HI! LONG FUCKING TIME NO SEE OR SOMETHIGN, GUYS. guess what, i'm going to start a siege of acoustic fuckingness, like MORE SHIRT AND KIND SONGS, i mean SHOWS coming up so that's ab fab. i will be playing songs off of almost every album, or maybe exclusively new songs, or maybe exclusively annoying minimalist improvised songs, for those of you who're short in patience, whatever i feel like doing, cuz that's what dickrock and roll is all about right? greying men writing books about "what dickrock and roll is all about." so, chickenlegs, ironlungs and flametongues, look out cuz soul is back.

oh yeah and just email me through myspace or whatever or something if you wanna set up a show. i prefer kitchens, livingrooms and basements in that order. really, if you have a good kitchen and want to set something up, drop me a line.

loveyouuuuu

hey there, fools! i'm making (almost) the whole certain kind discography available for purchase! five dollars! this consists of four discs' worth of recorded material, since the first ever recording (in summer '06), including a disc of previously unheard shit. that's around a hundred songs. the only thing missing is the second ep ("torchthrower"). i don't have it. if you have a copy of it, lemme know.

think of this as a possible starting point for a resurgence by NEW MORNING RECORDINGS. the packaging will be super minimal, because i have close to ZERO MONEY right now and have to feed myself for the rest of the month. but maybe i can ramp up the production cost if i see any skrill from this endeavor. so it'll probably be, like, say, for instance, a couple thick-ish pieces of creative scrap paper, stapled together. maybe i'll add an historical insert at some point.

here's the layout

PT ONE

NICK HAWLEY GAMER: shouts ous to you, sir! we got some mad steez coming up wit the HIGH LIFE. you wanna do backing vocals on heat seekingmissile at the show this saturday night?

and if you EVER, EVER have a chance to see shellac live, then doit. it's for yr health.

oh yeh an one more thing breezy geezies: there's cold a lotta this crtn knd music that i might keep rotating around onniss myspacc pagg, so check back an maybe you can could download some deep cuts on the d low before they shit giss rotated up inna some purgatorial disgustingness, yknow?


ps this entry is of no substance, i just got a mean case atha afternoon attitude. alll like, "fuck you, two pm!" yknow how that shit is. you just get mad in the afternoon!

oh yeah ps come to the morning glory cafe cuz will an me might cold be reading pomes at some stupid shit. tomorrow [thurs] night! REPRASEnT.

HEY THERE YOU MINGING ARSE HORSE! in case you missed the last VERY IMPORTANT AND SPECIAL buillitaine, i will painstakingly transcribe as follows:

"we've got a whole shit slew of new songs up on this myspace page now! all from the avalanche of upcoming certainkind albums, which will be discussed in turn below! in order of when they'll be released! on new morning recordings! check dis check dis i know you gonna fool around until you make me wreck dis so check i'ma wreck it like dis now!

1. TENDER BIRD EP: is it a short album? or a long ep? this one i did with anna cordis aka ponto. we wrote the songs together. it's super sedate and pretty, for all your locked up indoors needs.

2. PRIDE OF THE VALLEY: is a straight up rocker, geezies. it's big and sloppy and pwerful, just like all my man lovers that i cavort around with at all hours of the week. it's meant to sound like the way we sounds live. and it does. and it's packed with the hits.

3. CLASSY CLASSY: this is the one that i wrote and recorded in one night. it's super silly and super excellent. it's like if you made a nineteen twennies blues record about my life with a toy keyboard and had to sing it real quiet so as not to wake up alseep people.

4. HIGH LIFE: this is a colab effort with boy shamus aka nick hawleygamer. it's got his songs and mine, together. it's going to be a super good pop record and will kill you all when you hear it so be careful because death is an important thing.

AND GUESS WHAT ELSE DUDE: william get's back sooner than the soonest soon from his long dutch sojourn. and you know what's going to happen? he's going to join live certn kind on GHUITAR!! WHOAH! I KNOW, RIGHT? TWO GUITARS. IT'S THE CREAM DREAM. he'll debut with us on the 20th at everbody's favrite getcrunk club spot: shady pines. with everbody's favrite olympia mod pop lad group; the pharmacy.

so love us the way we love you. which is sexually. give us all your sexual activities. and we'll give you timeless pop classics. "


so there. butt butt. now go out and get a job and stop dicking aroundon theinternet, OKAY.

and plus we got MUCH hubris and bad attitude! we can be disrespectful to ANYONE WE WANT. if charley patton were alive, we could even be disrespectful to HIM. and he'd APOLOGIZE to us!

you know what? it's five in morning! you know what i just did? at eleven in the night, i sat down to make an album from scratch. to write and record A WHOLE ALBUM in ONE SITTING. and i got that shit done! and the resulting twenty song silliness is called _CLASSY CLASSY_

expect it to be released after _PRIDE OF THE VALLEY_ (which is still under construction. need to find a good time to lay down drum tracks).

