SAGA! …the story of a boy and his computer, was originally released in 2004.  Mr. Sidekick finally figured it was in his best interests to let his music be rereleased (it took some convincing). Upon being asked about the reissue: 

Wait, you? Seriousy? I mean, wha? Why? Youre a freaking loser and I don’t know why were even talking, poop-head. 

OH WELL, GO AHEAD LOSER-FACE, SEE IF I CARE. 

Okay then, green light. If you are looking for light-hearted, fun, naive electronic music, look no further.

Wil Dalton and I both did work as Americorps volunteers back from when I first moved to Austin. Wil is an interesting guy, a fabulous writer, and a hilarious performer. I clearly remember how much fun we had producing four of his songs. My absolute favorite song to do was I Got A Gun.

Aggression is a short album that explores themes like knifeplay, attempted suicides, allergies, and the public school system. The songs are set to the soundtrack of upbeat pop music crossed with analog and digital noise solos.

The beautiful cover for Aggression was created by David Hobizal. The Shikes also have a colorful website that’s worth 30 seconds of your time. My suggestion is to repeately hit the word “Colorize.” Many thanks to my good friend Mike Strosaker for helping me out with the site.

The Double Headed Seagulls: Slimline

$9.99

A noisy album, but ultimately human. Best for late nights when you have nothing else better to do than concoct and execute harmless pranks on other people.

I was indeed lucky enough to record Jesse Hester’s new record, but I was mistaken on the distribution. Good Records will be releasing Good To Be Glad, amongst others, on their singles label:

Three years ago, I was lucky enough to produce Jesse Hester’s new record. Now, it’s going to be available at Good Records, of Polyphonic Spree fame. Sweet.

Fantastic video of a thunderstorm captured and edited by David Hobizal which uses the final track on Slimline, by The Double Headed Seagulls.

Dave Wirth: I & II

$9.99

Recorded from 2005-2007. Both folky and noisy. Probably best for sunny days where you have time to kill and want to people-watch.
