Video - "Slowly Losing Hope"

Here's a short video I made for the song "Slowly Losing Hope" from The Catbird.  The record was recorded in 2010 and I released most of the songs individually through MySpace and ReverbNation.  Maybe a dozen or so copies of the physical cd were ever made.  The Catbird was the second album I put out under the Eula Mae name and is one of the strangest things I have recorded to date.  I was heavily into circuit-bending at the time, so...   Finally, the record is being released as a whole.  The official 2012 version is the 3rd release from Subvert From Within Records and can be downloaded from Mediafire for free at this link: Eula Mae - The Catbird

Big thanks to all who have made contact and supported my efforts in any way.  Y'er awesome.  -Jabbo

Eula Mae - The Catbird album. Free download!

Here's the latest from Eula Mae. The Catbird is the 3rd official release from Subvert From Within Records.  I recorded this back in 2010.  I think I was still recording to cassette with the 4-track then.  I was also heavily into circuit-bending at the time.  Hence, the non-stop sound of toys going crazy in the background...  Most of the drums are from my old Alesis SR-16.  (Though I always called it Chatterboxxx. :-)  This is also around the time that the SP-808 came into my life.  Yep, a real sampler instead of tape loops.  Used the sampler with all the vocals.  In my typical fashion, the record is a hodgepodge of sounds and styles.  Post-metal guitars, old-school beats, and lots and lots of electronic noise.  You can download the album from Mediafire for FREE at this link. Eula Mae - The Catbird

Big thanks to everyone who has downloaded the first two SFW Records releases as well as everyone who has made contact or in some way been supportive.  Believe me, I can use all the support I can get.  Haha.  Peace.  -Jabbo

Videos: "Hum" & "Falling Snow"

Here's a couple of short videos I made for songs from the Party With Tina record.  (Available as a FREE Mediafire download. The Paranoia Room - Party With Tina)  I shot the footage and assembled these over the holiday break.  It's been fun learning to work with the video software, and creating visual imagery to accompany the songs has been an interesting process.

This is the video for "Hum".

And here's the video for "Falling Snow".


I was kinda annoyed recently to find another band on Youtube suddenly using the Paranoia Room name.  I've been recording under that moniker since 2004, so it kinda sucks to have someone else come along using it.  The other Paranoia Room is some sorta spanish-speaking garage band.  I'm not sure where they're from and I wish 'em all the best, but like I said, it's just sort of annoying to have someone else fucking with the name.  I had been planning on releasing all my new electronic stuff under the Gridcrawler name eventually anyway, but I guess I'll have to start sooner than I had anticipated.

As far as the Gridcrawler project, recent computer problems have brought all my new music composition to a screeching halt.  I'm hoping to get my computer issues resolved this week and get a new copy of FL Studio.  I'm gonna incorporate the Massive VST into my setup and see what I can do with that amazing little plugin.

Holiday vacations almost over, but it's been a lot of fun.  Now the countdown to summer break begins.  Haha.  Thanks for checking in and HAPPY NEW YEAR! 

Yer pal,
