(Fall 2007) the "good fight" began in '88 after feeling lost and thrown upon the waves of outrageous furtune and loosing sembelence of trust in his fellow man, and woman, bLANK sprung from the loins of need to express the subconscience and or creative id of r/ace. (see www.myspace.com/whoisblank)
The goal was simple "diversity" of style and content that screwed pop sonics to a wall of art & world musix.
(Winter 2008) I'm back with some mix downs of rough materials. I'm also in the process, slow as it may seem, of getting works together via my interactions with I.D. I've been discussing things with my good friend Mike of PAIL and Lynn from "When Girls Collide" about the new CD tentatively called
"I'm a spy". The hardest part I'm having is getting my head wrapped around actually making my musical ideas concrete after spending so much time in Art rock/jazz improv. Structure is now difficult.

I'm about ready to finally release my CD entitled "Patina" referring to any fading, darkening or other signs of age, which are felt to be natural and/or unavoidable. Check out the art-work for the cover by Natalie ( see www.nataliestarnes.com/arthistory.htm ) in my pictures folder. I think its amazing.
It should be for sale at CDFuse and local stores here in Austin by end of July.
