The Meets - Sketch/Tempo Map for LP2

The Meets - Sketch/Tempo Map for LP2 (My Idea of Fun, 2011)

Purchase from My Idea of Fun or download free from Bandcamp

I first told you about the new record from The Meets back in October when a demo for the first 14 or so minutes was posted on 101. A few months removed we now find ourselves with the (thus far) finished product (another movement is still in the works). As for this however, Sketch/Tempo Map for LP2 is a Book and CD combo, the book is a "21 page book of hand-notated manuscript paper outlining music on provided CD." 13 individuals played a role in creating what you hear, with a variety of physical instruments. I'll throw a selection from the middle down below, 3 of the shortest pieces in the composition.

I Can't Get You Off -- Disc 4, Extended Play

In ever-so-proper fashion, The Hit and Miss Engines release their highly-anticipated debut with a staggeringly damn good looking 4 CD Box Set featuring a new full length, three brand new EP's and 4 personally chosen photos from each member of the band, which, much like in that Tech Ep post, almost all have new releases out in the past two weeks; Mike Miller, Emmy Volkar and Dan Oatman. It's an impressive release, when the My Idea of Fun Store opens up (soon) I'd suggest getting your hands on one before they run out, I mean, they're selling this whole thing for only 10 bucks and it sounds fantastic. What else would you expect, some seriously seasoned songwriters at the height of whats happening right now and in their most endearing form. Terrific.

The long-awaited full-length from Technological Epidemic is finally here, we first heard talk of it back in November and heard some of the first demos back in January with the Early 2011 Mix, so happy to finally hear the finished product, which I'll tell you sounds absolutely fantastic. The most coherent and cohesive of their work to date. The past two weeks have also seen personal releases from every single member of the band; Jacob Koestler, Dan Oatman, Matt Miller and Chris Bell who released his eleventh self-published novel entitled The Deflated Generation. It's no wonder Hollow Cost is so damn solid and focused.

Download for free or purchase the Book/CD combo pack from My Idea of Fun

The newest offering from Dan Oatman comes at the tail-end a beautifully hand-bound and personally designed book that according to Oatman is "companion guide to the work of the late Carl Reed who lived and wrote at the Saint Vincentian Monastery at Niagara University." The digital download consists of two tracks 20+ and 30+ minutes respectively and shows us that reliably sultry and at times melancholic Lennon/Harrison veneration that we've come to know and love with his work.

Red Benches is a project that was started back in '08 by The Hit and Miss Engines' Emmy Volkar. It features 17 tracks spanning the past 4 years and comes in a beautifully hand-made and personally designed package. The record really captures that disconnected and isolated vibe that was talked about last week on 101.

Video(s): Rollerblade - Blowin' W & World Series - Bolter

According to Beer On The Rug's Facebook page, Rollerblade is 'Casino Gardens + World Series' which rules because Casino Gardens just put out that great self-titled tape last month, and just this week World Series released Episodes of El Nino. There's a video from this new project called "BLOWIN' W" that you can watch right down below.

New Endless Mike and the Beagle Club record on deck???

This was on My Idea of Fun 101 today, the next to last post in a countdown to later today's Judgement Day release extravaganza (14 new releases to be exact) which will all be here on the page over the next few days. I've seen a handful of them and can say that they really look fantastic, I'm really excited and you should be too. In any case, I'll leave you with a repost of the post on from 101, it pretty much explains better than I'd be able to.

20 of 21: St. Paul

After Endless Mike & The Beagle Club released and heavily toured The Husky Tenor, Brandon recorded Mike performing the album in it's entirety by himself. The 2007 recording was released as MIoF#11: Endless Mike Vs. The Beagle Club.

Recorded two days before We Are Still At War, Endless Mike Vs. The Beagle Club Re-Match followed the album release 17 numbers later at MIoF#77.

Update: Round Three! Endless Mike Vs. The Beagle Club - St. Paul is recorded & performed by Mike Miller, outlining a new Beagle Club record.

