Postdata

Wintersleep's Paul Murphy and his brother, Michael, will release an album as Postdata on Jan. 26 through Sonic Records.

Paul Murphy began working on the self-titled album a few years ago in Yarmouth, N.S. at his parents' house with his brother.

"We had a little too much time on our hands," Murphy says. "Some scotch, too. We wanted to make a present for mom. She'd had a rough year. With a little preparation (a laptop, no microphones, click tracks, or even tunes come to think of it), we recorded about 12 ideas and we went our separate ways."

The brothers reconvened eight months later in Halifax to rehash the songs and record some new ones. This time, they used microphones and click tracks, and consumed less scotch, too.

"Some of the songs turned out to be fuller and more mature after a second take, better than expected," Murphy says. "Other songs maybe didn't quite hit the mark. But the recording as a whole, the half-finished early conception somewhat fragmented material, seems to do something quite nice."

You can hear "Tobias Grey" here.

Here are the songs on Postdata:

"Lazarus"
"In Chemicals"
"Tracers"
"Paranoid Clusters"
"Eclipse"
"Tobias Grey"
"Warning"
"Drift"
"The Coroner"

update??? holy shit!

Man, I am super slack at updating this. I guess I am still trying to figure out what I want to do with it. At first it was going to be for shows and such, but since I post on locals the board and locals the front page, facebook and twitter, adding one more doesn't seem to make sense. So this will probably end up being more of just my personal blog.
whoopdeeedoo

Some interesting facts from my life as of late.

1. I now do 150 sit ups a day at the gym, with the ab roller thingie. Not super full sit ups that will break my back, but hey, it's a start. I'm fat. That is in addition to the other crap I do at the gym.

2. Weird things I have seen at the gym so far. Naked old lady who got confused and took a shower in the men's locker room. Old naked dude, shaving in the nude, stops mid shave, walks over and takes a piss, flushes mid piss and continues to piss after the flush, finishes shave and then walks to shower. weird.

3. The only regular soda I have drank in the last few weeks is with booze. I am all diet soda. Not sure if I prefer diet pepsi more than diet coke, but they only have diet pepsi at work. Lame.

4. Sleepless Nights are playing in Fredericton with Kestrels on the 28th. I am excited for this. I am going over the night before to see Share, Slate Pacific and Quiet parade. This will be fun, as I used to be in QP. Plus it's Fredericton! I had to miss the last Sleepless Nights show which broke my stone heart. Music Nova Scotia week....in Yarmouth. Which is the band's home town. Mega Sad. I got mega drunk in my room and surfed the internet a lot that night. But I am glad to be able to make the Fredericton show, which is the bands other home town.

5. There has been a lot of good shows in C'Town lately and more coming up. I've got to see Syracuse Me, Living with Lions, Immaculate Machine, Smothered in Hugs, Death Avengers, Death Valley Driver, Fugato, Uigg, Sister Jack and Raccoon Bandit. Coming up, More Death Avengers, Wax Mannequin, Brian Borcherdt, Julie Fader. Milk & Rectangles and more Raccoon bandit + Sister Jack.

6. I am looking at getting a new synth/sequencer/sampler for christmas. I am looking at either http://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/producer/maschine/ or http://www.akaipro.com/miniak

7. Trying to record some riffs the other night I accidently fried my input and headphone jack on my macbook. There is a bypass switch on my compressor and when i turned it on, that wasn't on and my amp just sent a mega hot signal to the jack. I am looking at getting a lil usb sound card. Behringer makes one that has both input and output and they are both 1/4" jacks.

8. I am also fairly obsessed with looking up very large file sized pictures of old exploration and science stuff. I was looking for Boards of Canada images and found this image that they have used a lot and I am obsessed with it.

here is a HUGE version.

and here is a bunch of info about it. Wikipedia Article

"The whole descent took 13 minutes and 45 seconds and set the current world record for the highest parachute jump.[3] During the descent, Kittinger experienced temperatures as low as −94 °F (−70 °C). In the free-fall stage, he reached a top speed of 988 km/h (614 mph)."

Sweet Jesus November is going to be a busy month.

Living With Lions, Nov 9th @ Hunter's
Grady + The Respectables, Nov 11th @ Hunter's
Pat D and the Orb Weavers + The Meds Nov 14th @ Hunter's
Matt Mays + The Meds, Nov 18th @ Hunter's
Brian Borcherdt + Julie Fader, Nov 20th @ Hunter's

And that is just a start...

Most serene republic, Milks and Rectangles, Racoon Bandit and Sister Jack, Mardeen, Windom Earle.....so much to do.

Two pictures from Priestess.

Chauntelle, our contest winner last night sent me this photos of Priestess.
Killer show, by the way. Too bad there wasn't more folks out, but everyone there seemed to really dig it.
