2010 Plans

In 2010, I plan to finish recourding and release "Mountain," "Cough Syrup," and an as of yet untitled album. "Mountain" is entering it's final stages and "Cough Syrup" is being recourded late in the evenings when I can't sleep and the untitled album has about 11 or 12 demos right now. I can't wait to finish them and share them with all my friends old and new!

Big Love,
Michael

Inner City Blues

In 2008, I recourded some EPs. "Inner City Blues" was based on a trip I took to Chicago. I hope to revisit some of these songs in the future. The quality of these songs are not that good [clipping, poor mixing, etc.] but I believe it's important in the process of learning what works and what doesn't.

1. How I Left A Message From a Payphone In The Middle of Chicago
2. Yellow Green Fluorescent Buzzing Lights On the Train
3. Joseph Would Never Speak and Most Certainly Is

7. Dreams Out
8. Thank God It Wasn't Winter
9. Take Me To The Lake
10. Cigarettes. Payphones. Moviestars. Magazines. Churches
11. Twenty-One Planes and One Slept Around
12. I Found Notes In Their Beds

Take Me To The Lake

Dearest Friends,

I will be starting to use "All The Young Bloods of Baltimore" to follow bands that my friends and I are listening to. It will be a hub for Spirit Cat artists to post art and music that we are making and art and music we are into.

For now, "TAKE ME TO THE LAKE" will be a place for my friends to download my music. I'll start with the older albums and work my way to newer stuff.

Big Love,
Michael "Parallax" Bringardner
