Dial-up IS Dead!!!!!!!!!

To paraphrase a Seinfeld quote, everyone around me has been lighting matches while I've been rubbing two sticks together. Today we got rid of dial-up. I may never leave my computer seat again. Saddle time in danger? No.

(BREAK OUT THE DUST PANS, NAME DROP ALERT!). My old friends Mark and Craig have an album that "drops" today. Go check it out or their web site http://www.myspace.com/vhsorbeta . Bring on the Comets is the name of the album.

Years ago I was in band with them called, the Foriegn Film Stars. We were drunk on sonic noise at the time. We were a mix of Dinosaur Jr, Sonic Youth, Blonde Redhead, Unwound, etc.....

In honor of the release, here are some songs we recorded on a 4-Track with no vocals. We recorded them in an old grocery store on College Street. It was a large open space that gave a distinctive sound. There was another band called The Loved that shared the space at the time. Their EP on Temporary Residence (http://www.temporaryresidence.com/ ) was recorded at the same space and has the same sound. Only a few of the songs had names and the others I just named after things we joked about at the time. Here's just a taste of what we were up to at the time. (BTW Jason A. played drums on the recording )
