Late night

ok well finally got a track up for the Shoegaze project, it's very sparse and very well...nowhere near anything, but it's something.

So direct your browser this way:

Also while your there, listen to keely and Mitch Clem cause they are both Planes demos....as the myspace says

Random things around the room this eve.

Gene came over to work on Kid Fusion, which consisted of me doing laundry and him checking his myspace. Who knew hip hop beats were so hard to make? Lil' Jon makes it look easy



The act of, with the broken ESQ-1 in the background...I like Propagandhi....so what?



Cz 5000(which I am selling, if the 0 people who read this are interested) and the working ESQ-1



Artistic!



One of my favorite pictures ever, My buddy Jesse's senior picture, it's obnoxious and I love it and I've carried it around for some 4 years or so it's now attached to my amp...that I'll probably never move. Seriously, why do keyboard players need 300 pound amps? Why don't they all just run into the PA? I don't get it, yet I have one.

Makes no sense.


On another note, the shoegaze project is off to a rocky start I can't wrap my head around it. It's the opposite of planes. Slow, atmospheric, not-fast. Hopefully, it will come to me over the next week.

Numero Uno

I guess I should introduce myself, My name is Matthew.


I was in various bands across Oregon and Nashville Tennessee. these bands is/are/were:

The Cancer Years, Pinguino, Planes, untitled shoegaze project, Kid Fusion, and the original Morning After Spring.

I played guitar, in most, synths in some, and wrote a lot in others.

These are all bands no ones ever heard of unless you know me, so take that how you will.


That should be good enough for now.

As it stands, yesterday bleeding into today, Paul and I have started an unnamed shoegaze project. It will feature us and a guy from the band airplane to nowhere/Twilight Army who is moving up here.

He's on drums, I'm on guitar/synths, paul is on guitars/synths and most likely vocals.

We started preliminary tracks yesterday, and ended up with a short string part over some automated noise. So far so good.


Planes, is the main band I am in. I seem to have forgot how to do direct links. When I remember there will be links to everything.

Planes has been going on and off for about a year and a half. we have 8 songs that are all around 78% finished. Travis and I finished up the instrumentals on all but one Saturday and so tonight - Friday I am mixing and mastering the two that are now ready for that then hopefully finishing the 3rd(which makes 8) guitars on saturday.

track listing is as follows, in no apparent order:
1.Insomnia
2.Karmic Debt
3.For Hannah..
4.Greyhounds/Manhattans
5.Keely
6.Silversmithing
7.Escapism
8.Massachusetts

All in all, not bad for a demo.


THe last project currently in the works is Kid Fusion and Prof. Boom, which consists of MC Gene, and me on the whatever we think of. Basically a hip hop project in the veign of MC Chris, Grand buffet.

We haven't worked on it yet, I am awaiting Gene to get going, not sure if it will go anywhere and I am not sure I can be in three bands, work full time, and go to school.

I suppose, we shall see.

And here we go again....

I am starting this as a chronical of what we as Pinguino Productions(sometimes with Championship Vinyl records and sometimes without) are doing...I just made that name up, anyway, it will encompass what Planes, Kid Fusion and the un-named shoegaze band are all currently doing/recording/destroying, on a day by day basis. Hopefully I will keep it going. I like this effort more than I have liked previous efforts, as well. You can come and go and I can do what I will. There is no pressure. I can assuer you I will try to keep it as entertaining as possible. If all Goes well, maybe Paul or Travis will have a hand in the updates, and maybe whoever else I wrangle into joining.
