ps ... I just realized a reason why there is so much content; I like to hear new stuff in the car all the time!

always there

... so I finally got a printer and all the supplies I need to make media (Trinity will love helping on these projects!) but I don't really want to use the content from the bandcamp albums for the first batch. I think these will be more like ltd samplers; covering favorites uploaded over our first 5 months.

print me| come over



Mike says this is confirmed.
He sort of does booking at the moment.
And plays drums.
And laughs and my bad jokes. Friends.


PS - we're going to have some pre-release merch available
print the flyer and bring it, you get a discount
(maybe free?)

heche-esoteric

I AM amazed and so grateful
so grateful that I'm doing this, that there's so much energy and live in these bones
... so much to see and do.

And I want you to be there, I want to take you on these journeys.

We'll discover strange and unique sounds, imagery will astound us.

Come with me, be with us.

adjusted inequalities

Second track from last night's session as Imperial Dunes
which is: Andrew on drums
Mike P. on bass
E.Lund on vox/guitar

(*thus far)


Got a virgin tumblr, I'm going to try to use it more than this for this stuff, but that won't be easy, I like how 85lives trails threw years of creative development.

newness

... last nights sessions were very dynamic and quizzical. Much potential exists. Neurons and chemical matter fusing and looking for similar rhythmic patterns; functional connectivity.

desire trumps skill

Skill can be developed thru repetition, but desire ( read heart) cannot. I look forward to fresh gold soundz to come forth.

Who KNOWS what can happen!

Here s a debut from Imperial Dune from the ATL... from a demo called blasted - tips

It's got lots of quiks and side lifts and even packs it's own elevator and evaporator.

... get 'em while there hot... I got a feeling this line-up or a soon variation of it will get bandcamp status.

I'm on mediafire

El Hefe was right
Desire can keep you up at night
Make you sleep for like 5 hours a night
The thoughts, the sensations, possibilities
... a freight train going on thru the middle of my head

memo 2 ray

Through all of history mankind has ingested psychedelic substances. Those substances exist to put you in touch with spirits beyond yourself, with the creator, with the creative impulse of the planet.
- Ray Manzarek

Well said Mr. Manzarek and yet we must still know that not all spirits are of God, and therefore not all spiritual presence is Good, even though it/they may feel as if.

Any presence that denies Jesus as the risen son of God, that presence is not of God and will lead you astray.

Be careful of your influence sources.

tumblr




... I'm gonna try to utilize the double nickels tumblr more; it needs more attention. I really don't want to have to double content, but tumblr has a certain spark as a community, it's a place fitting for double nickels.

Not to worry, 85lives has established itself as the publishing repository of this music I am involved in. Scarrzz is pretty much dead thanks to our bandcamp.

Just an update. Might have a hot date soon. Mike, get that passport, cheque/add to our calender

A decisive turn in the energy pattern of DN... a how you say, slow down of pace. Much more relaxed.
Honestly, the access to all those byrds sorta inspired the frenzy.

Shag-tastic.

u up?

No secret download on this one. There's still a lot of people paying for excellent songs to download, and if I give it all away, I'll never really have the domesticated proof now will I?

To all you cool cats and hip people out there in the groovy west coast, from Venice Beach, California; to Santa Monica and the Ralph's in West Hollywood on Sunset down from the Guitar Center and the (R.i.P.) Vintage Hollywood Guitars, to the dude spinning NWA/EZ-E at Dunes in Yuma, and Mansi the lovely bartender/part owner of Dunes; holla.

Good morning from the West! New tunes coming. I just got an email from elite gymnastics regarding jesse martinez (elite gymnastics rmx)... turns out role's jam is not a remix of elite gymnastics since they didn't do the original clip after all!

I give credit when credit is due so to you ghost emcee's this is for you.

Better believe I'm sorta freaking out, this stuff was intended for the Apocalypse!

The lyrics iTunes state, Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name. Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority.

This is the sound John heard when he penned those words on that island, all those years ago.

Sorta wish I had figuring this all out during
your stage in life but then, it may not have
been so fun to get here
during my time where you are.

Of course, the assumption here is that
I've figured anything out.
And yet, that may not be an assumption.

Assuming, my understanding

...is - nevermind.
