nothing and everything all at once

In the coming weeks I plan on compiling some lists of compositions by friends and people around that globe that I find interesting. I want to make this participatory, so, if there is anything you have heard that you want to write a short blurb over and can supply a link to an mp3 sample, please send it to: freneticlove@gmail.com

this also goes for anyone that is in a band or at the helm of any sort of project, you can email me your own tracks. If you want, you can even review your own tracks, and if I find the review insightful, I will post it.

FL/NCA 001

here it is, this will be available tonight for "free" if you want to give us a 1-2 dollar donation, though, that would be great:

Open letter

To those of you that may have read the write-up on us in weshotjr this week:

Just to clear the air, I want to make our purposes very clear.

First: we, in no way, intend to fuse noise into the pop culture framework, we understand that this would never work for a myriad of reasons.

Second: and this is more theoretical: imagine a photograph (huge picture 100'X100' or so) cut that picture up into four pieces, then cut it up into smaller pieces, rearrange it, then cut it up again. The picture is sound, there is a framework, a spectrum, only so much to work with, but it can be juxtaposed in a million and one different positions. Creating your own collage is just that, searching for sounds THAT YOU have never heard, it has nothing to do with established boundaries, just different combinations, erase the binary.

Third: if its not on the radio, if its not across the street, if its not in your head 24 seven when you don't want it to be, then leave it alone, why hate it? Agitation of this kind is completely pointless, it will do you no good.

Fourth: our mission statement is simple, we just want to foster a community, no matter how small, that likes to take their ears to new places. If we can utilize the technological tools at our disposal to spread the resulting seeds over the eschewed geography of our boundary free world, we will do so, if we can pay our bills at the same time: even better.

thanks, and come out tonight, it will be fun!

UPDATE

violent squid will be playing at J&J's Pizza this saturday... As always the details are a bit hazy, but with VS, expectations aren't necessary. Ty and his cohorts never fail to bring a totally unpredictable brand of psych-quest improvery complete with shouts to the god's and the occasional nod to the beats with the recitation of drug addled god-poetry. I wouldn't miss them if I were you, Violent Squid only happens every so often, and when it does, its beautiful.

I forgot: the new "independent media" store: STRAWBERRY FIELDS is slated to open this week (the sign on their window reads "TUES-DAY?" so, maybe this will happen... )

official website
myspace

oddly enough... their myspace page has far more info than the actual website...

ps. let us know if ANYTHING else is happening this week: freneticlove@gmail.com

The No-History-Perpetual-Media Times

An interesting thing is happening. Almost everything virtual and accessible is floating around in this new cyber dimension that not only co-exists with our physical plane but is also becoming one with it in a relative stew of digital puzzle pieces.

History has the potential to no longer be history. What happened yesterday can be experienced today. Just go to Youtube.com, etc. The past is today and today is tomorrow and you get the point. Some people like to ask- but, what about something new? You know the whole post-modern dilemma- if everything has been done before whats the point or is it just lack of imagination? Well, listeners- maybe its the post-post-post-modern times. We just exist in a forever sea of living information. Take what you will. Its all becoming virtually-pseudo free. The positive speculative outlook? Potent real-time conversations with yourself and the globe. And the cost? E-waste villages and biomagnification.

AMH 08/05/06

FRST FL RELEASE!

to kick things off on the "record label" end of this enterprise, we will be hand distributing our first release in cooperation with new century art:

these will be free at our upcoming house of tinnitus show, later to be distributed online.

look for more short run lo-fi releases in the next few months to kick things off for more high-profile expensive releases.

what you can expect by the end of the year:
an IDI*AMIN short-run improvised cdr
a new Violent Squid cdr
and a youaretheuniverse short-run release of some kind.
