The View After 4 Years

I’ve got a very special post for you, my two or three loyal readers (Hi Mom!). More work went into this post than any other post in the long and illustrious history of this web log. Granted, all the work was done between 1999 and 2001, but it’s all going to be here.

Four years ago I “released” an album called The View from August 13th, 2001. In total, I probably distributed about 20 copies, and now I offer this album on my website for the modest price of $6. In truth, I probably couldn’t give this shit away... but today, for you, I will.

The album’s broken into three zip files (good for Macs and PC’s), each containing five songs. They’re high-quality 192kbps Mp3 files, so I hope you’ve got a high-speed connection.

I have my favorites, but almost everyone seemed to like “Emote” the best. “Claw Peels” is probably the most fascinating, assuming you’re familiar with the Santo & Johnny song “Sleepwalk” (clawpeels/sleepwalk... get it?).

I hate disclaimers, but I should warn you that I wasn’t the producing genius that I am now. Some of the songs may sound a bit abrasive, and may delve well into cacophony. You’ll also hear some samples used in multiple songs. Tough.

All right, let’s do this...
