new stuff old stuff

2011-10-07T11:10:00.001-07:00

theres a new golden dwarves album on my bandcamp:

golden dwarves - settling

in the past I had all my stuff up on mediafire for free, and which you could download through this blog. i've decided to take the links down, and started pricing my music on bandcamp. $2 an album, $1 a song. pretty low. not a huge demand anyway. never gonnapay my rent like this. who am i kidding. anyway, its up there on bandcamp so go buy stuff if you feel it. thanks.

my stuff on bandcamp

prefer making sounds for sounds sake of making.
maybe shit soon.
thanks.

brando skirts - bad light

2010-12-17T22:30:00.000-08:00

I recently posted about my super talented friend Carter and his boy Mike of Brando Skirts.
They now dropped their motherfucking album. and its free. seriously.
I personally think music this well crafted should not be free, so do yourself a favor and head over to their site and grab that shit. while you there, donate a piece. this album is straight up outrageous.