maybe i'll put a song or two from classy clasyy on here later if i feel like it. but i don't even have to do shit cuz i could just pretty much be rude and do whatever i want in the world, so ok! i bet you wanna here a song called "i'm starting to forget what it's like to have a girlfriend" right? well maybe if i feel nice i'll put it up. right now i don't feel nice. right now i feel like a raw, uncouth fellow. i want to go outside and shoot a gun.

keep an eye out for our shows, guys. they're not on the page, but maybe if feel like it later i'll think about putting them up. if you were cool, you'd already KNOW when they are, though, right? exactly.

i could punch a raccoon and it would say "oh man. sorry, duder". i could punch it right in its side and then scare its next of kin away and say profane language about it. and it would just be like "bra i'm sorry ok".

i could tie a lamppost around bruce lee's head. i could call tom waits a beefheart-copping, affectatious, talentless motherfucker TO HIS FACE and he'd be all like "shit, just don't tell my fans, ok please".

oh god. whoever just broke into my house picked the wrong time. they gonna taste my chain. gotta go.

ok so maybe we're halfway through the next full lengthed albumm: PRIDE OF THE VALLEY. it's gonna be a rocker, pretty babies, trying to approximate to some extent the present status of our live sound. i won't project a release date, because when yr workin the unnrgourd, release dates are FILTH and release dates are LIES.

and our ep that we did with anna cordis? tender bird? soon enough it'll be available by mail order from NEW MORNING RECORDINGS. two dollars. that's it.

yep, we finished recording and mixing it last week. you can hear the first song onnere on tthis here page (it's called corsairs and marsupials). you can here the seccn sone onnere on cordis' page. the ep is twenty one minutes and five songs in duration. so it's one of those "long eps"

just as soon as we burn and decorate a whole mess of them, they'll be available by mail order or in person for the paltry sum of two dollars, thanks to the folks over at new morning recordings.

the ep will be released concurrently with an album by german punk band olfrygt.

and don't worry, folks. we're working on a few shows right now.

[insert emoticon here that is simultaneously smoking, winking, blushing, doing a line, reading about problems, whisking, bustling, eating popcorn and on a skateboard]

it has been agreed in the latest bimonthly NEW MORNING SECRET ELITE SUMMIT that one cassidy kane, alongside one anna ponto, will enter into a series of meetings to discuss, conceptualize and eventually record a very special single for release under the "certain kind" nombe. we are at liberty to divulge little else but the name of this piece: "the tender bird ep." further information: it will be of the category most often described in terms of words such as "awesome" and "much akin to excellence not seen since biblical times."

it will have much instrumentation. then a certain kind will embark upon the recording of its next full lengthed release: "pride of the valley," which will feature relatively minimal instrumentation.

throughout this period of time, a certain kind will endeavor to organize and perform in a series of concerts, informally known as the "inaugural season running series" and formally known as "grand" "piece" "very acceptable" and so forth. be with us in spirit, as well as body: we accept donations of blood, which we transfer to the league for anemic cats, in toronto.




done here.

hey daer evrboddy. its high on nigh on time for me to rock a little something special in weblog city, because i know the citizens has missed me as i teaveled along .  . . the something something .

( well in fact ) the band goes slow. anna an i both have jobs + school and nic is the model of today's active lifestyles, so we've not practice much at all. but that's okay. the records are selling as fast as could be and soon we'll be out, so if you aint got one now's the time.

plans for another ck album? songs are coming to me (is that not such the pretensciouss way of saying it? do you not just totally love when people are all like: "i don't know how i write, it just comes to me, man"? yeah, jshut up, dude, you're not the shit) and i'm thinking of it. i already have some artwork plans and a name plan: pride of the valley will be the name plan and the artwork is cool trust me. what's my theme coming into this? well, if triple rise was all like "let's just throw down as many tracks as we can think of and put a bunch of instrument on there" then pride of the valley is "let's keep it real stripped down. bass, drums, singing and guitar, with few of any guitar overdubs." consistency, solidity, so forth. dunno if i'll put this plan to the test. but boy does it ever have appeal. plus, i really want to avoid sounding like i'm trying to be gbv, which is one f the major dangers of doing poorly recorded pop music.

what's the song count? i dunno, lemme think . . .at least six. so maybe a couple months and new morning recordings will squeeze out another full length by us, a certain kind.

ah yeah! spirits rejoice! here it is, at long last! please believe!

that's right. our newest album, triple rise (songs from which you can hear on our page) is out as of now. this is it, lads and ladies. it's also the consummatory release of our lubbly record label, new morning recordings.

how much for this thing? fife dollars, postage paid. to get a copy, follow the mail order directions in the url below:
