All Sloth-age aside, PZ has been busy on a number of things. Beck fans will be happy to hear that his Beck mash-up cd will see official fruition this fall.

If you havn't all ready peeped YOU (CELL) MUST (PHONE'S) LEARN (DEAD), then do yourself a favor and give it a listen. PZ also is shooting for a limited edition psych mix by the name of "ellsie frappe" for this November and an EP by the name of "Cops Eat Flowers" for an early 08 release on some very low-key-zero-promotion-available-from-the-site-only style. PZ has also announced the release of Bjork Breaks & Beats for a summer 08 release and his own solo album for a late winter 08 release. The solo album has all ready been in the works for well over 4 years now, so it better be fuckin good. Stay up, good things to come.

tuning fork and watchbird

meat knife and landlord trying to kill chicken with a spoon

the waiter looking for the tracking button

this is hostage

afternoon walks in 

my cage sings

old ceiling                             back when

you're looking for the glossary

housetree and sinkrain blackmail dancing for our nutrients

what's victim

all   the poor dying shirts

real feelings        reel tape

nothing lost its mouth     never was  

dreams only real when you're sleeping

dreams only real when you're sleeping

        actually are

dull point and chicken knife sea rise to comedown 

server holding an ambiguity fork

suspecting                           someone to creak out of key

new coat             fresh walls

where's this billboard's ear

3'oclock can't figure out what it's selling

   never was

this is my haiku with speech hesitation the vowel elephantitis in the feeding room

     the minimal table napkin

                             (interchangeable with- effective chewing voice)

laughing with the guards first aid for a beverage glass poor over broadway behind a tug boat in the flower mining line dream like a fuse miming for a bathroom suppress the picture to blow up in the right city-state road-side fat man in a labeled free couch  water your goat bloated and enough to feed the guests where do i sip this oasis jump into this crowded volcano buy the best facial expression to do it in he got his vocabulary pressed and cleansed at the discount school (taught only to read signs) monks now groan see the speed-watching versions in select city streets we wait then swerve around them carving  the stripes back into this worn out trench coat cloaks and unique voices soar bark bring the bed to the symptom carve me a home from the ac(he)re of woods pulling rabbits and deer out of a ha(bita)t run my sleeve down to the dryers i need it ironed out and obedient our suicide bombers are the apathetic couch cushions strapped to the beat(chest) we think to waiting (on an expert) to be sold our wording warm feelings and tears like appliance adapters  plug me in to what i'm saying program me to not capitalize my eyes in a public bus stop like a fuse for the dream falling asleep like tug of war on a blank sheet actually filled in like a passed down and infinite coloring book or the lettering on popular wall

where i (attempt to) stand (noticeably still) holding myself up

laughing with the guards

rewindable suitcase

the outside coming off a backyard
the fenced off curves of a woman naked playing the piano
like a solid rock she dug her chisel fingers a centerpiece
to ripple futures feet from you between a times-table
like a lake multiplied infinity our inflections open new backroads
like never clear water my shipwreck songs expand break apart and their pieces
become the size of jupiter an atom on an ankle the leg a pen
jotting always we wrote ourselves to work on someone else's
carving wheel maid obeying my house elephant needs
to find a new circus act the confusion on unicycles peddling
the front door and hot summer air at a stand on
wheels with a cash bucket pack another pipe dream lead for
everyone keep one under the pillow rain check every tear
all your crying in a suitcase burdens in a trunk
doing tricks for peanuts and euphemisms           (a horn similes sound)
            the sun stood straight up for one hour

             this poem's noon siren

               a distant (state) calling me

            the inside sliding off a dining room
                        off a phone call the clouds dialed out
                        we look for puddles to look at each other from
                        i waited for an answer watching the speech of
                        rain ruffle a normally combed window well
                        worded but static-ed and distracted today
                        they cartwheel in the acid rain to celebrate
                        the end of a dry spell  all crumbling
                        in indistinctive chatters semi last words
                        like a sentence's thumb or important noun's
                        height she lost her features in a sedated seated
                        and trained screaming audience's blowing its
                        bought nose adjusting their hair like
                        train tracks attic ladders to install thought bubbles
                        the clouds like billboards all socially correct and sending
                        a message 100 bottles of blank paper an ocean omitted its wave
                         the tree line omitted out of a wonder

                         alone where i'll attach the back cover

                          coded from a peep hole i'm locked behind
                          garnishing my eye lids the grocery store wore
                          mascara the neighbors wore resealable packaging
                          the volume wore my mood i'll book review
                          the feedback skinning layers off a decision
                          i  with my mind on my back
                         the tree i'm tied to coming off its summer

                           a put-off wall coming off its house paint

                          an urge to splatter   and    drip
                          cut windows and at least cock dreams  always aimed at
                          a target counting your dinner me losing couch posture a face
                          to feel familiar  the entire situation talking under water

