The weather is thick, chirps and squeaks from Japan.
All the night, the insects gurgle. Listened to Schimpfluch-Commune Int. this evening
in headphones, from the inside. Eyes go funny with such lunacy, wonderful sounds
by Eb.er and crew make for an enchanting Monday evening meditation experience.
Also, this evening, old noise from Emil Beaulieau as he ravaged the Relapse records catalog.
Such a delightful way to start the week.

It certainly was a cold day in Japan when I recorded, mixed and produced “Noise Bikini.”
This track is available from the “Abyssinia” album available through “Audiobot” in Belgium.
I was listening to a lot of the Osaka artist, Nesin’s material at the time of this recording
and probably topping it all off with a nice dose of Corrupted. Fans of Nesin or Corrupted
might take some solace in this piece. Please download the track, here:

Lapdancer – Noise Bikini

Just a reminder for all of you psychotic noise-heads out there, the “lapdancer” podcast is still active. You can find a lot of unreleased material, remixes and other archived material. My “medical” series will be arriving soon. As soon as I cross the Pacific.

A project that I have been involved with for some years now, “The Special Dental Team” will release a 5 song EP this year on a yet to be announced record label. The EP will feature five of the best pieces from our 2003 trilogy (“Vacations and Other Vacations,” “The Indeterminacy of Existence” and “Career Ender”).

We have some labels in mind, but are open to working with DIY/independent labels looking to promote unsolicited artists (preferably labels with an attention to artistic detail and diversity). If you are interested, please leave your contact information in the form of a comment or email the webmaster directly for more information. A link to your label is also appreciated.

Special Dental Team’s onstage fervor and groove oriented technical arrangements have been praised by fans in the Midwest and a slew of national American touring acts.

Thank you for reading.

Welcome and good day. Thank you for your interest. Today, August 16th, 2008 is the grand opening of this Lapdancer site. A short introduction will follow in the coming days as we sort through our lists, make new plans and brew a fresh pot of coffee. For now…

The summer in Northern Michigan is crisp and immediate; the echo of the trees at night, the coyotes, the coating of stars: summer. Returning to Japan will come all to soon. The penetrating sweat, the shrinking streets and horizons will pave the way for fall, for the bleak tide of winter. I welcome these things as I welcome the fresh possibilities, which can blossom out of them. The fresh possibilities of sound creation, of “noise,” of action in solitude.
