STREAMS report

You may have noticed all Multipuload links for STREAMS 39-71 have been taken offline, fallout from the famous Megaupload shutdown. We plan on eventually making these downloads available again through our Bandcamp account, but this may take some time. So if you got the STREAMS the first time around, feel lucky!

In more exciting news, we are finalizing production on the STREAMS 2 box set, due out this year on Blast First Petite. We couldn't be more thrilled as BFP main man Paul Smith has backed some of our favorite music from our lifetime -- Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle, Suicide, Pansonic, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr, Big Black, Butthole Surfers, to name a few. It's a big honor to be among the current BFP roster with heavyweights like John Fahey, Michael Chapman, and Charlemagne Palestine.

STREAMS 2 is an expansion on its predecesor and covers the years 2007-2009, featuring edits and remixes from STREAMS 39-63, plus studio outtakes, radio sessions, unreleased instrumentals and more. More details to come of course ... watch the skies for magic info!!

JFR returns to his alma mater as Excepter performs on checkerboard floors in a former insane asylum-turned dormitory for unlucky sophomores. JFR and NNCK creative director would often lunch here (Taco Bell 69 cents) in formative years of the young people's NYC avant garde scene 94-95. This night we played with Blues Control and Lala's band Imaginary People. Lala provides request for "Pink Panther Theme" on untuned piano as introduction to the enduction.

STREAM 22

Recorded live to stereo, May 8, 2005
Sonic Protest Festival, Paris France.

The last show of the European tour. A long road running up from pilot home at ZDB Lisbon through Porto to Vigo to Bilbao, cutting across to Barcelona, then a mad dash through the Alps to Paris. A slice of hoof if you're lucky. Twenty minutes sleep in a hallway or hushed in a hostel. We lived in gay bars. But he took it too far. The last show with Calder and Caitlin.

Recorded live to stereo April 1st, 2005, at the Eyedrum Festival, Atlanta, GA.

Big underground shindig thrown by the dudes in Deerhunter. In fact, Deerhunter main-man Brandon fan-tackled JFR before the set ... and hasn't been seen in the same room since. JFR would burn a few additional bridges (later rebuilt) by telling a long-time school pal that they "were only friends for fifteen minutes." Oddly about the same amount of time the band would let go by in its set before letting the rhythms drop. Magik Markers, Mirror Dogs and The No-Neck Blues Band were all present. Last US show with C&C line-up.
