Over the weekend, electronic noisemakers (and possible wizards), Sparklebomb and YesYes released a collaborative single to mark YesYes' departure from the city. "Our Blood is Made of Eagle$" is a short burst of amazing ideas, a wonderful cacophony barely contained by a droning beat. Garbled tape samples of vocals (possibly from Sparklebomb's enviable archive of lost phone calls) intersperse, gradually building in intensity until the track ends in a crash while also somehow vaguely reminding me of the disappointment I feel whenever I lose a game of Missle Command. Early 2014 looks to be a busy time for Sparklebomb as she recently announced the completion of her upcoming debut cassette. Funeral Beats. Stay tuned!
I removed the erase head from a tape recorder and Mike (YesYes) & I spent two or three nights trying to master the art of blind, seamless multi-tracking. Tape is a weakling - it gets distorted pretty easily when you're layering audio on top of audio with minimum volume control. All garbage considered, plus more, means that we produced about 15-20 duds and 3 or 4 somewhat-composed songs. As for the vocals you hear - Mike would sing, we'd rewind the tape trying to find the right spot, hit record, and hope like heck that I was singing in time with him.
In conclusion, removing the erase head of a tape recorder is a very neat idea to experiment with & everyone should find a recorder and a tutorial on YouTube & try it right this second.
live long and prosper and yolo,
Sparklebomb

Hello would you mind sharing which blog platform you're working
with? I'm planning to start my own blog in the near future
but I'm having a hard time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then
most blogs and I'm looking for something completely unique.
P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!
