a bite clean through your tongue - there's blood a'wye, a blood-splattered keyboard (it's a 'kin mess).
Deathpodal is a solo music project by someone called Al Doesn't Like You Anymore.
Named after a failing and almost defunct entertainment capsule, he played his first show in Stavanger, Norway in 2003. Deathpodal has just completed recording Exu____Wow! his debut EP, due for release 2009. If you want to get in contact simply send a message or leave a comment.
Deathpodal has supported the likes of Hookers Green No. 1, Circulus, Paul Research (The Scars), Uncle John & Whitelock, Boy Lacks Patience, Smithwork, Pete McConville, Las Gambas Pil Pil, Amber, Dumkoppf and The Jinx. He has been in Dumbracket, The Martha Dumptruck Massacre, Masamune and Fighterplanes.
"Deathpodal - man, mystery or soon-to-be living legend? There are many theories, but either way its clear that he is a sublimely talented artist whose music has a fragile beauty perfectly suited for a live setting. Whether its a transcendent triumph or a muddy swamp-soup of madness, his comeback is sure to be fascinating." - Michael MacLennan, The Herald
"I am a proprietor of muzak, and I concur the music is good. Transcendent. Like revisting Picasso's blue period. I appreciate Deathpodal's candour." - Paul Pable
Deathpodal does not condone the Murdoch empire but is a hypocrite.
Your newest tune is a 'kin TUNE, by the way. Been a while since I passed through. Hope you aren't getting into too much coup-organising or human trafficking and the likes.
I am doing ok, just shuffling on I guess! Definitely not visiting the damn exciting places you are! You still based in Edinburgh? Or is your main office now a small island in the pacific? Death Island, population Al?
That's cool, glad to hear you're well. Japan's a country I've always wanted to visit; they seem to be about 50 years ahead of the rest of the world, and the people appear to be on the cutting edge of complete insanity.
I'm okay. My hopelessly amateurish drumming still adorns the music of a couple of Edinburgh bands, so that's okay, I guess. All pretty much status quo at the moment. Maybe see you when you get back. N.

Alan Courtis was of course an integral part of the infamous Reynols, and has been involved in countless collaborations with names such as Pauline Oliveros, Kawabata Makoto, Campbell Kneale, Lasse Marhaug, Dylan Nyoukis, Culver.
Aaron Moore is best known as part of Volcano The Bear, described by The Wire as "producing some of the finest, wildest British music of the last 10 years on record and on stage”, and revered for their peerless releases on labels such as Beta-Lactam Ring and Nurse With Wound's United Dairies. He's also one third of Amolvacy (along with Dave Nuss of No Neck Blues Band), and the Paris-based Textile Orchestra.
Usurper (Ali Robertson - Giant Tank, Malcy Duff - Missing Twin), Edinburgh local stand-up bending forward minimal graphical noise art duo, will be joint together with Daniel Rutter.
Foredell Research Unit (aka Freaser Burnett), is one of finest scholars dedicated to power drone phenomenon with most modest and sincere scientific mind. The night's presentation will also include Grant Smith. Psychological tranquillity exist through large-amplitude-vibrating fluid.
Hey mate, I won't make the curry thing but said to Gav I was very keen to hook up with you guys at some point in the night. I can't remember where youse are going but a bunch of us are going to Stereo to see Errors and dance like mad fuckers. It would be special if you could make it x
Thanks for the message, I see you know Fergus from The Violence Jackoff stuff, if you want to say Hi to Fergus then feel free to add 'Obscure Desire Of The Bourgeoisie' (in our top friends) as that's his page which he mans himself. I take care of the Projekt A-ko stuff. He has his fingers in too many pies, that man!
Got the files from Steve, and they're now in the capable hands of Wes and Paul... we'll see what comes out. Steve was disappointed we didn't want to use his services and the "analog warmth" of his "half a million pounds" mixing desk. Ah well.
Cheers man, hope you have a good fest too... I heard there was an NHS-fail. Sorry to hear it man!
