The album is now in <a href="http://www.thecontrarianmedia.com/">Casey-Rae Hunter's</a> talented hands for final mastering.<br /><br />I'm very happy with the album, which should appeal to fans of doom, dark ambient, free improv, drone, psych, harsh noise (look for a guest appearance by <a href="http://www.grimeology.com/asnakeinthegarden/">A Snake in the Garden</a>) and other forms of dark experimental music. While it's very eclectic in its style, the album as a whole maintains a unique & consistent aesthetic. Expect a physical release on <a href="http://www.aethereverywhere.com/">Aether Everywhere </a>sometime in early spring, along with a CD release show somewhere in Burlington.<div class="blogger-post-footer">Music & Movie Musings From Burlington, VT</div>jayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03801044842106374486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37755009.post-45309560650561173792008-11-24T18:10:00.003-05:002008-11-24T18:16:07.448-05:00<span style="font-weight: bold;">AETHER EVERYWHERE PRESENTS: A KRANKY LABEL SHOWCASE</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4z8TfbKgxzE/SSs0_tsJQlI/AAAAAAAABDY/xNqKDsmt5f0/s1600-h/AE_Kranky_4kinkos.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 207px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4z8TfbKgxzE/SSs0_tsJQlI/AAAAAAAABDY/xNqKDsmt5f0/s320/AE_Kranky_4kinkos.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272366057968452178" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Come join us for a great night of indie & experimental music as Kranky Records recording artists, <a href="www.ticktick.org">Tick Tick</a> and <a href="http://www.aethereverywhere.com">Aether Everywhere</a> join forces for the first time!<br /><br />-------------------------------------------------------------<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Aether Everywhere presents:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">A Kranky Label Showcase featuring:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">To Kill A Petty Bourgeoisie</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">(http://www.kranky.net/artists/tkapb.html)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Boduf Songs</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">(http://www.kranky.net/artists/bodufsongs.html)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ben Vida (Bird Show) & Greg Davis</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">(http://www.kranky.net/artists/birdshow.html)</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">(http://www.kranky.net/artists/davisg.html)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Saturday, November 29th 2008</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">8pm</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">$8</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">at The Bakery</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">(near n. winooski & archibald in the old north end)</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Burlington VT</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">"Kranky Records, based in Chicago, Illinois, has been one of the leading providers of experimental music contributions in the United States since late 1993 (with the release of Labradford's Prazision LP), and ever since, it has united listeners with a community of artists committed to pursuing the ever-evolving left-field musical landscape— far beyond the structural limits of indie rock.

I have just viewed </span><br /><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">your blog with Bruce Conner's LOOKING FOR MUSHROOMS available for </span><br /><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">download, which must be removed immediately.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">I understand this was posted as an homage and an effort to share his </span><br /><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">work, however, Bruce Conner was strictly opposed to ever having his </span><br /><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">work on the internet. He felt It destroyed his aesthetics, the </span><br /><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;" class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1223740470_1">image quality</span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">, and the experience of the work itself. This is not an </span><br /><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">appropriate way to revere Bruce Conner. Due to this clear violation </span><br /><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">of copyright, this is an order to cease and desist. If this is not </span><br /><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">addressed immediately, the Conner Family will pursue further action to </span><br /><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">have this removed. I have informed the Kohn Gallery of the intent </span><br /><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">for illegal duplication of the DVD which they have produced of </span><br /><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">CROSSROADS and LOOKING FOR MUSHROOMS.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Please remove all contents of this page and any reference to this </span><br /><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">material.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Regards,</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Michelle Silva, on behalf of Jean Conner</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">The Conner Family Trust</span><br /><br />My first response, as with any request I've received from an artist or representative, was to remove the offending material immediately as requested. In the past I've had no issues with the methods used in bringing the objection to my attention, but the threatening tone of this one along with some idiotic reasoning just made me need to address this.<br /><br />This is a perfect example of why experimental film is now a dead genre. The egos, greed and uber-formalism of people like Conner, Brakhage and others of their generation resulted in comments like this:<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Bruce Conner was strictly opposed to ever having his </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">work on the internet. He felt It destroyed his aesthetics, the </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;" class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1223740470_1">image quality</span><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">, and the experience of the work itself.</span><br /><br /></span>Bullshit. You can't experience art in a vacuum, and these idiots destroyed any possibility of future audiences appreciating their work. First it was "oh, my films are meant to be watched on film only, never video". Well, guess what--Kodak isn't even going to be making film stock to make prints pretty soon. Then some gallery throws a bunch of money and faux-prestige their way, and suddenly it's ok to show your work on video. As long as you can charge $40 a copy for two short films.<br /><br />Oh and, hate to break it to you, but soon EVERYTHING WILL BE DIGITAL AND ON COMPUTERS. Film is dead, video is on its way out. Deal with it, evolve, or the works of people like Bruce Conner will be forgotten.<br /><br />It's this neophobia and unwillingness to embrace future technologies that killed experimental film as a viable art form and there's no reason for it. Art is about sharing, growing, trying new things (it is called "experimental" film after all....) and attitudes like this are what stiffle and kill creativity and what will make works like "Looking For Mushrooms" eventually obsolete except to the elitists. It's a damn shame.<span style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer">Music & Movie Musings From Burlington, VT</div>jayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03801044842106374486noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37755009.post-4259410368321756982008-08-29T08:37:00.003-04:002008-08-29T08:40:11.923-04:00<span style="font-weight:bold;">VON COSEL/SOLAH/GROVEL - SATURDAY SEPT 20TH</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4z8TfbKgxzE/SLfreUkCrrI/AAAAAAAAAvc/SWvN6tUFo-w/s1600-h/voncoselsolahgrovel.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4z8TfbKgxzE/SLfreUkCrrI/AAAAAAAAAvc/SWvN6tUFo-w/s400/voncoselsolahgrovel.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239915597617344178" /></a><br /><br />Yours truly will be performing in two of my musical projects, <a href="http://voncoseltheband.blogspot.com">Von Cosel</a> and <a href="http://solahtheband.blogspot.com">Solah</a>, on Saturday, September 20th at the Radio Bean in Burlington.

