Blood on the streets in the town of New Orleans

About Me

"Cigarette Line Hold-Up Rag" recorded 1/25, Blue Block.
"The State Of," conceived and recorded in a half hour chunk of time right after midnight, 1/13. Guest starring a puppy named Bacon.
"Dinosaur," recorded 1/1/08 (at least I'm pretty sure, but I really can't remember, because sobriety is not par for the course) at Blue Block Studios, Freret Street, New Orleans.
All the rest of the songs up right now are on the "Eat it Like Breakfast/Love is the Bullet and I am the Gun" split with Patrick Callan on Field Recordings Records. Recorded at one go with no regard for personal health or public decency @ the Letterbox.
