mp REMIX COMPETITION at indaba music

Wednesday, June 20th, 2007

i have been wanting to do this for a while
because i know everybody seems to play with sound these daysso indaba music,
which is for people who like to collaborate on music
(but don’t know anybody that plays the oboe
and MUST have an oboe)
is doing a remix competition of our song lights off.honestly i’m not sure what the prize is yet
because as you well know by this point
we are scatterbrained and disorganized
(lazy?)
but we’ll make sure it’s cool

this is the link

also(!)
if anybody is interested in full-quality 24-bit wav files to use instead of the mp3 remix files
i was thinking about making a torrent and spreading it around that way
let me know if you are interested in that
(nerd)

we are really excited to hear what you come up with

xo,

traveling men (the pond) sent out

Monday, June 4th, 2007

heeeeeeeeeeeeeey

if you did the mp3 profile thing
check your email
because we sent you a link to the song

“Traveling Men (The Pond)”

if you DON’T receive it by Tuesday
send us a message
with your email address
and we will fix that

hope you enjoy the song
AND
thank you muchly for helping expose the seedy underbelly of music on the internet

the seedy underbelly is the easiest part to stab with a spear
if you are in battle with it

my posts are getting spotty
i’m coming apart at the seams
and all the marshmallow fluff inside is coming out
and that attracts ants
which upsets the cleaning lady
who knocks over the lamp
(in anger)
which sets the drapes alight
and eventually alerts the fire department
who comes and sprays the house
which makes me get soaked
which only makes the marshmallow fluff get oozy and come out faster
which attracts more ants…