While I didn't develop it, I am responsible for nearly 1/3 of the total site lifetime posts and probably started half of the threads, so I feel pretty close to it. More importantly, all of my friends in the local music scene post there, so it definitely feels like more of a community discourse, rather than here where I'm just preaching to you in a monologue.<br /><br />So is Spitting Out Teeth dead? Well, in the form that you knew it before, yes. I probably won't be updating the site regularly, maybe just to cross-post my blog entries from Aether Everywhere. <br /><br />But who knows, maybe I'll reimagine this site a bit. For now, I might just dedicate it to listing playlists and podcasts from the Spitting Out Teeth Radio show on <a href="http://www.theradiator.org">The Radiator</a> (every Saturday from 7-8pm; tune in!). I've also thought about transitioning it into an album download site a la <a href="http://bloodistruth.blogspot.com">Blood is Truth</a> or <a href="http://deletedscenesforgottendreams.blogspot.com">Deleted Scenes, Forgotten Dreams</a>. Or maybe even go back to my first love & just offer direct downloads of art-house & experimental cinema.<br /><br />The possibilities are endless, and I could really use your help in deciding what to do. If you have an opinion, feel free to leave a comment or e-mail me at spittingoutteeth@gmail.com if you don't want it made public. The decision is yours people (well, it's really mine, but obviously I'll take your opinion into consideration).<br /><br />Thanks again for your loyal readership over the past couple of years. Help determine the future of Spitting Out Teeth!<div class="blogger-post-footer">Music & Movie Musings From Burlington, VT</div>jayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03801044842106374486noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37755009.post-28508003728515418852008-06-07T15:33:00.002-04:002008-06-07T15:35:15.772-04:00<span style="font-weight:bold;">EXPERIMENTAL CAT MUSICIAN

I'm just lounging around the house, killing time before my radio show tonight. I'm in one of those frazzled mindsets where I can't decide what I want to do. I start watching a movie, then discover I don't have the attention span to watch it & I turn it off. Pick up my guitar, play a couple riffs, think about hooking up my gear to do some recording, but don't have the initiative. Oh well, I deserve a day to be lazy.<br /><br />Just got in from outside; it's a bit cold & dismal, but I kind of like days like that. Sat on my porch, smoked a cigar, watched the birds & squirrels chase each other around in the woods. No thoughts in my head; just enjoying the cool air & the free, wonderful ambient sounds of nature. Really makes me want to buy a nice field recorder; maybe I can do a solo project for <a href="http://www.aethereverywhere.com/">Tanner and Josh's new label</a>.<br /><br />Now, now; don't get too ambitious. It's a Sunday-like Saturday; just kick back and enjoy it.<div class="blogger-post-footer">Music & Movie Musings From Burlington, VT</div>jayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03801044842106374486noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37755009.post-28586987222844462222008-04-22T21:00:00.003-04:002008-04-22T21:07:06.786-04:00<span style="font-weight: bold;">MEGAFAUN - GREG DAVIS -OAK @ MONKEY HOUSE 5.2.08</span><br /><br />Greg Davis has organized a show at the Monkey House on Friday, May 2nd featuring Megafaun (whom you'll remember from the Akron/Family show at Metronome), Oak and a set by Greg himself.

