Proof that a cheap electric guitar can be a substitute for a drum kit.

If Fuck Buttons did pop...

Again substituting a guitar for a drum kit but this time an acoustic. Structurally, a more straight-forward piece, sounding more like a band than some of the other Ca Va? Oui, Ca Va! songs.

A badly-tuned kalimba, a toy drum and a novelty stapler... Pop genius.

This one was written after coming home in the harsh light of being out all night after learning someone I knew put a shotgun in his mouth and pulled the trigger. I write this from his perspective... 'Nuff said.

Probably one of my better gtr riffs/rhythm parts in those days. The song is always borderline going off the tracks...but it was fun to play live.

The close friend of mine who helped engineer this session said my gtr sounded like a swarm of angry bees. That's the best compliment I can think of. This was a mayhem producer when played live. I barely was able to keep it together in the studio…

A gritty street anthem featuring Bugzee.

Uncle Bobo needs his keys back, and he has a reward for the first person who finds them!

Another Blacksmith Lesson, this time with intro musics! This episode explains how to build a coal forge out of a plastic bucket and some cat litter. All of the written lessons, along with pictures to illustrate some of the lessons, can be found…

The song was constructed around a field recording of Lacandon men paddling across the lake in Métzabok, Chiapas (Southern Mexico). The Lacandon speak "Hach T'an," which is a Mayan dialect-- this is the language you hear in the track. Unfortunately…
