long time no see internet.
various things are in the works.
fitness has a show in pomona at the da gallery on the 28th. see more info at our real website. it should be good.
i have a show in osaka on april 5th. you can likewise see more info at our real website. that should also hopefully be good.
will look something like this:
but only if you are suspended sideways or something. i guess you should consider drinking heavily if you want it to look at all similar. dxm or something crazy.

anyways, that show is with a whole lot of people and artists i like. namely Lemon's Chair. see video here:

in other news, magical mistakes/death by panda has a nine song album done spanning forty minutes. i am sitting on it before release, and am considering various available options regarding the medium it could potentially be distributed in. and i also have another 20-35 minute psychedelia/drum set put together for live performance. it's too different things though, and the sound/song writing is quite a bit different. the finished album is more pop/psych/electronic and the performance set is more steve reich meets anticon with more drums.

stuff that's been inspiring me lately: lemon's chair, watchman (ex-melt banana, also drummer of lemon's chair), various hip hop things introduced to me by my DJ friend Kawakami, beach boys, weird time signatures, drinking occasionally, getting nostalgic for the few things i miss about my life in southern california (they are few but important), the new animal collective release.
by the way that album is perfect beyond belief. i was kinda pissed it's so good since i was trying to make a nice sounding album in the midst of my hearing merriweather post pavillion for the first time. my non-verbal response was something along the lines of 'fucking christ why did they develop such a perfect aesthetic? now i have to try doing something else.'

in other news; here's an artist i am doing some work with. http://www.myspace.com/monsieurmatthew wolveskin would be the track. you'll hear music contributions from me. Matthew put some vocals and added some effects here and there. let me know what you think of the aesthetic. i'm putting more tracks together for this project in my spare time, and your input could affect where i take the aesthetic.

It has been an interesting time recently.



RG and I went to a Karaoke bar slash restaurant.



It had a great atmosphere, but a la carte is my worst enemy.

FITNESS has his show right here. you can listen by clicking here.

Labels: Fitness, Live, Mp3, Music

Well, Fitness was born from his mother's womb. He was born in Boulder, I think. If that's not true than I am taking artistic license, because I want to construct a narrative. So here it goes: a narrative about Fitness.
He listened to too much Kraftwerk, too much krautrock (maybe) and then he got into Stereolab. His obsession with Stereolab hasn't faded, but I tend to identify his music (fitness) with Kraftwerk. It's very motoric. His newest album is all the same tempo using the same (I'm pretty sure) 808 beats. They're very retro, although Fitness would never feel comfortable with me using the word retro. There is no objective understanding of music anyways, he would tell me.
Right now he's playing a show on KSPC. He's covering Show Room Dummies by Kraftwerk (WE ARE SHOW ROOM DUMMIES x 100). I'll post some photos of his performance shortly. We'll put an mp3 up too.

Speaking of mp3s of radio shows , I'll also put up a deathbypanda performance shortly. It's got some new songs no one has ever heard (except for the people who have heard it).

Fitness' set is about as minimal as art gets. Very minimal aesthetic. I can't even tell if he's blinking,
