"your source for extremely sporadic music from uh that guy"
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."
