Though this web log is more or less kaput, (not the least because I've sorta quit the internet, but also because too many people I know were reading it), I may still swoop in with useless announcements.
Upcoming music:
JP Jenkins / Joe Foster duo (rasbliutto), with one track featuring K. Scott Handley. reocorded at JP's in October.
English - 500 kilos de problemas (antilife) - duos with Bonnie Jones, both of us playing open delay pedals. (recorded late 2004 ath the hagwon in seoul)
Hong Chulki / Joe Foster / Choi Joonyong (balloon & needle) - trio with the astronoise boys, should be done any day now. recorded in early-mid 2004 in seoul.
Foster Jenkins Eubanks Trio (Ferret Javelina Ewe Trio?) - (rasbliutto) recorded around the same time as the other rasbliutto above, but with different results.
Dan Brown and Dan Reynolds - Dan=Dan (rasbliutto) the third, and probably final, installment of our work with the heroes Brown/Reynolds. Comes with a handmade hardcover book including writings and other utterances from the composers (music interpreted by me & Bryan Eubanks. Two discs: one recorded in Seoul Feb. 2004, one live in California Oct. 2004)
None of these will be very available, but some might appear at Erstwhile Distro or Jyrk Distro, and they'll all be in editions of 100 or less, which certainly should be enough.
The tourl in october was a blur (23 shows in 29 days!), and I'll mention some of the great people we met and/or played with: Bob Marsh, Leticia Castaneda, Mitchell Brown, Serge Baghdassarians, Boris Baltschun, David Kendall, Marlene & Bob, and I was especially happy to have lots of playing with Leif Sundstrom, who's doing great stuff with a record player. Peevish also had a show, guerilla-style, in a sports bar, instigated by Ezra, which featured a guest appearance by bar-patron "Yella," on vocals and exhortations. One of the most satisfying shows I've ever experienced.

Last week I played with Otomo Yoshihide, Axel Dorner, and Taku Unami (and all the usual Seoul players). They were great and it was especially great to hear Axel, about whom I'd heard so much. None of it was exaggerated, I'm pleased to report.
I may get to Tokyo and/or other Japanese places in June. Or somewhere else?