                             she fills me with bubbles

           

            and i trap wind to sell kites and flying mach-
            ines clipped by the wings

             trying to blow out a candle with one's last breath
             who could read my handwriting
              falling out of its formal clothes

            pushing away life rafts holding ground metal and math lent
            mechanical brain with table legs dish edible daylight

routine assembling centerpiece
            i watched 40 people talk over a loud
            building crashing at table 7
            2 try to look at each other around the
            roses in the middle of the round table
            eating our wrenches and tablecloths
            like diary sheets in an exercise gym
            he towed a firetruck off beat and flat from his neck
            calling all   erosion   and peak
            tuned/toned the world to his pitch 

selling his own thoughts to words like

            dew built up on morning grass
            (or a dew built up on the mourning on a man)
 to be mowed over
             and grown again
               and again

                        and again

                          and then again

                                 and

                                    again

sleep with one    leg running

rem assembled lounge chair for your hankering's left brain's slack incentive like arm fat or dream butter the slave thinks its awake can't remember its aspirations    a knife and something to spread yourself on  a banker's bread  watch yourself melt away  a man wearing his insurance office home can't get his desk in his car gravity's an armchair for us a slope sits sleeping  we dead breathing  human evolution on somesortof exhale 's pull-over-and-look-out-point a run on sentence's punctuation i caught up with a comma stopping for a breath brainstorming an ice age a tall opera's precipice 

how beautiful the few

.

a mountain's bluff an arm rest for a universe's edges like elbows of a star the illusion of empty air costumed in a blue we squeeze and paint songs with   a dripping guitar with nothing catching its notes floats ever in an unsound ocean of cusps

for no one

1.  TWO TON SLOTH REMIX CONTEST!
Brad & PZ's first Two Ton Sloth album will be out April 7th & soon after its release will be a collection of out-takes, unreleased shit and
remixes.....here is your chance to get in on it. We are holding an open remix contest on two Two Ton Sloth tracks....the best remix of
each track wins a spot on the album. The rules are simple: listen to the original tracks in the audio section, choose a track to remix,
download the zip file, use the supplied sounds....or don't, send us an mp3 (192kbps or higher) of your remix by July 8th (PZ's birthday)
and we'll announce the selected two remixes shortly there after. All submissions regardless of being selected will be hosted and
available for download from the site. So fire up your electric Saz, sniff some coffee rinds and GET CREATIN!


2.  TWO TON SLOTH 7" NOW AVAILABLE!
Speaking of the Sloth..... we have a new 7" vinyl release featuring the international smash hit pop phenomena groove bananza "School
Play from a Cloud's Left Lung" from the upcoming Sloth full length.  Alright phenomena is a slight exageration, but indeed it came out
well.  Its got everything......strings, sloths, the drummer from iron butterfly, school kids playing dodgeball in the background.....it should
be your shit.  The b-side features a vinyl only exclusive collabo from the Sloth fellows and out very own Unconventional Science.  A track
of equally magnamonious preportions (and mis-spellings..i think).  Don't sleep.  Its in the shop and comes hand numbered and well
designed if I do say so myself.

3.  "APHIDS ON THE LETTUCE: BECK REMIXED & MASHED UP BY PZ" 7" & CD
Its about time, PZ's Beck project is close to completion and in celebration we put out a little limited edition 7" featuring two of the albums
best tracks (ships March 15th).  The a-side is a delightful "Cellphone's Dead" take on BDP/KRS-1's old school classic, "You must
Learn."  Dig that way gone cut and paste sound, YOW!  The b-side.........I need say nothing more then the following......  Kool Keith
& Beck on ONE track, together.  Forever.  Previews, a free mp3 of the a-side and a 7" pre-order available now in the store.  Aiiiight!?!

4.  MAJOR SITE UPDATE!!!!!!!
Check the site, we've got lots of new mp3s, a message board that finally works, and a really swell new collage from PZ on the main
page.  Within the next month or so we will be adding video including exclusive spoken word jams from Brad Hamers, a strange and
lovely video for PZ's take on "You Must Learn," and some unreleased segments from PZ's Roman holiday docu-drama "Redbull and
Ciggarettes."  Stay up and be sure to let us know if anything is fucked up on the site (aside from the mis-use of html layers...please
please).

5.  BRAD HAMERS SPOKEN WORD ALBUM DROPS
Very exciting indeed, this is the first in a series of full length spoken word collections from Brad Hamers, and it is almost out (end of the
this week 3/17).   This limited edition (200) collection consists of seventeen of Brad's finest recorded spoken jams written over a span of four or
five years. Just about each piece ranges in recording situation and fidelity........ from studio, to bedroom, to cemetary..... from clean, to
elegantly shitty, to unelegantly shitty.  Its Brad in his prime, its a brain slowly eating itself, its a glass saxaphone smoking itself Mayan,
its.......... something that should not fall upon deaf ears.....for your own sake.  Really....go on......what are you waiting for?  Pre order
that shit.  CMON!  WE'RE FUCKING STARVING!  *cough*  *cough* excuse me.  No really.