Download and enjoy quickly before it all ends:

Uh - Music By Nobody: Songs by Magister Ludi

Uh - Music By Nobody: Songs by Magister Ludi (HOLY PAGE, 2011)

Free download from the Holy Page Bandcamp

Old music in a new collection from Tennessee's Uh, who has a great new record on deck that should be coming out here rather soon. I'll save my words for this one and leave it to what Holy Page's Christian Filardo had to say.

Uh is the project of Peter Evans out of Tennessee. The album we have for you features a collection of his works throughout high school. We take a journey through Evan's high school years and experience his virtuoso guitar style and then progress into his noisier atmospheric phase. All in all this collection is eventful and a trip to listen to all the way through.




Asian Women on the Telephone - ICanT

Asian Women on the Telephone - ICanT (RAIG, 2011)

Free download from Bandcamp or buy the CD-R from RAIG

I couldn't have been more excited when I found this in my inbox this morning, one of my favorite noise bands, Russia's Asian Women on the Telephone just came out with this 8-song 77-minute long masterpiece one week ago today. I can already say with confidence that this is their best record yet. The most cohesive, coherent and fucking groovy thing they've made yet. Do yourself the biggest favor, download it now and then hurry up and buy the CD-R which is limited to 100 with handmade cardboard artwork.



The Travelin' Javelin Band


19 of 21: The Travelin' Javelin Band 

Travelin' Javelin' Bands are events where many MIoF members get together to pull names from a hat and write a song in groups of 5 to 7. They usually go until about 3 in the morning, and take a long time to end up on My Idea of Fun, for some reason. This is the long lost first one. It went to Vermont with Brandon for a while, then got back to Matt, then to Jacob. Now to you. Listen for yourself if you were there, and let's do another one soon.

JngL BooK - "FACE!"

new music from COOLRUNNINGS & WALSH

Two new (demo) tracks out of the Dracula Horse universe. Found these two on the Dracula Horse Soundcloud earlier today.

The first is from COOLRUNNINGS, who put out that fantastic full length Dracula is Only The Beginning back in April.

  COOLRUNNINGS - FOOL MOON (DEMO) by DRACULA HORSE

The next is a new one from WALSH, who's KARAOKE was getting heavy play on the radio show back in the spring.

  WALSH - LANDING STRIP (WIP) by DRACULA HORSE

annnnddddd in case you missed this, there's this painfully appropriate video for the WALSH song "China White"

Video(s): 18+ - Scorpio/Nausea

Two more videos from the mysterious 18+. Really starting to cross the line between shameful Dead or Alive sexuality and downright creepiness. The first clip here "Scorpio" really pushes those boundaries, while the second "Nausea" is more like the first few looks we got from 18+, but's got that feeling when you realize you're minutes away from being more fucked up than everyone else in the room.

Hleger - Blood Rice & Live at Le Elbow Prison

Hleger - Blood Rice (2011)

Free direct download from Mount Athos

This one dropped back at the end of April and in my personal opinion, this is the very best Hleger yet. It features new music and old music (talk about old music - one of these tracks was recorded when he was only 3 years old) as well as a few from the early half of last decade. I can't stress to you enough that this is the best record outta Cape Town yet. Click that link up there.

Hleger - Live at Le Elbow Prison (HOLY PAGE, 2011)

Free download direct or through HOLY PAGE

Next up we have the newer and more chilled out Live at Le Elbow Prison which came out initially back on the 10th and then was picked up by HOLY PAGE for release on the 12th. Check out the alternative artwork:


Stoked to see Hleger working with HOLY PAGE, this is his latest and word in the tunnels is he'll be working on some videos next, we'll keep you posted on however that shapes up.

My Idea of Fun plays its part in Judgement Day






Johnstown, Pennsylvania's My Idea of Fun artist collective has been prepping an onslaught of new material and it's all coming out on Saturday, May 21st. Some tracks and records have been released in the past two weeks, I'll be highlighting those in a moment but to make things a bit easier, I'll share with you the official statement via the official Judgement Day Facebook page.


