i feel like talking about myself..
..but i suppose that's entire point of a blog, in a way. heh.
summer's here in full force these days... every day feels like 100 degrees. my longing for autumn is at a feverpitch. really, i just want orange leaves and a cool breeze... i don't feel like it's too much to ask for.
since i love talking about myself, i'm excited to say that alligator crystal moth, my cross-oceanic project with michael donnelly of brothers of the occult sisterhood, terracid, 6majik9, etc, is about to be excavated and exposed. we've been recording like mad (we have over 2 1/2 hours of material currently). our first release will be a foxglove cd-r, entitled "magic swamp kingdom." it's going to have seven tracks: 1. mother stars / 2. and the ocean becomes the altar / 3. flying the midnight dragon / 4. blue pariah / 5. sunspots amongst the ruins / 6. may alltonia minor / 7. kerosene hat (by cracker)
ah, i'm excited. we also have another album called "spectral lysergics" that we're hoping to get released on CD or LP. any interested parties should email me. and those of you wondering what ACM sounds like... fuck, i don't know. psychedelic swamp music or something. it definitely is very much what you might imagine a combination of michael and i's various solo projects would sound like. i'm convinced michael d isn't human.
anyway, something unrelated to ACM. has anyone else heard all these LPs from back in the '80s that loren mazzacane connors and kath bloom did? i recently unearthed these gems and can't believe that no effort to reissue these has happened (well, maybe unsuccessful efforts have gone down, i don't know). i could listen to this shit for hours. i don't care if it all sounds the same.
some samples (as requested) - both tracks from "spectral lysergics":
alligator crystal moth "python"
alligator crystal moth "fuschia waves in the golden sun"

oh my... how many projects. heh. there's a ton. :)
right now... there's the north sea (solo), corsican paintbrush (w/ eden), eastern fox squirrels (w/ eden & robert horton), the golden oaks (w/ keith wood), sea-turtle legions (w/ james blackshaw), as-yet-unnamed (w/ peter wright), autumn galaxy (w/ ville moskiitto), & oxblood reincarnations (w/ brad dixon). a few non-active projects (at the moment anyway) - the juniper meadows, sunmilk, & the greenlanders. and then there's a one-time rameses iii & the north sea album completed. and i'm starting up something new with cja. heh. so yeah.
god, i'm insane. ;)

are the juniper meadows off?
this 'a forest of lights' album sounds extremely good...

not really off completely, just taking a bit of a break. the sister-album to 'a forest of lights,' entitled 'jacaranda twilight,' should be out on deserted village soon. i hope we'll do some more recording in the fall, though.

Kath Bloom - I love her, shes amazing! I got a hold of 3 or 4 of her and LMCs albums and theyre all wonderful. her voice is so clear, its a bit like josephine fosters, who i also love, except way better, and lmc in the background is perfect. i much prefer his early acoustic stuff. kath still plays and records i think - http://www.kathbloom.com - brad, i think you should interview her for foxy!

interesting stuff... there's so much stuff oozing out all over the place (and from all over the place) it's getting overwhelming... and people moan that there's no big scenes in music at the moment!
We need some kinda definitive (yeah, I know...) set of sampler CDs to help everyone (me included) wade through the murk and work out what to spend and what to look out for...
I reckon you could be the man... do you have any plans to release an overview sampler (other than the usual label samplers that whizz around from time to time?)

actually... we've just put the finishing touches on a massive 3CD compilation entitled "gold leaf branches." hope to have it out in the next 4-6 weeks.
there is so much floating around that it's hard to keep up - agreed. it's one reason i made the compilation so expansive. anyway, there's more info (including the artist list):
here.

oh-oh. Impressive tracklist, brad.
will the songs be previously unreleased tracks? Can't wait to order that one!!
At 2:25 PM,
Brad Rose said…
all the tracks are previously unreleased. err, all but one (the marissa nadler track...). taking pre-orders on it now (at a slight discount from what the regular price will be) for those interested... just email me. :)
