Shiva's Sanctimony Live at the Red Sea Spring 2007

Cold Drafts a Blowin'

As I sat down to finish Grossberg's "We Gotta Get Out of This Place", one of the people we hired to change our windows showed up suddenly and took out the window next to my computer desk. I was to leave the room as they changed my windows into something more insulating.

So in that time frame (with bangs and drills and loud yelling going on throughout the house) I started gathering notes and times for the upcoming Citizens Banned Summer 2007 montage that I want to start making in January after I finish the Shiva Red Sea project and another book for Patch. I watched the summer shows one after the other, and found them all to be very similar in style and you could tell we were all in a certain state of mind during that timeframe. Very relaxed, actually.

There's a newfound work ethic abound in my noggin. Constant activity will be occurring if it kills me.

Appropriation

I will be posting new media online soon, which means look at past blogs that have MORE SOON now to see where the red flags are for new material. All of the media was kind of on the backburner due to my USB ports being out of commission. I could've used another computer . . . so yeah, call it laziness in the end. But there's no excuse now. The ports are fixed.

As I delve into a project which doesn't render too much in terms of public whoredom, enjoy this random audio file I made as a first track to a recent new mix I made called Appropriation, this being the title track. It's a 22 track CD, kind of dealing with what I'm reading about for Patch. Appropriating and exploiting music for one's own consumer regime ideals . . . yaddah yaddah yaddah . . . contact me if you'd like a copy of it.

APPROPRIATION
--Some of the files include Beck's "Where It's At", Air's "The Vagabond", The Mars Volta's "Vicarious Atonement", Leadbelly's "In the Pines", Sigur Ros' "Ny Batteri", and especially Broken Social Scene's "Capture the Flag".
