Wait...

LP has been mastered and tracks have been fixed, thank you to Kevin Gebo. Please stay tuned for more information regarding obtaining a copy of the finished version. It will be a little while.

I would also like to add that I am taking part in the "Wild Wild West cassette tape comp" being put out by Galambis Records, and have also made a limited cover for the pre order copies. It is an ode to Burnt Hill in Heath, MA and one of its most famous ponderers. The song is taken from CT show of the tour with Justin Pigott and Peter Bonneman this summer, it is a version of "Crystalline Roses" off of the Observational Chymystry tape. The version features Zac on Flute and our friend Danny Gardella on both floor percussion and fiddle.

Preorder/order here... http://galambisrecords.webs.com go to releases...
other artists on the comp are Relics, SQRM, Vaccine, Dark Master, Gift Horse, Guilt Lust, The Offays, Mudlark, Yak Snot, Ampere, Dangur, Zac Johnson and the Yankee Entertainer, White Pressure, Low Character, and Justin Pigott with a special guest.

Breaks.

Sorry for the lack of updates, but I am currently at a stand still with writing for this musical project. I have been off in another sea altogether as of late, and have let some other projects come to the front for a while. I will try to keep updating this blog with various goings on relating to CR and the circles that encompass the project. I have been reading and making lots of drawings, and writing/working on some other musical projects and most importantly trying to balance teaching and life...

SQRM has a couple gigs coming up, 10/24 we are part of a two day noise fest at the eleven and we will be doing a special set featuring the legendary chris dooley on guitar/tapes/electronics (More info at the bottom of this message).

We have another show 11/6 with Iron Lung, Mind Eraser and Dry Hump in Boston.

I am going to be doing a special CR show for a friends record release, more info on that to come...
other things to stay tuned for the Western Mass Comp tape, Viper tape, Teeth tape, and a couple of other things.