Boo hoo emo crap.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">4) I have an awesome new radio show. On </span><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.theradiator.org/">105.9 The Radiator</a><span style="font-weight: bold;">. The name sake of this blog. Tune in.</span><br /><br />Otherwise, I'm just lazy. I haven't seen many shows lately & my radio show has been the best outlet to express my current musical interests. So.....what am I saying? <a href="http://highgatecenter.blogspot.com/">Am I pulling a "Tanner"</a>? Or am I playing Web Catholic performing a virtual guilt-catalyzed confession? Or am I just filling space and wasting bandwidth?<br /><br />A little of all of them I guess. But I feel guilty obviously, considering I'm writing this post. So I intend to try to make this blog a priority again, so expect some interesting, well-considered posts over the next few months. Well, better than this one at least...<div class="blogger-post-footer">Music & Movie Musings From Burlington, VT</div>jayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03801044842106374486noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37755009.post-58223339195972462592008-03-26T19:55:00.003-04:002008-03-26T20:04:33.621-04:00<span style="font-weight: bold;">BIG DOG</span><br /><br />Ok, maybe this is just the absolute proof that I'm a complete geek for anything new & techy....but everyone else I have shown this to thinks it's cool as well. DARPA is currently working in collaboration with Boston Dynamics to develop a robotic "pack mule". Wow, big deal, right? It gets better.<br /><br />The robot, nicknamed "Big Dog" uses a series of gyros (think Segway) to help it maintain its balance in any type of environment. It reacts to stimuli in the same any animal would--action & reaction--and as a result, it constitutes by far the most organic robotics that I have ever seen.<br /><br />Keep in mind this is genuine, unaltered video--not a 3D generation. Check it out:<br /><br /><object height="355" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/W1czBcnX1Ww&hl=en"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/W1czBcnX1Ww&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="355" width="425"></embed></object><br /><br />Cool, huh? For some reason, it really reminds me of the ED-209 from Robocop, especially the scene in Robocop 2 (I think...) where it gets blown apart and only the legs are left walking around.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.deadprogrammer.com/photos/ed-209.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://www.deadprogrammer.com/photos/ed-209.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Speaking of Robocop, there's this thing too...<br /><br /><embed src="http://www.liveleak.com/e/109_1195663753" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" scale="showall" name="index" height="370" width="450"></embed><br /><br />It's an amazing age in which we live.<div class="blogger-post-footer">Music & Movie Musings From Burlington, VT</div>jayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03801044842106374486noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37755009.post-11344023963788000992008-03-22T17:15:00.002-04:002008-03-22T17:19:47.158-04:00<span style="font-weight: bold;">SPITTING OUT TEETH RADIO TONIGHT...</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.photoshopsupport.com/photoshop-blog/07/04/ib/andrzej-david-lynch-1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://www.photoshopsupport.com/photoshop-blog/07/04/ib/andrzej-david-lynch-1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Sorry for the late notice on this one, but if you tune in to 105.9 The Radiator tonight at 7pm you can catch a special installment of Spitting Out Teeth Radio called "Piles of Dirt: The Sounds of David Lynch". The show will feature dark & doomy tracks from a couple of Lynch's recent films, as well as the entire soundtrack for his early masterpiece "Eraserhead"....enjoy!<div class="blogger-post-footer">Music & Movie Musings From Burlington, VT</div>jayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03801044842106374486noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37755009.post-70475402646131047382008-03-21T18:37:00.003-04:002008-03-21T18:56:43.435-04:00<span style="font-weight: bold;">THE CINEMA OF DOOM</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.filmreference.com/images/sjff_01_img0517.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://www.filmreference.com/images/sjff_01_img0517.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />As anyone who reads this blog somewhat regularly knows, my music tastes tend to gravitate towards the "doomy"--doom metal, dark ambient, harsh noise, Schubert, etc. I'm not sure what speaks to me so much in melancholy music (maybe close to 30 years of long VT winters?), but I've always been a sucker for minor chords, droning bass & dark lyrical content.<br /><br />However, music is not the only art form where doom appeals to me--I've always liked visual artists like Francis Bacon, Robert Motherwell, Picasso's blue period, etc. But most of all, I like really dark cinema.<br /><br />With the help of my friends over at the <a href="http://www.foreverdoomed.com/">Doom Forever, Forever Doomed</a> forums, I've created a list of some of the best in "Doom Cinema". The criteria for inclusion on the list is as follows: heavily atmosphere, dark content, sparse imagery, and it MUST be in black and white. Even with such severe limitations, we were able to generate quite a list--here it is:<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">"Eraserhead"/"The Amputee"/"Lumiere" (David Lynch)<br />"Begotten" (E.

With, um, mental challenges. Apparently they're becoming incredibly popular amongst the Hollywood crowd (Bill Murray and Luke Wilson both own one).<br /><br />I have to admit that they're fairly intriguing. I don't usually care for photo-realism, but the semi-surreal quality make them somehow cute, compassionate, offensive and revolting at the same time.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.radaronline.com/photos//Lauterbach_04joe.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://www.radaronline.com/photos//Lauterbach_04joe.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.radaronline.com/photos//Lauterbach_10karen.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://www.radaronline.com/photos//Lauterbach_10karen.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.radaronline.com/photos//Lauterbach_pb03.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://www.radaronline.com/photos//Lauterbach_pb03.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.radaronline.com/photos//Lauterbach_20rob.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://www.radaronline.com/photos//Lauterbach_20rob.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer">Music & Movie Musings From Burlington, VT</div>jayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03801044842106374486noreply@blogger.com4
