Artwork by Drek for an upcoming cassette covering some of last year. Garbage Throat, is a newer 40 minute release. Nerve surgery inevitable. Throat opens up and lets out some rot. Holy Zoo is a garbage truck under the viaduct sniffing ammonia. Holes in the fence and tents behind cinder blocks. Ends with seahorse tea and a boat on the marina watching mist roll over. Other music made with Holy Zoo via Skype
Updates on house show recordings, self-released music, dead beat writing from Phoenix artists.

Soundflower Skype and Ableton Play Nice
We’ve written a new article on playing music with Skype. In this article we cover using MOTU, Soundflower, and Ableton to route audio through Skype. It uses no external wiring or mixers. This reduces potential latency from running in and out of your computer. Other audio interefaces should work well with this setup.

Arizona Literature Zine Review: Water Science
Archived; click post to view.
Excerpt: The secret agent at Middle Class Mirrors has released the second edition of their zine Water Science. The contributions are from Arizona writers and abroad, with some favorite local illustrators. The second release is a treat. For once, a zine’s poetry seems to shine stronger than its prose. If you dread flipping through a publication with terrible hope, no expectations, and shame – give this one a shot. Poetry highlights “High Orders in Pertrubation Theory,” presents an accessible, but engaging read. At first, it appears to be dense and almost an academic exercise. The kind of language that loses ears….

Good Hunger and Meth Itch
Archived; click post to view.
Excerpt: I wake up and try not to think about food, because the sky is pouring sun through my window and I slept hungry. I pour kibble into my dogs bowl, she sniffs it and walks around me wagging her tail. Waiting for me to eat, so she can eat. I can’t tell if she’s paranoid I’ll steal the food from her mouth, or if she needs to see me eat first. I open the door. The day is hungry too, eating little clouds like popcorn. Laughing at the show beneath it. My stomach is relocating last night’s desperate pickle around its…

Pigeon Religion – Warm Insides Cassette
Archived; click post to view.
Excerpt: Drone Errant has released a Pigeon Religion Cassette, recorded and butchered at Yobs by me, Gerald Biggs. Within the first 3 minutes of recording, I threw up a mixture of Sriracha and Tecate in my mouth. By the end of it, one of my bar stools had snapped in half. One of their friends appeared to be using the remaining portion as a suppository. This is what I get for unlocking my door… PIGEON RELIGION – “WARM INSIDES” CS Resurfacing their burnt scalps for a cassette release, Arizona’s Pigeon Religion offer up two new tracks of fuzzed out “punk” from their confused,…

Ongoing upcomings
Archived; click post to view.
Excerpt: Nixed the mp3 players. Enjoy the free downloads. More skype updates later this week. Hoping for new recordings and an updated “how-to jam with Skype.” In case you don’t want to read a long article – the basic rundown is you will always experience some type of latency from the audio interface, to your internet connection, and so on. Hungry Locust Broadcast Composite is a roughly finished mix where Holy Zoo’s recording was synced and layered with Filthy Grin’s, each side is panned slightly. It’s headphone music. We are going to test some different programs out there for a basic review….

Filthy Grin – Mouth Feeling Cassette Release
Cassette Insert
These are one take recordings from one synth, with one good hand. This tape is from a period of dealing with job loss, carpal and cubital tunnels.
One side is about sleeping on the coast, watching a dog roll in grass.
One side is about looking down the hallway of my arm, and trying to write my name on paper. Looking at the driver who shouts “fag” at you, and swerves his car towards your body.
