About Me

New Kelp website: click here to go to the KELP Lunacy Advanced Plagiarism Society You who are signed up for KELP fear not, the service is back in action with new issue "In Return of Ghost Country." In these recordings the influence of Japanese master of mistakes Tori Kudo is uncontrolled . Here on this page is a track from this "Scan Around the World"--you can hear melodies borrowed from Kudo in this track if you listen close.
Soon all KELP and other albums of mine will be up and available to download and listen to c/o the Connextion (out of Anacortes, WA!). They will be posted here on this page as well as the Kelp page. I am posting these in the blogs here above.
Also above here is "A Song for Henry Darger" written by Tony Presley and recorded for the Real Live Tigers tribute album "Life is Easy." You can purchase that CD here .
"Song for Kevin" is for my cousin the artist Coamhim, whom I've been singing songs of at my shows--the hip-hop inspired songs that I beat box and sing a capella to --"Let it All Out" and "Chasing Shadows" mostly. You can listen to his amazing songs here:

"Nothing New" is the first song I recorded in my stay in Maspeth, Queens this last winter.. Check out the video here.

Keep your ears open, the Tom T. Hall track "That's How I Got to Memphis" will most likely be available on 7" via K records this spring. The test pressing is OK'd so it should be ready by What the Heckfest. Please enjoy the track "Forest" as it is the B side to the Memphis single. Recorded by Tucker Martine's band Mount Analog, "Forest" is based on a brazilian tune... more info soon
