 - for Cindy.

powerofreverb - shiny objects

Back in the day; in the mid 90's; I was a much younger man. My pursuit of a life of art and culture and love seemed equistation; galant.
I won the affection of many maiden's put I was always ill at ease. My art was dis-focused and under-exposed...(what has really changed).
I met my first wife in these days. We rushed through courtship and got to know each other while she was carrying our first child (that's her on the cover, she was 22 when that photo was taken; taken in Manhattan).

I met Scott Carol through a mutual friend Steve. Steve and I lived with Matt in a house with a half-pipe next door on Boulevard in Grant Park. This was when EAV just Heaping Bowl and Park Central Pizza.
Anyways, Scott and his girlfriend Becka would come over almost everynight; we'd drink and play loud music till like 3 in the morning while the girls hung out, tried to watch TV and made pot brownies while swiggin' 40's (JK)। We formed as Mercy Seat and made a ton of recordings on a real to real and on cassette recorders; one of those tracks made it to the powerofreverb demo; shiny object's.

It was called Norwigian Eyes... it uses rich echo guitar, nice and warm Marshall amplification; and a nice tambourine.


Here's the download


The other three cuts are tape loops and mixes done with my trusty Tascam 4-Track. I loved that thing!


**** Lost In Tribeca is a warm, fuzzy memory of Cindy and I and our vacations in Manhattan, holding hands and smoking Marlboro Reds while shopping in Soho and on the Lower East Side; before Brooklyn was hipster heaven of course. It was recorded in our trailer in Sugar Hill, GA. Joey's drums are slightly audible but perfect. The warm reverb from my 71 twin running thru a 90's Vox wah, is very nice. grab a cup of coffee; ouch it's too hot

- Lost In Tribeca is currently misssing, sorry - 3.20.10



Channel has interesting texture to it; it's got this great flute in it; and I want to think I overdubbed it with Cindy's Yamaha keyboard from the 80's. It sounds like Bradford could have influenced it but he probably was probably in High School and we hadn't met. big boom for bass (I would drop E on my jazzmaster and do bass overdubs with it).


dwnld it हियर



This last jam from the CDR was a song I used to skip over all the time in the car, too spooky; I thought. It's all about loneliness and obscurity... and this is while I was 26 married with a young son and wife, employed and promoted....hmmm
Of course these concepts still common in my work today. Of course now I am 37, divorced and unemployed; so go figure.

Surprisingly the track was titled All alone

downer



Oh, ps... that email address listed on the inserts and covers; no bueno Haven't logged into it in years, couldn't even recall the passport. If your further interested communicate thru the blog.

One, last thing; if you think I'm nastalgizing about the past with what I said about Cindy and stuff; FU.

La Trahison

excuse my poor pronunciation, but...

Oh les choses que je souhaite que je pourrais refaire et dire plus de, oh les manières je n'aurais dedans jamais données à donner dedans, mais hélas il était non seulement moi qui a voulu être libre, mais vous avez fait aussi, toutefois plus nous sommes devenus au " étroits ; freedom" ; plus j'ai voulu notre amour au bout - mais il étais trop tard

What Do I get & Exit 13

Ok, we're almost done with the TBR catalogue - and good riddance! Just kidding. That music was really honest and really good, and really under-exposed.
But such is life.

This first jam comes with the original TBR line up, Allen on the PDP trap-kit, Cindy on the SG bass, and yours truly on the red dot and on the mic.

We had Travis come over and record us, we were so giddy, well at least Allen and I were. Cindy was too cool half the time or not into it the other half... can't tell. I do miss her from time to time; she gave me a family, but then she took it away too.
My story might end alone, smashed on the front of a northbound Marta train leaving Arts Center; but then it could end up on Rob's House records and with the love of a woman I truly love.

Enough of all that, Kick out the jams!


What do I get?


This is a song I'd like to visit again someday... are you cool enough to comment with a reference?

Fine, you can
download it then.


Exit 13
This is a very B-side jam named after the exit of where Eric and I would play, the AAT office-space. Eric drums here, I do the rest.

Why waste your time?

Why waste your time is a really honest foundational type of song,the type you don't always share and expect only to be niche and b-side, the type I secretly love and listen to over and over again.

Yeah, that's Cindy on the cover. I may never be completely without her ghost, she comes to me every now and then, and gracefully, she still muses and chants me toward creativity and sharing.
