some lightly polished turds have been released back into the wild for 'Cassette Store Day 2013'... available here...  http://oldsarge.bandcamp.com   ... information follows:   (not so old) sarge 1991-92 cassette demo s   previously ONLY available on cassette, now ONLY available digitally... contrary? moi? released to coincide with the perfectly ludicrous concept that is 'Cassette Store Day 2013', I will be the first to admit that this is an equally ludicrous concept... a selection of guitar and drum machine instrumental demos, recorded straight to cassette in my bedroom in my parents house in, for the most part, one take...with no overdubs or the slightest semblance of production values whatsoever... you have been warned.. . three guitars were used...my trusty Fender Stratocaster...an old Eko acoustic, with a pickup...a sub-Jack White quality electric 6 string I got as a gift from an old high school friend that I decided, somewhat optimistically,...

an extract from my impending essay/Beat novella:  ‘“Twitter? Now don’t get me started on that fucking shit…” The Social Networking Pheno-mena-mena-doo-doo-do-do-do (and the time we waste on it, Muppets that we are)’ catchy title, eh? it’s probably best to stop here if you’ve got a short attention span, or have any semblance of taste and decency remaining… …and, I'd like to make it clear to all and sundry that if I come across as a cynical, sarcastic, haughty, potty-mouthed, smart-arse know-it-all in this medium, well, that's because I am... ‘So, please don’t ‘Like’ any of my posts, it will only encourage me during periods of boredom to do more…’ ‘I KNOW…hil-larious…’ I couldn’t have put it better myself… anyway, I suppose if you’re going to use this medium, it’s probably best to get buck naked and jump right in there, so to speak, embrace it like a family member, disgraced in a sordid political scandal, just released from the local leper colony… but, it’s all so shamelessly sel...

new tracks have been uploaded to  http://oldsarge.bandcamp.com/   and  http://soundcloud.com/oldsarge   for your general ambivalence and disinterest... downloads and listens are free... there's some lo-fi clank 'n' drone, mangled and badly played blues, and some foolishness assembled some time ago on 'guitar hero world tour'... you have been warned... fin

'art'...really?... 'self referential bollocks'...well, yes, now you're getting it... it's called 'where did all the time go?'... for obvious reasons, really... fin

first, there was the album...quiet, by modern standards, don't you think? did someone accidentally knock the treble fader with their elbow when mastering it, giving it a dull, muffled feel? and what is all this audophillic bullshit about mastering from analogue tape...see all of the above? an impression of polished demos that needed a bit more work and inspiration... you have to ask, is this all by design, or just sheer bloody mindedness? an impression that it would have been fine as an additional disc of 'lost tracks' with another release, perhaps, but as a stand-alone album? oh, let me tell you, as a huge fan, i've tried and tried, tried to love it... but my inclinations are to turn up the treble, cut some of the tracks down to loveless-esque interludes between tracks, resequence it, remix it, make it louder, finish it off... maybe i need to wait for the digital remaster to come out, ha ha ha... perhaps i was expecting something of a bigger progressi...
