tammar never knows

alt title : tammar-o was his name-o


My friends (and current/past co-workers) in Tammar (and can i say label mates? maybe...) have made a few of the tracks from their new full-length LP available for free, and it's all very good. Tammar is one of my favorite bands to see, and they're from right here in sunny bloomington. You may recognize singer Dave Walter from such Mike Adams at His Honest Weight hits as, "Bad Weather" (do you love me now / how can i know? / spirit's upstairs banging / hard on the wall / babysitter's in a ball on the kitchen floor / don't got a thing figured out / but can't believe in it all)

in other news, we finished mixing the brand new Bro. Stephen record "Baptist Girls" last night! it's going off to mastering later this week and should actually be released later this year. it's only been a year-and-a-half since we first started tracking that thing, and i'm glad it's about to see the light of day. brought to you by the same production team responsible for the huge blockbuster success of "Oscillate Wisely". it's got that adams/jessup sounds, you dig?

holy bees

if there's any credence to this...

...then this is my drug of choice, tonight


EDIT : : :
in light (no pun intended...) of new information, i should also tell you that this is my shoe of choice

in the time of chimpanzees i was a monkey and a monkey

this song is a great example of the kind of sweeping melody that i really love. it also utilizes the "song that never ends" style of unresolved interplay between the chorus and verses that leads one right into the other and seems like it could for eternity. i like that kind of song writing, and i like this song. so good!

oh, james.....
