well, you can add DJ Empirical and The Librarian to the dicks out there in bootleg remix land. i'm a big flight of the conchords fan, and TL quickly appreciated the quality of their tune, so we chopped up and battered "Too Many Dicks on the Dancefloor" under our new Schwarz moniker. take a listen:
so i met A.E. Paterra over a year ago, when i opened for Gil Mantera's Party Dream and he was introduced to me as their new drummer. "we stole him from a band called Zombi," Ultimate Donny told the crowd.
my dumb ass assumed Zombi was probably some shitty pittsburgh (or even youngstown)* band, friends with GMPD and Paterra was pitching in on drums live. wrong.
fast forward to a couple-few days ago, my associate The Librarian asked via instant message whether i'd heard "Sapphire" by Zombi, which he'd bought to play that night in his set at Pris. i hadn't, and in fact did not at first even remember Paterra's Zombi, though that changed by the end of the track, which was excellent synthy rock (imagine Kavinsky or Moroder, but prog). something about the feel of it grabbed me like GMPD did, and i started putting 2 and 2 together.
so sorry Tony, if you read this. everyone else, go check them shits out. don't be like me.
[*] nothing against those towns. i think the same thing about this town too.
So, I was thinking I'd repeat my Christmas effort and make a little Valentine's Day comp. This one's easier, since every asshole has some song about love, whether it's a happy one, or a sad one, or whatever. I tried to avoid a lot of the absurdly overplayed obvious things ("I Feel Love", "Love Bites") in favor of more interesting stuff. And don't worry -- there's a good mix of rock in with the "dje"-type stuff.
There's also a track in there from my old band, The Haywards, from the EP that represents my only recorded output with them. The song is "Valentine's", and David wrote it specifically for a VD show we did.
Here's the tracklist. Hopefully it won't discourage you from downloading. :D

Comments welcome! Oh, and sorry, there are a couple 128 mp3s in there. Appy-polly-logies.
Black Signal, my band with Sean and Matt, had a recording session today with Andy Perkins, at his Litterbox Studios. I snapped a couple pics, mostly during soundcheck.
So in case you haven't heard it yet, Christian Bale went on a little rampage on the set of... Terminator 4 or something.
Nowadays it's cool to remix the hell out of any old audio clip that hits the web, but all the remixes I've heard have been wack as hell, so when stAllio! suggested that *someone* remix it well, i figured I'd give it a whirl.
