and some news:
As
I'm not doing Gameboy anymore, I'll soon be starting up Editions
Shiflet which will mainly function as an MP3 archive of various solo
releases over the years, but will also feature some unreleased material
and might even release an actual physical album in time. I also plan on
digitizing/ripping and presenting Gameboy's back catalog in the near
future as well.

And of course there are several masters out there with labels now, so expect more soon.

New (old) tape on Gods of Tundra.

Word from Connelly:

CANNIBAL FREQUENICES cass. I found this master buried underneath the
dirt in the woods next to my builiding. It was covered in mud and
mostly rotted. Turns out MIKE SHIFLET recorded this, dug a hole and
threw it in there 2 years ago. Now its been unearthed and its time to
for the rot to soak into your stereos. Fans of Shiflet's eariler GOT
tape "Drones and Spits" should be chomping at the bits for this one.
Edition of 50. $7 US, $9 Can and Mex, $11 World.

I'm too lazy to embed all of these, but click the link to check out sets by both Mr. Brendan Murray and myself. Almost every night is documented in some form or antoher.

Will probably be laying low until we are settled back in Columbus. I've found an apartment and a job, so it's just a matter of getting settled over the next few weeks. Feels nice to be back, but I obviously miss my old new old home over there. More wreckage soon. I'll keep you posted.

I've put an album up in my Pics with all the photos that were included with the Shiso Epilogues CDR Set. If you want to a glimpse of rural Japan in artificially antiquated black and white, click herre

a quick three question interview from the polish experimental music wiki page:

Rather than just posting the English version, I was going to try to get use one of those online translators that never work so we could all laugh at the stupid machines. Unfortunately, Polish isn't quite as popular as French or German, so I'm not going to bother at all. Learn Polish.

Mike Shiflet : Shiso Epilogues
PRE-ORDER ONLY 3xCDR Set

As I prepare to leave Japan and return to the States, every aspect of my life seems to be colliding, imploding, begging to be channeled through sharp and contrasting tones. The results of their pleas, Shiso Epilogues is presented as three discs of focused, drifting works. Each CDr houses one extended epic track, ranging from 50 to 70 minutes.

Each disc in the set is packaged in a cardstock sleeve with paper covering and the set is wrapped in dark washi paper with mounted photos. There is one insert with a photo as well. Each set of photos is different, each insert unique with descriptions of the included photos.

Audio Sample (from the third disc): http://gmby.net/audio/gb98-shiso-sample.mp3
Photos of the packaging: http://gmby.net/releases/gb98pics.html


This set is $25/ppd. and is available by pre-order only. The edition size will be determined by the number of orders received. I am taking reservations until the end of April and will begin shipping them May 1. Payment is not required with reservation, only before shipping.

Message me here or email ms@gmby.net to reserve.

This is true: being in a foreign country and basically having only one person to talk to on a regular basis will greatly reduce one's television viewing standards. Everyday at 3PM, the Kobe channel Sun TV runs syndicated American TV shows that are way down there at the bottom of the bottom of the barrel. And every day, for some reason, I keep watching. Here's just a sampling of some of the programs I've watched faithfully in (as best as I remember it) chronological order:

Odyssey 5 - http://imdb.com/title/tt0318236/

Strong Medicine - http://imdb.com/title/tt0252019/

Party of Five - http://imdb.com/title/tt0108894/

Miami Vice - http://imdb.com/title/tt0086759/

Dawson's Creek - http://imdb.com/title/tt0118300/

VIP - http://imdb.com/title/tt0134269/

There've been a couple others with shorter runs that were so bad I can't remember their titles. The Matlock rip-off comes to mind and I think there was another Sci-fi show besides Odyssey 5. Regardless I can't wait to get back to regular life and overwhelming my senses in various more fruitful ways.
