The Funk!!!

Bootsy Collins is pretty much the god of the bass guitar.  The guy makes it look so effortless.  Damn, I wish I could play bass like that.  Love, love, love it!

Paranoia Room page over at reverbnation

Got a profile for my electronic project, The Paranoia Room, over at ReverbNation.  The Party With Tina ep was The Paranoia Room's first ever release back in 2006.  It is currently available on the ReverbNation page for free download.  In the process of getting the mp3's onto the site, I made a few new versions of a song called "Lost Again" from that record.  I have a version that is half the normal speed of the original and another that is about a third of the speed of the original.  That version is over 12 minutes long!!!  I'll get those new versions posted soon.  They're pretty insane.  I'm also working on getting a live set together with my drum machine/ sampler/ keys/ toys/ laptop/ etc. but the logistics of doing this crazy music live are a bit daunting.  Oh, and here's the artwork for the Party With Tina downloads.  Go here for free download!!!

Some new songs posted.

So I'm in the process of getting mp3's of all my old releases up onto the web in some form for download.  I thought I had found a handy place to let all those songs live with Reverbnation.  But, it appears I have already run into the wall in terms of storage space there.  I was about two songs short of having the 1st 2 Eula Mae records posted there for download.  But, alas it was not to be.  All of The Catbird is available there for free download and most of the very first record, The Iris Sessions.  I guess I might end up having to pay somebody for that kinda thing.  Drag.  Here's where you can stream/download most of the songs.



Still working on setting up downloads of each album directly from this blog.  Hoping to see that materialize here shortly.

Circuit-bent Shenanigans

Thanks to everyone who has already made contact with me since I started this blog.  The support is really appreciated.  This morning, I repaired a circuit-bent toy that I modified last summer.  I'm excited to play it again (especially through my 808.)  The kids are sleeping at this moment, though, so I have to settle for posting this video from last summer.  The mutant "Talk & Learn Alphabet Toy" that just returned to life may be one of the toys I'm playing in this. 

I'm gonna make a new video tonight featuring the Alphabet Toy.  I'll upload it when it's finished, so you can have a laugh.  Also, there's a new ReverbNation page for The Paranoia Room project.  I can't remember the link, though.  Haha...  I'll post it when the fog clears.  Yer Pal, Jabbo

(My daughter Iris does guest vocals on one of these.  She was 5 at the time...  Haha.)

Hi.  I'm Jabbo.  I make strange music and visual art.  This is the first official post of my new blog.  This blog will serve as ground zero for all the projects under the Subvert From Within label.  I'll be giving away free downloads from my band Eula Mae, as well as my electronic project, The Paranoia Room.  I'll also be linking to things I think are cool/interesting, as well as all the things my crazy friends are doing.  New music will be posted regularly, as well as opportunities to score limited edition artwork and vinyl.  So, check back often.  Oh, and dig my hat...  Thanx, Jabbo

In the meantime, how about checking out my artist page over at ReverbNation...  Y'er a pal!
