Awake and Asong: DETH(gate)(cat)PEOPLE

http://awakeasong.blogspot.com/2007/09/dethgatecatpeople.html

Wednesday, September 19, 2007. For anyone who was aware of the existence of this recording: I know that it is long overdue for a post and for that I am sorry. But here finally is the epic collaboration of Deth Gate and Cat People known as DETH PEOPLE! What we did was the two bands set up in two rooms in my house and with Jon Lynn conducting us, we improvised, sometimes able to hear the other band and sometimes not. Deth Gate = Stephen Zerbe on keys and stuff and Coley Brown on drums. I'll tell you later.

Awake and Asong: Ben Collins - Odds (2006-2010)

http://awakeasong.blogspot.com/2010/12/ben-collins-odds-2006-2010.html

Thursday, December 30, 2010. Ben Collins - Odds (2006-2010). Here is another archival record of mine. This one is cobbled together out of random tracks that I found in my itunes, which were all recorded for some reason or another, but all of which never found their way onto any other album. Encompassed here are a variety of styles including old standards of mine such as solo guitar and noise but also a few tracks featuring beats and keyboards. All music by Ben Collins.

Awake and Asong: Uncle Owen Aunt Beru - Black Seas (2008)

http://awakeasong.blogspot.com/2008/09/uncle-owen-aunt-beru-black-seas-2008.html

Wednesday, September 17, 2008. Uncle Owen Aunt Beru - Black Seas (2008). The last time I told you about Jessica's upcoming albums I mentioned the beat-driven BloodLionAngelHouse and the folk collage Daughter of Eve. Well both of those albums are being mixed and mastered at the moment, and soon they will be with us. As I'm sure I've said elsewhere, both of those records are incredible beautiful experiences. So while she's waiting for her two brilliant albums to be released, what does Jessica do? View my c...

Awake and Asong: Wesley Rose - Southern Elegance

http://awakeasong.blogspot.com/2008/05/just-letting-everyone-know-very-soon-i.html

Sunday, May 4, 2008. Wesley Rose - Southern Elegance. It seems like only yesterday I was watching fourteen year old Wesley flailing away to an out of tune Misfits cover at the high school talent show and now with the help of audio mulch. He is shredding my ears with this beauty. And like I said, it's his debut album! All of Wesley's titles sound like questions in a text-based adventure game:. Angelus wants to give you a footjob. Is this awesome (Y/N)? May 6, 2008 at 3:26 PM. May 6, 2008 at 8:07 PM. I tal...

Awake and Asong: The Mooninites - Experiment Station Road (2003)

http://awakeasong.blogspot.com/2009/12/mooninites-experiment-station-road-2003.html

Wednesday, December 9, 2009. The Mooninites - Experiment Station Road (2003). So we loaded up the cars and drove to Athens to meet Zach at the station and play. On the way there Travis rear-ended me, (I was driving Simon Sharp's car, which to this day has a trunk that doesn't operate correctly.) and when we after the cops came and left we saw that we had wrecked at the intersection of "Experiment Station Road", so later we named the record after that. So here it is, six years later and I think it's a pre...

Awake and Asong: Ben Collins & Zach Smola - Guitars and Loops

http://awakeasong.blogspot.com/2008/02/ben-collins-zach-smola-guitars-and.html

Friday, February 8, 2008. Ben Collins and Zach Smola - Guitars and Loops. I failed to mention in my previous posts that Zach Smola (of the mooninites) is also, and primarily, the front-dude of Telenovela. Who were voted fifth best unknown band of 2007 by NPR, ( check it out. It drones and stretches out in long noisy passages slowly evolving and changing. Fans of Robert Fripp, Growing, Rafael Toral, etc. will find these sounds familiar. 2 The Caveman and the Motorboat. February 19, 2008 at 3:15 AM.

Awake and Asong: Black Thirteen - BIRD light

http://awakeasong.blogspot.com/2010/03/black-thirteen-bird-light.html

Monday, March 8, 2010. Black Thirteen - BIRD light. It's been more than a year since my last Black Thirteen post. Which makes sense seeing how the band is on a pseudo-hiatus. However the group recorded so much during its active period that I am still in possession of a wealth of unheard material. One of the best and certainly most unusual pieces of forgotten B13 is this little record. Yrself now.) And those familiar with Black Thirteen's other records will probably notice the sometimes too-crisp aspe...
