this is the cover for booomboxxx, the upcoming BEDM lp (cd/vinyl- 10/22/08- TLE). of course, the cd and vinyl art work will be handsomely hand screened by that handsome devil, jared mees, but I figure if you are anything like my best pal, erik, you may have use for a jpg for your ipod, iphone, iwhatchamacallit, or idoohicky.

“who can figure out such devices?”

moving on…

the (free) download page has some new stuff, including the mastered version of demonic with horns, my recent live performance on KEXP, album covers for pleasure, two ghosts, and booomboxxx, and ipod format video files for eunuch and 3000FLARES. (whew…my digits have been doing some serious coding.) well I hope you are having a fabulous week so far!

BEDM + TLE!

June 27th, 2008


I’m stoked to say the next couple BEDM LPs will be coming out on Portland’s tender loving empire, starting with booomboxxx on 10/22/08. Along with being a label, TLE makes hand crafted art and custom screen printing and has an adorable store in NW PDX where they sell unique one-of-a-kind shirts, cd’s, doo-dads, and graphical arts . if you’re ever in Portland and in the upper pearl neighborhood please check em’ out. WORD.

here’s a pic of the tender loving empire compilation friends and friends of friends, which contains the BEDM cut ‘the crack in the sea’. the release/birthday party for TLE last night was a blast. among it’s many festive inclusions were cupcakes (galore!), a hand made monster pinata filled with prizes (galore!), hilarious name tags with excellent—and often geeky—social references (you guessed it: galore!), AND music by lots of musical peeps. Plus, lots of other fun stuff I’m probably just forgetting about right now…
