what meds do you take? you're goddamn hyperproductive. i've never gotten shit done in my life.

PILLS. PILLS. GIMME.

i'm just trying to be fassbinder and godard.. combined.

Lack of quality control?

I'm joking of course.

JOLT!

Robe. has a release coming out on WAVES OF DECAY called NIGHT TERRORS. It's a new label, that is putting out outerspace, skin graft, demonologists, and some other cool shit.

Robe. is releasing FORSAKEN on NOISE NOT MUSIC.

Robe. is releasing HEAVY REBIRTH on KNIFE IN THE TOASTER records.

Robe./UUUUUU split coming out on DREAM ROOT RECORDINGS.

Robe. studio album coming out on a big label. More info later.

demonologists played at my friends space the bunk spot, are they from indiana?

Hey buddy, you mentioned being really into Gridlock (maybe a while back?)
Could you possibly recommend anything similar in terms of the perfect synchronicity they manage to create between ambience and interesting but sometimes grinding sounds? You mentioned Photek in the same sentence but I dont care much for him.

You don't care for Modus Operandi by Photek? Maybe you should re-listen! That's the best album ever! And honestly, Photek kinda stands alone in his dark ambience mixed with the beats. Though really all d'n'b has it a bit (and I know Gridlock isn't really d'n'b but..). Not can top Photek in that particular area imo. Maybe you'd like Technical Itch then?

But yeah Gridlock rules, try his side project Dryft.

As far as darker techno in general goes, Leo Anibaldi is my favorite. Get "Aeons".

Heh, actually it's the fact that I am so completely tired of d n b that I couldnt get Photek. I just....I just need a cool-down time. Give me 5 years.

Thank you Adam, I'll let you know what I think of Dryft, a very logical step, and of Aeons.

hey, alteredcourse, get scuba - triangulations.

that's a really good one, dark atmospheres and cool machine beats.

hayden and others, if you missed it elsewhere

here's the new shock album
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=J8FEPZCU

it's got a heavy rock in opposition vibe. I like to describe it as beefheart and the residents and sun city girls collaborating in 1997 with a 303 or something. features tons of xylophones, marimbas, trumpets, trombones, saxes, synth explosions, acoustic guitar tinkerings, and more. the title track took 2 years to write. it's a pretty nutso album. an official copy will be out soon. but i want my sy gossip friends to have it.

sounds samples at http://www.myspace.com/scissorshock and http://www.last.fm/music/Scissor+Shock

and the ROBE./UUUUUU split will be coming out on dream root. we recently spent HOURS in a recording studio; we have enough material for 3 studio albums...

here's currently untitled for those who don't have it .. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5PA63V2E

cuz i'll be doing new film exploding head soon

Best Shock album yet? I reckon so.

A damning praise!

Haha!

I haven't had the chance to unzip it until now. Will give immediate listen.

Robe. music video.

We shot parts of this on film, with the camera Lynch used to film Eraserhead..

Adam, you've outdone yourself with this one, and I mean that in the best way possible. I've been too old to be able to put on any of your albums unless i'm completely fried out on something in a while but this is just gold.

The title track is one of the best things I've heard this year. It's what I'd hoped Eric Copeland's solo shit to sound like yet still undeniably scissor shock.

thanks man I really appreciate it!

Feel free to spread it around as much as you want, blogs or friends or whatever, I don't care.

asp, maybe you would like to reply to that :

(it's not me btw)

How could I reply?
Haha.

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/alb...xistentialism/

vampires feed on one note simplicity schemes salivating in the ambient polaroid afterglow of an undilated fragmented lifeless pixelation, distilled dystopian nemesis neglect.

adam, I'm asking you because I think you'll know this one...but have you seen a Japanese movie about highschool girls who some of which are prostitutes and then there are these two other doods who wish to rid the streets of the hookers and then decide to fuck them without paying them? I remember one dood gets his ass kicked n stuff...or somethin'. I forget.

haa uhhh..

Every Japanese movie ever.

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm..ATSONCINTOPARKS

i think I remember you saying you had the Shaye St. John DVD.? is that correct? Is there anyway you can upload it or something? I'd like to watch it.

i put it up on cg a while back, it's probably still seeded. it's a 7gb dvd, i shrunk down to 4.7gb to fit on one disc. so it's not an easy upload/takes up a lot of space. my advice is to try to purchase it, though it's probably oop. but it's going to be worth a lot of money one day since mr. fournier has sadly passed away. so if you don't get it soon, it'll just end up going for more i;'m sure...

highly reccomended dvd either way. enjoy!!

Yeah...I remember asking you about him. and well....Is it a collection of all his youtube videos? I'm sure there's probably bonus material.....either way. I'm gonna try to grab myself a copy.

oh yeah...and Thansk!

It's, well.. everything.


So, I'm releasing a guitar only split with brandon from interstates etc. So for all 2 of you into my guitar playing, it's completely devoid of any of the other insane shit on my other albums. I did a mini guitar only tour until my grandpa got really sick.

This particular release is one 28 minute track of guitar and a few effects pedals completely unedited. It's sorta like a more atonal and less talented SALVADOR KALI (which is in my top 10 albums ever).

I recently got a new acoustic guitar and have been writing stuff you could probably call "American guitar primitive" haha. I am planning on doing a good 40 ish minute of acoustic guitar only stuff.

we got a new trombone player for robe., a female. she is also a very amazing piano player. the new robe. stuff is very very weird. we spent around 10-15 hours in the studio. we're still in talks with the guy, so I don't want to reveal too much yet, but it'll be released in an edition of 200-300 copies. It's very very strange stuff, completely different than anything else we've done.

anyway, thanks to everyone for the support! got some surprises for everyone. whee.

One more thing, that doc I've been wnating to do on the shock? Well, I was approached by a guy name mike and he is going to do the doc for me to commemorate 10 years of the shock. I am helping him with the supplying of live footage and stuff but the bulk of the movie will be an hour long interview. He said he wants to ask me things that hae never been asked before.

awesome dood!

American Guitar Primitive....some Fahey-like stuff?

sorta.

but way faster!

someone just showed me this

Adam Cooley, Currently Untitled
He takes us in to a world of sound and human experience, where things overlap and happen so slowly and so quickly, so randomly and yet so sequential… It’s a movie of the weirdness that can’t be described except in weirdness. It’s absurd but it reiterates the idea that, hey everything is absurd.

whoo. thanks... whoever these people are!

freehandjobs is Hayden, yo.

Oh! Thanks!

Hey Derke, got your package, THAT DRAWING MADE MY DAY!!!!!!!!!!!! Hahaha!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my god. Coolest drawing ever. I wish I had a scanner. Maybe I'll take a picture of it later. Rad as FUCK!

All the other stuff you sent was essential too. Obviously I've listened to the cd a thousand times by now, I put it on for a few weeks straight when I went to sleep, or when on s h r o o m s or whatever I was doing.

But that drawing! Fuck yeah! THAT DRAWING!

Ahahahaha glad you like!

Adam, how would I get a hold of you directly? Do you check your hotmail address much?

I don't need to contact you for anything, I'm just wondering haha.
