A compilation of music from a band I was in during High School is now up on I-Tunes and elsewhere. The recordings are pretty rough, but interesting :) Poppy's Grits on I-Tunes

I think it will be around 15 tracks.Mostly recorded above the 20th floor of Lake Shore Drive facing the lake.Had much of the music for awhile, but a few the songs needed lyrics, and had a pretty good writing streak over the past couple months.A rough draft has been sent to Brad... hope to be collaborating soon, like to snag some real drums in Ohio

So, a quick update... The recording process is slow but steady on the latest Frozen Inertia project... I think there's about 13 songs in various forms of completion. One has the most lyrics ever written in a Frozen Inertia song... hope it turns out well...Also, the periodic table remains our top download on I-tunes. Thanks to everyone who downloaded!

brad bought a i-mac to help with the recording process...Now both our ideas can work interchangeably through Logic :)we write, and send the files electronically and snail mail... so far, we have about 10 song ideas, some of which are pretty close to complete...

Happy Spring!The Periodic Table of Elements from Miss Steak is our top selling song on I-Tunes?This song was originally recorded on a 4 track recorder in 1998, in Canal Fulton, Ohio, on a spring afternoon in the back of Brad Palmer's parents porch. If I remember right, our friend Daryl Largent had the assignment of holding cowbells because we did not have a cowbell holder at the time. It's funny

Last year fimusic.org got 30,000 hits... Although a lot of websites get that in one day, it's still 10,000 more than what we received last year! plus we have no advertising budget, so I'm happy some people are hearing our music...On the forefront this year... I got my first Apple computer, and this has allowed for a new level of creativity to spark... So, working on new music... it's been fun...

Within the next week or so (Christmas?) the new Frozen Inertia Album "Miss Steak" will be released on CD Baby, and then on I-Tunes shortly afterwards...In the meantime, check out some fun on the official Miss Steak page:Miss Steak

I recorded a song over the weekend, it's called "Miss Steak", it's for a compilation of Frozen Inertia novelty songs. The song is about small towns, where the only night life is drinking coffee at 24 hour diners... at least when you're under 21...Right now I'm remastering (or remixing if I have to), the older songs for the compilation... Some are kind of rough quality, but I think the songs

In the past month, I had some difficulty with my recording devices... There's been a snap, crackle, and pop with my digital recorder... Last night I spent several hours troubleshooting... The good news is I found the problem was with something called "buffer-size", something that I wouldn't have to worry about if I had an Apple...I also bought a sideboard from IKEA to store all my recording stuff

So, FImusic.org got over 20,000 hits this year! Although, this is not much by the standards of "big websites", it's a great accomplishment for us considering we have no advertising budget... Actually, we have no budget...2006 may be an interesting year for Frozen Inertia...Over New Year's weekend I recorded a couple more songs for the new project... an R.E.M. and Tori Amos cover... This will be

So, a year ago "The First of the Fifth" CD was released, and has now appeared on I-Tunes today to celebrate its anniversary...

I visited Ohio a couple weeks ago and found about 50 cassette tapes of recordings that date back to 1994... I'm sure some will be very painful to listen to, but a project for the summer is to go through those tapes, and with new technology, fix up the audio, and publish the songs..... Many of the recordings include people I haven't been in contact with for years... It'll be time consuming but fun

we were played on Chicago radio 94.7's "Local Zone" radio show:http://www.947zone.com/Article.asp?PT=Programs+-+Local+Zone+-+Main&id=53837The DJ for the show, James VanOsdol, wrote me on he misses "good old, honest-to-God, indie rock". The airplay of the song was certainly a compliment, considering the mass amounts of CD's that are submitted for airplay. Here's hoping that this is foreshadowing

So, the CD and book is done! I figured I'd release it on November 2nd, 2004.The book is 58 pages, and covers lyrics, pictures, stuff about the songs, how it was recorded, where it was recorded, etc

All the music is packed away in boxes for a few days.. Moving to a new location in Chicago, actually just around the corner... I had my cousin here last weekend, and she put down some vocals for a new version of an old song.. I might add an extra bridge to it, which will make it the 3rd version of that song. I recorded the original in 2000 and then completely re-wrote it in 2002, and now I've

Most of the drums are recorded, Brad will be in Chicago this weekend with the wav. files, and then we'll mix it together with the rest of the music.. It should be fun.. The book is done except for the pictures, which still need to be developed..We're going to a block party in Chicago that feaure Modest Mouse and Death Cab for Cutie.
