Hi, how are you?.

I hope this report finds you warm and well.

As the first order of business, I would like to wish Pacific Walker a VERY HAPPY RELEASE DAY for their incredible sophomore release "Lost in the Valley of the Sun" out today on Bluesanct!

Be sure to check out the second video from the album, "Shepherds" a few posts down.

In April, Water is the Sun will head out on a month's long tour on the eastern coast and midwest US.

Water Is The Sun is a mind-meld of Adam Parks (Timber Rattle, Lightning White Bison) and me.

In celebration of the tour, the Second Quarter Batch of the 2025 Examinations Tape Club will include the new Lightning White Bison full-length "The Wind-Brought Drum", as well as a special club only re-press of last year's Water is the Sun tour only release "Light of Field".

For those would like to receive a steady stream of magnetic tape goodness all year, JOIN NOW for only $96 POST-PAID WORLD-WIDE!

The final order of business for this meeting is a public service announcement.

Do you find yourself staring occasionally at a stack of videotapes, cassettes, DATs... micro-cassettes... and thinking, "I really should get these digitized?"

Well, VIDEO CALIBRATION is my new media archiving and digital transfer company... contact me to discuss your archiving needs!

Those are all the notes I have for this meeting.

Please find more detail on each agenda items via the link above.

Be well, be kind, drink tea.
Talk soon.

BE OUR VALENTINE... FEB 14, 2025


For the follow up to their self-titled debut for Bluesanct, Pacific Walker went in search of the occulted answers to cosmic inquiry, charting a star-crossed course across the elder seas of private-press new age cassettes and back-catalogue self-help tapes. Still waters run deep and from those depths, the guiding light they find may lead them to an eternity far beyond their third-eye ideologies. Like Ted Lucas on a brown tab from Gibby Haynes, our sonic travelers find themselves lost in the slushed waves of shadowy enlightenment, phasing through dimensions, space echoing across their minds. Sea-sick drones warble like the drug-thick tongues of true believers, while hymns of a scorched church policy are strum out into the endless sacred night. And even here, even now, from the soft blue underbelly of the colloidal aether come the kosmiche whispers of some kind of guru. An invitation. An invocation. A journey. Lost in the Valley of the Sun.
