Okay, for those of you interested, there’s a big old pile of snippets from my most recent musical history added to this site. In the sidebar, you can see the link under Pages that says, “Tunes (with me in ’em)”; if you click on it (or on this link), you’ll be taken to a page with one full out-of-print Dabang album, snippets from the still-in-print one, and a remixed recording of a live concert I did at a rave with a live ambient group back in 1998. If you plan on listening repeatedly, please download instead of streaming it, because …

Bugsmusic Dabang
I know it’s a little late since I quit the band a while ago, but some of you haven’t heard the songs from the more recent CD. I walked into the office to hear one of the songs, which was playing on the office PC. It was being streamed from Bugsmusic, and this is the page where all the tracks can be viewed and streamed from. UPDATE 20 January 2005: That link above doesn’t display all of the songs we have online there, but this one does. And here are links to where you can check out some of my …
Listen To The Words
The fiendish Adam asks us this week: What are your 5 favorite lines from any song? Not the song itself, but specific lyrics that you dig, and find yourself repeating in your head. Oh, now, that’s just not fair. I listen most of the time to instrumental music, man! I mean, no singing, no words… Well, I’m gonna have to cheat a wee bit, choosing songs that were at some point important to me, however brief that moment was; so please, please bear with me. The complete lyrics of the Nat King Cole song It’s ONly a Paper Moon, which …
Tongueless in Jeonbuk
Well, I’m not tongueless but it feels like I have no tongue. This medicated mouthwash I’m using is making it feel as if my tongue is just not there, at least for nine of the first ten or so minutes after I use it. (The first minute, it feels as if it’s haloed in burning light, perhaps transfigured, so to speak.) Last night we played an okay show to a rather big crowd, big considering the venue. I should have brought my mic, but I thought we’d be playing “unplugged”, ie. with an acoustic guitar and minimal mics. Turned out …
A Post About Dabang
Hey, I was looking for one of my band’s photos online and I chanced across a fan’s posting on his/her blog. Neat, huh? I wish I could read the comments. And I also found a neat picture of the band, on the daum cafe, which I’ve copied to here: There are also, apparently, about a zillion places where you can listen to samples of our new CD, as I discovered with an ingenius search at Google. And finally, I found an album review which I was curious about. Now, after long experience I know Babelfish produces some weird stuff, but …
Music Stuff
Here are all those links I was looking for. Last night, Dabang Band opened (without me, due to my damned finger problem) for labelmates Zzam (which I think they’re translating as “Drowsy Music” in English though their name is just a stylized way of writing the verb “sleep” in Korean). Anyway, they were good enough to convince me to buy a copy of their new CD, which doesn’t appear on their own CD (it’s just been released, maybe they haven’t updated yet) but which can be seen and sampled on the website hosted by their label, Cavare. Cavaret is, incidentally, …
Excitement about Fingering!!!
First of all… Get your mind out of the gutter! I mean fingering charts. See, I just bought a flute for my trip to India; flutes are great because they’re compact, light, easy to carry around, and for me it’s a chance to practice an instrument I haven’t tried to play in a long time. I was never very good to begin with, but having started on a pawn shop flute with keys that didn’t seal even after repairs, one shouldn’t be surprised.
Listen to ME!
UPDATE (2 Feb. 2012): I’ve moved things around since 2003, including uploading some more music and also creative work from other fields. If you look up at the top of this page, you should be able to find links for all that. ORIGINAL POST: Okay, for people who skim… I’m gonna make this clear, because I mentioned it before but someone mentioned not seeing it. There are some recordings available on this website of me performing music. The Dabang Band tracks are probably very familiar, but the Apocrypha tracks may not be. So I’ve added them to my music section. …
Last Night’s Gig
Last night’s show was pretty good. We performed as part of the Dongmun Festival, which is some kind of animation and film festival. We saw the most unusual Korean and Japanese animations, including our band’s apparent favorite, Frank, about a psychotic dog who goes ballistic and even perhaps homicidal when his Hominid-dog friend gets too chatty with a frozen chicken. I want the guy who animated that film to do our next album’s cover art. As Myoung said, “There’s a little bit of Frank in everyone…” Hell, some days there’s a big fat Frank in my saxophone, even. Anyway, we …
Gigs
Right, here are our gigs, which I probably should have mentioned here before, but I haven’t had time. Tonight, which is Thursday night, at the new Jukebox club in Jeonju, at 9pm. And Sunday, at the Jeonju Natural Map, which is near the Gaeksa in downtown Jeonju at 7:30pm. We’re going to play loud. Do not be alarmed. Simply join us in rocking out. That is all.
