Current mood:  cranky

1.  I've posted a new song titled Day at Disneyland about entry into somekind of psychedlic inferno below the magic kingdom.  Pay close attention to the segue between songs on the myspace player.

2.  The Broken Freeways tape has been released by Unread Records.  I think it's one of the best releases I've had my hand in. It chronicles a time without plentiful gasoline in Los Angeles' dumpy suburbs.  West Covina is the site of civil unrest, East Los Angeles is a warlord's fiefdom, Pico is an agricultural land of plenty.





3. The Sun, Smog & Hate compilation LP, released recently by Folktale Records has charted #1 on KSPC, Claremont.  It's a good collection and it features a song by yours truly.  The rest of the line up is formidable; Voice on Tape, Andrew Jackson Jihad, Foot Ox, I.E., Whitman, Clark 8 and more.  It's cover was drawn by Brian Blomerth of Narwhalz infamy.

4. My Goth Tales Ep  is still available for pre-sale through folktale. Here's the basic lowdown on that.





"Many of you may already know Thill for his tendency to work with concepts for his releases, and this record lives up to that in full effect. This is a collection of eight songs about gothic/pagan culture. The songs are dark, distorted, and often disturbing. The pre-order comes with two additional mp3’s, one, “Dark Will” is an outtake from the record, and the second, “Sword of Fire” is a new song written in the theme of the record. Both songs are exclusive to this pre-order. The album will come on tinted-red cd-r’s which is packaged in a large, black screened on black, fold-out, upside down cross."

5. The mp3 blog 20 Jazz Funk Greats recently reviewed a track of mine, though most of the buzz surrounds the accompanying photoshop picture in the entry.

6.  I'm looking for Bay Area shows to play, pretty much anywhere.  If you have leads for me, by all means get in touch.
