puppy vs. dyslexia- against all todds

recorded in 2005, with final tracks added and mixed in 2011, and now finally released in 2013 thanks to magnetic south!

good times...deck your tape.

from magnetic south:

artist: Puppy vs. Dyslexia
title: Against All Todds
format: C66 [TYPE I - pro-dubbed]
released: 05/23/13

Magnetic South is pleased to present the (mostly) first time packaging of inscrutable Kentuckianian rare birds' 2005 studio work. Puppy inhabited it's own relentlessly google-eyed un-naturalist universe haunted by nude, Lisa Frank-headed contortionists where ritualistic sensibilities blurred the boundaries of sexual horror and adorable fluffs. The sound of depraved children blasted by speedy acid, boredom, and Boredoms that escaped to develop a unique lexicon of manic trance and transformational shamanic hootenanny.

Glossy full color double-sided insert & pro-dubbed clear cassette with white imprint inside clear hardshell case.

aurora dorey alice. aurora, colorado. the first one makes makes me really happy, the other doesn't. 
i prefer to be happy, and stay that way. 

dorey is rad, and her approach to sound-making is very quite taser.
she performed at an art event i was a part of in bloomington, indiana. it was terrific to see this action again. 

we also share a birthday every year.

joshua brennan

joshua brennan's work is extremely taser factory. i've enjoyed it for quite some time, but only recently got around to looking him up web style. he did his mfa printmaking thing at IU. i always looked forward to seeing his new work at SOFA gallery during the school year. it never failed to really get me going, so much so that i would end up drinking way too much and would have to leave.
i wish we had had the opportunity to talk more about things or hang out while we were in the same town, but it never seemed in the cards. someone spoke to me about similarities in our work once, but i didn't get it.
yeah! don't be a fool like me, and wait forever to check out his site! there is so much brushed over content and style in his pieces...it gouges the depths of my mind. these edgy clusterfucks i've attached here are just the tip of the 'riceberg. his site is totally stacked with work of many different makes.

i especially enjoy the "floor and table" series in the drawings section.
