   About The Colonies

'The deepness of Tom Waits vies with the lightweight fluff of Evan Dando
- an eclectic art that gives meaningless arse a very wide berth.'

~ Phil Macy, Sides of Unequal Length ~

.................................................................................................................................

~ CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE BIOGRAPHY ~

After seven long years in the jungle a precocious child prodigy...spawn of notorious talents...
a cunning ability to change colours...addictions, malpractice ...evacuated, ostracized and left stranded...general suffering etc.
Supported them, them and THEM at that place THERE...association begets association...
a perfect opportunity for name-dropping...place fitting slang here,'_ _ _'.

OR...


Was a cold prostitute turning warm tricks for rent...shoveled coal...dug deep dark ditches in the crisp white snow...kicked out of the navy...recovering bisexual gypsy... only a part-time christian.

OR...


A catatonic alcoholic mountain climbing guitarist...No, really!
Committed in LA...squatted in Paris...busked in Tokyo...used a can-opener and a ball-point pen to escape...intense fear of flying, spent six months in a leaky boat...bribed an official, forged a passport, grew a beard...so much part of the scene it hurts...rung by rung, lied a path up the ladder...
...a timeless tale of hardened endurance.

You rang, you called

The tracks you've been working on, they have a worrying amount of accordian on them. And that onion & garlic necklace with the stripey shirt...hmmm
The Bottle Brunettes





Nov 22 2007 6:19 PM

Think of it as a cyber-supertanker of praise heading your way Mr. Producer....
The Bottle Brunettes





Nov 22 2007 1:43 PM

Hmmmm - I'm listening to a collection of tracks that make me wonder if you should reconsider any conventional release/distribution plans and just auction each copy individually at Christies or Sothebys...an overwhelming and staggering piece of work, including production of swooping sophistication, sublety and delight.

*ROUSING CYBER-APPLAUSE*