The world is ending!!! Tons of new releases!!!
http://myideaoffun.org/

May 21, 2011 has been declared as Judgement Day, so we're putting it all out before it's too late - over a dozen new releases, including the first albums by Higher Fives and The Hit and Miss Engines, new music from Narrow Berth, Technological Epidemic, and more. These and a handful of small-edition visual releases will all be made available in our new store, which will also go live on May 21.

Our blog (http://miofartistcollective.blogspot.com/) will also host 21 informative posts leading up to Judgment Day - everything from videos and new recordings to live sets and pictures.

We hope your last two weeks are full of love and good times. Swing by the site on May 21st to check out our new stuff - most of it is available to download for free!

For those who don't know, My Idea of Fun is a group of artists and musicians living in Western Pennsylvania (Well, most of us do). We put out records, books, and the like. Stop by our site if you haven't yet, and keep in touch.

Here's a look at some of what's been shared with those 'informative posts'

5 of 21: Rubber Necking Presents Two New Releases on My Idea of Fun

Functioning outside of the RUBBER NECKING universe--yet closely associated-- we have two new projects. One, a book by RN'r Jacob. Two, a cassette tape with RN'r Ian. Let's a have a look.

Jacob Koestler - Something in the Way, but Barely There (MIF180) [Visual]

"In Something in the Way, but Barely There (MIF180), Jacob Koestler cultivates natural images within a throng of newly unearthed specters. Through his skewed perception, distinct facets appear and fleet like rusty bits of iron one notices while plodding a gravel path."

Spanish Leather - Dilated Jewel (MIF181)

Free download from My Idea of Fun

"Spanish Leather's Dilated Jewel (MIF181) is an observation of rural pageantry, social implications of the Eucharist, and a microscopic assemblage latently constructed by falling slabs."

13 of 21: Narrow Berth

Narrow Berth - "Damp Coat" from the upcoming album Thirst

Damp Coat by IanRummell

8 of 21: Higher Fives Preview 



"Higher Fives are working on a new record called Cystems, which'll be ready just in time for the end of the world. Jacob Koestler shot the above video at the first recording session with Brandon Locher at VOMA in Johnstown, PA. He found the audio on his computer from an even older cassette demo that Matt Miller had him dub."

9 of 21: The State College Sessions

Technological Epidemic - The State College Sessions (My Idea of Fun, 2011)

Download for free Direct

"On Friday April 1st, 2011, Technological Epidemic practiced at the apartment above 709 Railroad Street for Penn State University's Annual Arts Crawl, occurring one week later. Despite the advent of modern social conventions and the good intentions of our peers and fellow musicians (well actually, not really), the sixty-dollar check for playing said event has yet to arrive in the mail. It is now with the deepest regard that we, My Idea of Fun, present you with Technological Epidemic: The State College Sessions. (Not to be confused with Emmett and Mary setlist in the binder for State College House Show June 2009, whereby we had every intention of playing "You Don't Know How It Feels" by Tom Petty out of the Trilogy, but never bothered to practice it.)"

SETLIST

1. A Formal Psychosis/Sell and Bait My Defeat (From Party Songs 1972)
2. Gray Days (From Hollow Cost)
3. The Kids on Linden Street (From Promotionally Yours EP)
4. A Sobering Son (From Promotionally Yours EP)
5. In Processing (Hollow Cost B-side)
6. A Cluttering Husband (From Promotionally Yours EP)
7. Red Meds (From Hollow Cost)

6 of 21: Dallas Zimmerman in Mid-Fi


"This is a song by Dallas Zimmerman. It was recorded in Mid-Fi (unlimited tracks on a Boss Loop Pedal) with Matt Miller while he was recording his full-length the same way. It was intended for a split with Laika the Astrohound which hasn't come to fruition yet."



12 of 21: Red Benches



Music vid for "I cut my leg off because I wanted to be a woman" by Red Benches.

"I started Red Benches the last summer I lived in Indiana because I had no friends and was really depressed. All I wanted was to be very honest and open in attempts to try not to hate myself anymore. This was in 2008. Red Benches was and will continue to be the name for the music I make by myself, if I should ever show anybody. It's hard for me to show it. But I want to now, so I'm going to.

