The
Via Satellite remix album is now available, with one
of my trizzacks on it.
Current score:
- Remix/Comp Releases: 4
- Debut Albums: 0
Currently working on remixes for Sierpinski, Soul Junk, and Camera Obscura. Looks like debut album
is fighting a losing battle...
Janurary 20th, 2003
Ilya's Japanese minialbum has been released, containing a remix by yours truly, as well as The Album
Leaf and some B-sides. I think the band has a handfull of copies for sale at their shows, or you can
buy it from
Japan for 12 bucks.

I got this rad motivational email from some random dude today:
"HI MY NAME SI RODNEY DEAN SNODGRASS , ITS QUITE A BURDEN THAT NAME BUT UNIQUE TOO. IM ALREADY
PRETTY MUCE SET IN LIFE BUT REMEMBER ITS JUST A NAME NOT WHO YOU ARE"
November 22nd, 2002
So the other day I was converting my hard drive from FAT32 to NTFS and blew the whole thing. Lost
everything. Including my album. HAH!
November 1st, 2002
I just finished a remix for
Ilya. It will be coming out on
a maxi-single over in Japan in a couple months. I also started a remix for
Via Satellite which is almost done, and soon after will
be starting a remix for the Leeds based group
Sierpinski... Remixes, remixes,
remixes. No time for my own perpetually unfinished record. :) Perhaps I will pull a Hrvatski and
just release remix/comp tracks for 10 years before I release anything myself. Hah.

Favorite artist of the past year or so: Kettel. I really can't get enough of this fucking guy.

"You hear it all the time coming out of the mouths of record executives, 'people are stupid, people
are stupid.' And people are not. In fact, they're smarter than they've ever been because they have
more access to information, more places to get music. They're making up their own minds about what
they like, as opposed to what they're told to like. And now the labels are paying for that
disrespect. They're finding that people are no longer tolerant of their bullshit."
- Mos Def
I've got 3 shows this month and next, playing with the likes of Randomnumber, Dntel, Hrvatski, and
Greg Davis. If you come I will throw you guitar pics and sign your t-shirt.
September 27th, 2001
I just went to Disneyland. It was great. Everyone's affraid of terrorists so there were no lines.
May 8th, 2001
Doing a couple of tracks for a compilation of some 50+ artists each doing a 45 second long song.
Should be fun (and actually quite challenging to do anything interesting in 45 seconds without
sounding like a simple wank session)... it will be out on
Simball Records soon. Other artists include Languis,
Kid-606, Plastiq Phantom, and a slew of others.
Playing a show on Friday may 25th @ The Turquoise Lounge inside Aztec Bowl. Lineup includes
a.e.m.,
Sonic Wallpaper, and Planet Ape.

Janice. It is being mastered by Rafter @ Singing Serpent. Limited to 500 copies, there will be

one here for less than the price of a Taco Bell combo meal. Just shoot me an email.

Our shows went well. Lots of people came out to support experimental music. Thank you. Because of
you we have been given the opportunity to do future events like it. Keep an ear to the ground for
more info. I finished both of my Tristeza remixes today. I hope they like them.
