more about the mms:

like i said before, this could be one of my biggest shows ever... part of the midwest music summit, a 3-day music conference in indianapolis august 12-14 featuring 40-something shows, exclusive parties, panel discussions, a trade show, & all kinds of other stuff. for those three days, indy will have so much live music it will be busting out of its ass.

if you only want to see my show, that's just $5 (and it's all ages, dammit!) but why not take advantage of all the other stuff by getting a badge instead? i can hook you up with a badge for $45, which will get you full admittance into the conference: all the shows, parties, & everything else. $45 for three days worth of entertainment is a pretty good deal when you think about it (it costs that much just to get into disneyland for one day). plus, if you buy a badge through me, not only does it show the mms folks that there are people out there who are into live experimental electronic music (making them more likely to book me and other interesting acts in the future), but i will get $15 dollars of that skrill. making me $15 into your debt. (i'm realistic; i don't expect anyone to buy a badge through me, so if you do i will notice. maybe i'll give you some free merch. maybe i'll give you $15 worth of something illegal, like drugs or sexual favors.)

okay, let's get on with it:

animals within animals and lost frog productions present:

animals within animals - get me some press or kill these people

tokyo-based lost frog productions has put out the first studio release from animals within animals in three years, & it's available for free download, with pdf cover art for you to print out and hang on your wall.

get me some press or kill these people is raw and emotional. it takes the cutup sampling sensibilities of awia's earlier studio work and infuses it with the harsh noise flavor of their live performances. the result is intense and seemingly erratic, as the reptilian brain overcomes the mammalian brain and arranges sound based on raw instinct rather than cold logic or "musical" formula.

check it out at http://www.lostfrog.net/

and hey, while you're there, you might as well download some of the other lost frog mp3 releases... a few of my favorites include the releases by panicsville, five starcle men, & kingdom scum... & how can you not like a band called "world targets in megadeaths"?

good news europe! stAllio!'s true data 12" is now in-stock at praxis! if you're in europe & have been waiting for a european shop to have the record in stock, today is your day. check out the praxis mailorder catalog and email cf... or check out the praxis web site.

the new animals within animals mp3ep on lost frog will be out very soon... it would be out already if haruo weren't swamped at his day job.
