to possibly combine those writings with some brand new experimental music and some video clips... sort of a multimedia experiment, if you will. I'd probably release just the music for free as a download or something.

Mood: Bizarre
Music: Ataxia - Addition