Red Benches - "Where It Was When I Wanted It" will be released on May 21 of 2011 along with many great others.

It will contain recordings from:
SUMMER 2008
WINTER 2009
FALL 2010
SPRING 2011

There will be 5 copies on tape and 15 on cd and that is all that will be made.

Thank you for your time and efforts. I love you sincerely."

4 of 21: The Hank Williams Review

""The Johnny Cash Revue played at VOMA on the 2nd of April. I was already planning on going to see Marianne Locher kill it as June Carter. A few hours before the show, Laura told me that Marianne put a thing on her Facebook page saying their opening act (The Rugs) wouldn't be playing. I figured I'd never have a better opportunity to play a set full of Hank Williams songs, so I called Marianne and asked if I could play. As it turned out, they only needed about 15 minutes worth of stuff, so I picked three of my favorite Hank songs and went to town. It was a lot of fun. It probably won't ever happen again. Enjoy."

- Mike Miller

01. I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry
02. Lone Gone Lonesome Blues
03. I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive"

Free Direct download

2 of 21: NNN's Pabst Smear

Naughty Naughty Nurses - Pabst Smear (My Idea of Fun, 2007)

Free download from My Idea of Fun

"In 2007, Brandon went across the state to record one of the coolest, nicest bands we'd met. The band is called Naughty Naughty Nurses and the album is called Pabst Smear. We were really excited about the tracks when B-Man returned, so we immediately gave it a release number and put it on the site with a "coming soon" next to it. Soon after, the band parted ways for a bit, and more releases piled on top, leaving the link dead for three and a half years. In an effort to clean things up before Judgement Day, we've finally put the record up as an online release. It's totally worth the wait. We hope you like it!"


There's a shitton of stuff to check out, and it's not even the 21st yet. I'll keep posting stuff here on the page so noone has an excuse to fall behind. Also anticipate all of the new releases getting writeups right here. I'm stoked for what the next week's about to bring, you should be too.

Finally, if you haven't done this yet...

...change that.

Good Amount - Impulse Try / Waytansea Point - Al Nino

Good Amount - Impulse Try / Waytansea Point - Al Nino (HOLY PAGE, 2011)

Download for free or buy the tape at the HOLY PAGE Bandcamp

I told you a few weeks ago about the new Christian Filardo project Good Amount, well he's already got a full length put together for us and what rules is it's being released as a split cassette with AZ's Waytansea Point. It's a limited edition of 50 with handmade artwork, otherwise you can grab it online but these are moving pretty fast.

I'm gonna throw a song from each side down there for you.



Wayne Water - The Vulture

Wayne Water - The Vulture (2011)

name your price on the Bandcamp page

For months now, I've been sharing the A-Z project of Wayne Water, always hinting that something bigger was going to come of it. Well a few weeks ago he finally made it to the end and here it is. Clocking in at over an hour and twenty minutes, spanning 26 tracks, M. Bedouin aka BOY MTN presents us with the single most emotionally draining release of the year. Some serious downtrodden and introspective pieces in here, flowing perfectly from each song to the next and slowly but surely drawing you into a spiraling fractal of confusion and self-doubt. This is a really reflective and daring record, straight from the fucking sewer.

There's too much in here to share a selection, rather, I'm going to just post the introduction of the record, you'll be able to see what you're getting yourself into. We all feel this way at times.



Earlier this week, Pop Culture Shaman made a split video, yes a split video for the song "F" that segues into the song "Yesterdaze" from fellow Sewer Great Shisa, who's new record Memory is coming out on 05/29 through AMDISCS. Check this out. Next level of course.

