yeah, i always just kinda thought sonic youth really respected jim, but in the few interviews i've read.. well, he hasn't said much (if anything) while with them and they hardly have ever mentioned him. very weird.
i made art for the tape tonight. i'm surprised (maybe not) about how many people want to buy the tape off of me rather than the cd.. it actually makes me kinda happy.
uhh.. lemme think.. i'm pretty sure kyle (bass player) is ordering some copies.. but i'm kinda thinking he's only ordering a few since he doesn't have a job.. and i think he's giving those to this music store in bloomington.. he has to pay $8 for the copies, which is the same as anyone else buying them from black horizons... i'm PRETTY SURE. i'll find out for sure, but i remember him not getting free copies (except a few for the other band members.. but he hasn't even given me a copy yet!) and not getting a discount since vinyl's expensive!... i did hear the test pressing, and it was GREAT! the warmth side is amazing! the robe. side is okay, we sent a kinda crappy song in for it and then we sent a better song and for some reason, through some error, the crappier of the two songs is on the vinyl instead of the better song!! haha. oh well. the "better song" ended up being on the jktapes release.
so yeah, i'll see what's up, but it'd probably be better to buy it directly from black horizons if you can. of course, i can upload it in mp3 if you want to hear it that way or even send you a burnt copy.
robe.'s on sort of a hiatus, because i wanted to focus on some new scissor shock stuff and in the meantime kyle's been recording like all this solo stuff and releasing it as "robe", which kinda.. well, some of it's cool, but when i told him he could do that i thought he'd release like 1 or 2 things and he's done probably 10 releases that me and booe aren't even on (though he has taken bits of our playing and used them for the songs, there are still a few releases i haven't even heard, and what i have heard doesn't compare to all of us working together). so, yeah, things are kinda weird with all that right now, but on the bright side, all the stuff he's been doing are just for little ep's and splits and not any huge releases, and i'm going to talk to him about it soon.. he's been working on a film that we did the music to and it's really cool and i'm really excited about that more than anything. it's just this crazy dark film and it may be the first true "Doom" film, and that idea excites me a lot.
haha funny how we're the only ones on this thread and it now has nothing to do with the subject.
