This dropped last night. I'm using this revolutionary concept - writing the lyrics down BEFORE I lay them down. Crazy.

Second on the new #ATLMusic collection. Cheers.

I've seen horrors... horrors that you've seen. But you have no right to call me a murderer. You have a right to kill me. You have a right to do that... but you have no right to judge me. It's impossible for words to describe what is necessary to those who do not know what horror means. Horror... Horror has a face... and you must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not, then they are enemies to be feared. They are truly enemies! I remember when I was with Special Forces... seems a thousand centuries ago. We went into a camp to inoculate some children. We left the camp after we had inoculated the children for polio, and this old man came running after us and he was crying. He couldn't see. We went back there, and they had come and hacked off every inoculated arm. There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember... I... I... I cried, I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out; I didn't know what I wanted to do! And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it... I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought, my God... the genius of that! The genius! The will to do that! Perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure. And then I realized they were stronger than we, because they could stand that these were not monsters, these were men... trained cadres. These men who fought with their hearts, who had families, who had children, who were filled with love... but they had the strength... the strength... to do that. If I had ten divisions of those men, our troubles here would be over very quickly. You have to have men who are moral... and at the same time who are able to utilize their primordial instincts to kill without feeling... without passion... without judgment... without judgment! Because it's judgment that defeats us.

conversion

From last night, posted first on tumblr (happens all the time nowadays):

just can't stop... it's like a drug.

good night prayer

for my sweet princess, may you sleep well tonight

Good night prayer by roleATL

Wait for her

... and now we're caught up. I'm at the stage now where I'm producing more than I can document.

This is a familiar sound, but it's been reworked and refined. It's the title song for a new collection. Enjoy.

Soviet vodka (live at the drunken penguin 2-19-11)

This is a really good one, it's role's first live set in 2011, an event for sure.

Morning lotus (jazz ver)

beyond control

... lost my Mediafire Pro account for a minute. Can't do that, I've got to much data up there, besides, y'all are still up on it!

... again, blogger is a few files behind, will catch up asap.

RF (role's take)

It had to be done.

TWEAK

Here's the vibe/track for a Friday night that you don't want to be like the hundreds of Friday nights before (question is, are you really gonna push the line?)



Here's some of the foundational tracks used:
FRI


SAT


... just some behind the scenes stuff.

speaking to the natives

Blogger out of step again. Check the tumblr for the most recent and role exclusives.
Here's today's yield:

(sooo) so tired of running around

bring that beat back.

(sooo) so tired of running around by roleATL

a remix of a mix from an earlier mix; done at 322 but the first one was at the cube, vexxxed as hell but a bit better now, thank you for asking.

40

let's get this out of the way, right now.
I'm 40 today! - That's right, happy birthday to me.

40 by roleATL

baby

for Joanna, for Valentine's day 2011

... and for my 932 post, bring out the showgirls.
Just kidding nothing that funny or remotely interesting here, unless you're really a weirdo; or so it seems.




not everything in life is on the house.

from the cube

my b-day party next weekend at Nic and Meg's in midtown ATL is gonna be an EVENT!
#FB invite will be on in the manana, including hotels; airfare is on you son.

when I get the time

... and now blogger is caught up.

introducing hebrew
A new collection of material for the transitional period between winter and early spring. Undoubtedly the pace at which I work will have this completed far before the deck and pool season of spring but hopefully its conclusion will be the beginning of consistent warmth.
A collection based on the desire to be counted as one of God's chosen children, as the Hebrews truly are.




Wayne Watt (you may recall him from his trap kit work on The Clap) brushed the skins on this organic, opening track.

I look forward to working more with Mr. Watt in the future. I am grateful for all accompaniment.

a different kind of wipeout

I was a little on sure of this one (another one from the cube) so it didn't make it to soundcloud; yet after dozens of reviews, perhaps it should have. It's got that signature sound you come her for.

In the hunt (sneaktip rmx)

Here's the one from yesterday, a affectionately titled, In the hunt (sneaktip rmx) since being in the hunt at the support center where I currently pay my bills (please God let this mustic finally do that) means you are ready to take calls, work.
I've done plenty of work tagged on bandcamp and tumblr as from the cube since my schedule has me there till 7 and I have several hours of manager free time to produce freshness for you.
However, yesterday I left at 5 to pick up Noah, in the heat of the end of battle - and yet I was still able to produce this without leaving my comrades in the lurch.