Kent State - Spahn Ranch

Kent State - Spahn Ranch (2011)

Download Direct or on Soundcloud

Just got turned on to this one today by Ryan Brisini, who if I understand/remember correctly has been cooking up something with Arc's Troy Bugosh. But in any case, this is a new ep from a dude I know very little about, but was floored when I got to listen to it. 4 tracks, some of that summer in the garage stuff, you know. Well worth the look.

here's two tracks off of Spahn Ranch

  Kent State -  Time Crimes by Paranoidfutures

  Kent State - Crashing Satellites by Paranoidfutures 

White Rainbow - From Now On Let's: The Mixtape

White Rainbow - From Now On Let's: The Mixtape (2011)

Name your price on Bandcamp

Goddamn, do I love me some White Rainbow. Always diggin' what he's doing, with this new 'mixtape' I've got the perfect soundtrack for windows-down cruises through the suburban sprawl. 13 tracks on this one, shit goes on for what seems like hours. Brother's taken that new funk lean to a whole 'nother level. I'm gonna throw a few tracks down below, but do yourself a favor and grab the whole thing, put this one on at the party where people keep putting on Kid Rock and Usher songs.







ARC - II: The Future is Soon

ARC - II: The Future is Soon (My Idea of Fun, 2011)

Download for free at their Bandcamp page

I had been sharing the ARCumentary series for a while here on the page, the guys were nice enough to keep us all up to date with their writing and recording process with such grace. Well the record's done and I'm stoked on it, quite a departure from their first offering back in '09. This release will be part of My Idea of Fun's Judgement Day, which I'll be talking in detail about in a post a few above this one. Where will you be when the world ends?

Dig on a select few tracks down below

Lockbox - Subdivision Shaman

Lockbox - Subdivision Shaman (2011)

Download free from the new Lockbox Bandcamp

Something brand new from Lockbox, we've all become accustomed to a lot of bite-sized future-tasting controller beats, well with Subdivision Shaman we get our first taste of perhaps a new side of Mr. Monstre. This 16 minute track goes a few places but surely keeps it all up inside of that head of yours, put in your time down below.



Two weeks ago I shared with you 16 Daze, which has since seen a proper release through Fograttle. Go grab that, then check his Soundcloud for a few new tracks that've been posted up since we last met.

Nature's Kid - LOOPS 3

Nature's Kid - LOOPS3 (2011)

Download for free on Bandcamp

Newest offering from San Diego's Ryan Solomon aka Nature's Kid, this bite-sized baby's just enough to hold us over till his other project, DUDES finally releases the long-anticipated Narcissists Anonymous. Speaking of, check out this killer DUDES vid that dropped a few weeks ago, features Mr. Solomon duttin' himself up for a night at the brain carnival.

That hiatus is just about done..

So (before and) after my last RCRC radio show, this page was on a sort of hiatus. I've still been keeping up with the facebook page as well as constant connection and collaboration with the SEWER GREATS stable (shittttssss happeninnnn). But I am pleased to say that I'll be back on and up and on with RCRC once more here within this week. I'm gonna have posts up regarding a new Lockbox soundscape, that BOY MTN/Christian Church split on HOLY PAGE, the new ARC ep, the Good Amount full length, Wayne Water's 26-song epic The Vulture is finally finished, Some exclusive Sunflower Spectacle stuff as well as news regarding the new record, My Idea of Fun's explicit involvement with Judgement Day and 2, count 'em 2 new Hleger full lengths. Lot's more where that's all coming from, some news on new comps coming in the coming weeks, a new weekly feature on the site called "RCRC Radio" and that's not everything lined up. This summer rules. This year rules.

05/03/11 The Final RCRC

Tonite is a bittersweet night. I've been on the air on WCAL 91.9 fm since September of 2006, these five years have included some of the best experiences in my life and it's really hard to see it all come to and end.  But all things must come to an end and you can rest assured that this website and everything that goes along with it is going nowhere, tonite marks the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. It's been my honor to share music with you for the past five years. Because of that, I wanted to end my career on WCAL the only way I know how, I'm currently sharing with you my favorite tracks I've played on the air over the past five years and will for the next 12 hours. I'll be on the air sharing the most genre unspecific show that's ever hit the airwaves, take this all for what it is and realize the passion I have for what I've had the privilege to do for the past five years. As I write this we're about 7 songs into the 193-song night and I'll update this bonanza of a list as this long night wears on. Thank you, thank you so much.
