Getting the track order of an album is hard. I keep moving things around, trying to find the sweet spot but I’ve got it now, it feels right and flows the way it should.

Side A: 21:07
Side B: 21:06

Didn’t plan that at all... it just happened. πŸ˜‚

weird fish, by boycalledcrow 4 track album

Walkin’ in the sprawl, the twisted metal man said,
β€œYou like to fish, boy?”
I said, I like to fish.
He is the metal man.
I am the bone machine.
I caught a big one.
Weird, funny lookin’.
I ate it whole.
It ate me back.
I disappeared.
I’m free, man.

I'm listening to this now, sounding cool man... got this kind of early morning prankster vibe, few cans cracked open, sun on your face, sweaty tent, few friends around, dreads, that warm glow on your skin, bit hoarse - you get me? Nice man, nice.

I’ve accidentally put an alien voice in one of my new tracks. Sounds exactly like the Disclosure Day trailer. πŸ‘½

His message really touched me, so please help if you can, or even just share it.

My mate Sachin and I have both sent some money to help him out, and if you can do the same it would be properly sound. Leigh’s just a normal dude who loves music and all kinds of other weirdness. I think he’s even played a few of my tracks over the years.

Wyrd Daze The ezine of speculative fiction + extraordinary music, art & writing.

Hi everyone, sorry I’ve been a bit quiet, there’s been a lot going on in my life.

Nothing musical from me today, but I wanted to share something important. I know someone called Leigh whose wife recently passed away. He’s disabled and has been left with almost nothing.

Dead Meadow, by Dead Meadow 9 track album

The opening riff on this album is hazy as fuck and drags me straight into a bog, surrounded by a platoon of dead bog bodies. Raw dog, totally fuckin’ class stuff.

This song gave me hope when I needed it most, it blew my mind in 2002. Cheers.

Some of the tunes on the new album have me feeling like this.

I like the weird shapes and bright colours // the spiky guitar, satanic drones, and jitteriness feel like a reflection of my nervous system. It kind of sounds like folk music from another dimension, like some tiny astral rainforest or something. I don’t know, I’m just talking shit, but I dig it.

//M E L O D Y_M A N, by boycalledcrow 14 track album

Not to be overly dramatic, but it takes me a few years to get over an album, lmfao. I usually just toss them into an imaginary drawer and try to forget about them. //M E L O D Y_M A N is probably the weirdest one I’ve made so far. It’s pretty odd and full of strange ideas.

Just a little sales pitch…
There are still a few cassettes available here:

It’d be amazing to break even on this one so I can put the funds towards the next record 😍

I can empathise, we had a similar situation today. The 2-year-old shat on the carpet, wiped it on his clothes and walked all over the place. It's still soaking, not the toddler.

I’ve poured so much into it I’m scared to get it mastered, scared to put it out. Limited cassette run. Sometime next year.