This concludes the SxDx series, pick up or wait for the physical media, coming soon.

you're like 2 almost 3 tracks behind, sorry. And more are on their way. Check the tumblr, what do you want me to say? Gez.

Tiger Tears

...was gotta get to the gym on time, but now it's time for the cube, see ya!

help me, help u

I just removed the secret download tag from cut; it's been downloaded over 200 times, I figure it must be at least worth a .25$ credit card transaction.

Should it remain free? I ain't gonna lie, Iz do gotta and wanna gets paid.

WELL?

This is something of a moral dilemma for me. I sure could use your help.

PB

role is now down with quality peoples, so rad.

Title track for SxDx, so fresh and so clean.



This one's on the house for tonight only.

tillsammans

There's nothing happy about this. This is maddening. I hate that I don't have the money right now to have a home for my children where they can all sleep under my roof, safe and sound. All I do is keep on producing this music, hoping it'll take off so I can get the house and attorneys it will take to free my daughter so she can be safe with her Dad from her mom's boyfriends and boyfriends roommates and so my oldest son will want to live with me, at least try it out. Divorce is a special hell for believers who love their children but don't have the blessing yet of cash.

so who won the superbowl? Jimmy crack corn, I'm outta step like minor threat

Love this.



Noah hanging at 322 with his Dad. Good times. Glory to God.

now you're caught up! This is the first track from the SxDc series, a kind of homage to San Diego.

The bandcamp and soundcloud have all but obsoleted the way I shared music with you for the last couple of years.
They make it easy to share and sell this music.
(sell being operative, the more sells the more resources are available to make more and at arguably higher quality.)

But I digress. This music is made out of love for it you and above all else, literally; God.

The credits on most al of the bandcamps list God, family and friends; or G/F/F for short.

I'm a believer.

Now check this out. The latest Mediafire stats. People are still loving the jams we shared with you years ago.

Particularly, The Night Fox stuff. Interesting. Too bad Asha tries so hard to be like everybody else (at least from my view, come on a girl band called wife, so cliche. yawn.
,,, And don't get me started on Alan. We haven't spoken in years and that's a shame but ok. Life moves on and I wish him well

- but I digress.

Check the stats:

4U

Here's the swwooner for you u luvvers, actually produced during the same session as on my knees, right before it actually. I wasn't so sure of it, so I had to make another one, more party less holding hands in the moonlight.
Lord knows we could all use more holding hands in the moonlight.

Here you go.

.. of course it's all about trust right?

on my knees

tumblr/blogger, y'all are 3 tracks behind bandcamp/soundcloud

On my knees by roleATL

This was dropped at like 2 on Friday (technically Sat morning), fitting for the Jameson, scuffies.

olive skin

... last post before I get domestically busy


The tumblr is really getting fresh yo, check it.

girlsongrill

Now here's a slice of clear skinned Americana

redstride

as my birthday nears, I wonder more and more why I bother.

I really am quit ok with all of this ending, and moving on to another plane; this time has here has shown me some beauty and love and I am grateful; but I am more and more lost in a wilderness of misery and in-completion.

I now know I wasn't meant to really pull this off, I've reached the plateau of what I could be even though something in my heart thinks knows I could do more, I could be more.

ET in the sky has confirmed, this is it. Making sub par broken beats and their equivalent on guitar, sitting in a cubicle and wishing for the life I only know in photos and movies.

My darling children, what is to become of them with a father like this? A hopeless dreamer who, despite his best efforts simply wasn't good enough

Now I almost don't even want to share this track with you. It's not like you're gonna "get it", that's just not possible.

goes

goes dropped on scarrzz on #MM (a couple of days ago)... why I explaining every thing (in brackets?!).

Anyways; like most of role's stuff it's super fresh and exciting, slightly knicked, but with total gold; audible on first listen.



PS - for you long time listeners the scarrzz concept (a refinement, only the best) is more alive than ever - role's soundcloud is /scarrzz.

I put this on intercesor just to balance out all that shoegazze.

See u there!
