THE LOSS
FOUNDATION| 2008 | This
website semi-restored for the first time in 4.5 years. What
better date in which to re-bring the funk than 8/08? I've been saying
for years that I just need to get around to putting up a CMS. Eventually I
realized that putting up nice web sites is for people who still enjoy
making nice web sites. Super-straight HTML it is for now. Better to
have something up than nothing, and I'll shamelessly pretend to be
validated in my "design" choices by the continued success of Craigslist
and/or
because the 90s are supposedly about to get their due in retro-fashion
circles. big news! Quelle Fromage - Economy EP - first new official QF material in seven years and worth every minute of the wait. Take a listen to it and/or download it here. Mastered some new stuff this spring for a certain friend from Las Vegas (warning: Myspace ahead :( :( :( :( ) for the first time in many a year! Noisily covered Madonna's "Borderline" in a single very hurried morning for no particular reason. There's a hurried video, also, also for no particular reason. |
| 2007 | Work began on DRIPPING, SOPPING: A
SATURATION CELEBRATION's debut EP on February 25, 2007 and had to
temporarily conclude February 28, 2007; you can hear the six
completed tracks here. Someday soon I swear I'll spend three
more days and finish the rest. I was sort of hoping to have them done
sixteen months ago, but there you are. An even more ridiculous but still fun album-length cover of J. Timberlake's FUTURESEX/LOVESOUNDS of 2006, my rendition(s) recorded and released 9/07. This really runs the stylistic gamut-- no genre is safe from being destroyed in the name of destroying J. Timberlake-- and you just won't believe what twenty minutes, one built-in laptop mic and a lot of liquor can do. The seriously algorithmic foundation is laid for serial-prog-math-pop outfit UNICORNS ARE REAL AND THEY CAN ALSO BE VAMPIRES in November 2007. Expect an EP in summer 2009. Still auditioning vocalists. Ability to hit F#7 and/or documented, polysyllabic interest in gnomes a plus. |
| 2006 | I don't remember actually starting or
finishing any actual, like, records in 2006. I'll put them here if I
remember any. Odd, since I'm pretty
sure I bought a few instruments or something that year. |
| 2005 | Very proud to have had the fortune to
master
and even briefly play
drums via remote (ain't modern technology somethin'!) on the
Rhombus's absolutely wonderful Margins
record.
TECHNO TRAIN doof doof doof EP recorded 12/05 (not publicly available) |
| 2004 | as DJ n-wee: The Slack Album (not-exactly-a-mashup
of Jay-Z's The Black
Album + Pavement's Slanted
and Enchanted) was recorded March and April 2004 and
released 4/22/04 to mild mayhem, some acclaim.
Now
available again "officially" for the first time in two years
(Godaddy prematurely sold my ass out to the domain-spammer-man in early
2006; do not give Godaddy your money, ever). Due to inwardly-directed anger at slow pace of creative output, lossfoundation.com "temporarily" taken down in 3/04. |
| 2003 | Began work on Aprosody followup for the
second time. Only 1.75 songs completed, including the new "Loss
of Sangria," before boredom and depression set in. A few great new Squid Int'l demos recorded on my own but, sadly, never fleshed out. Mysteriously, one of the demos ended up with a video. |
| 2002 | Aprosody followup album in progress is
pretty much entirely eaten by a hard drive crash fall 2002. Only one
very rough and very noisy mix
survived the crash. Did manage to finish a rather grating one-off song earlier in the fall season as Aprosody for the My Malady compilation, called "Yes I Had Gallstones." |
| 2001 | Recorded and released Quelle Fromage's
debut, the Le Monde du Fromage
EP. Mastered the one and only nationally-released Sucka MCs album for, oh gosh, it was the label Pinback used to be on. They might still be, I don't really know. Oh yeah, now I remember, it was Ace-Fu. Exciting times. Started working on Aprosody followup album, code name Disassembly. This was not to come to pass. Managed to spectacularly wreck my entire personal life beginning 5/01. Sordid recovery still in progress. Spent two hours recording with former Carwax King collaborator P. Huckelberry, this time as Squid Int'l. The IPOEP of December 2001, heard by two other people (and probably deserving of no more!), was the result. |
| 2000 | The Loss Foundation Recording Co., an unabashed vanity label
/ Internet haven for this person who wanted to pretend they were a
whole bunch of different bands while simultaneously remaining
anonymous, was halfassedly founded in the spring of 2000. Recorded and released Aprosody's Ignition Etudes as the first formal Loss Foundation release, August 2000. Soon to be reissued, or whatever you call it when someone finds the CD-R that has the files and FTPs them back up. Here's the "single." |
