Greetings! To those of you in the northern hemisphere, i trust you
are enjoying your summer! and to those in the south, keeping warm??
I'm trying......at least i'm trying....
okay......now, to those who find the yahoo group approach to crude cd
sales stunted, I have good news, no it ain't complete, but THE
official crude site should be launhed late 04, jan 05. a bit of time
i know but it'll be worth the wait. I'll include flash animation,
writing, incidental music, and of course, ecomm. Crudecommerce.
Considering sale of cds as kit-sets, jpg and wavs direct to you. How
many of you would find that method pleasing? It seems to be the way
of the 'future' ,,so let me know if i should go with it.
Played a live gig a week ago with crazed ex-new yorker S.T.U.D, a
backing-cd-wih-vox solo act. wild. I'm doin the same these days,
seasoned with sax and dirty synth. On the recording front i've just
commited the 'tekno' to a data cd- it's all on one, if you want it,
its $100 NZ. thats fair in my opinion. MTel are about to release one
of the ten in th next 'artless intent' installment. May not be for
everyone,,but after that, the sixth and last of the US distro
experiment will be the original 'Sax Serpentine' album, which spawned
the 'sax serpentine remix' ,,which of course is out now at that site.
The sicks titles will stay on the site 'till they've all been
scooped, might be years, ican wait. a jedi must learn patience.
I'm about to record 'Sax Serpentine 3' , and mix down and avant-
glitcher epic called 'The Gel'
Considering gigging in Melbourne australia in the coming months. Does
our australian member know of any good venues for the CRUDE to [play
there? I'll be lookin for somewhere to stay too so..i dunnow,
consider it. I'm good company. I'll bring the booze. well as for
life, its a tirade of 'cunts' and 'fuck offs' percolating through the
walls of my head and little smacks of admiration from a micro,,,nano-
community ...
also, Aklass and Godrekkidz of auckland. NZ are re-working their site
and there will be new crude mp3s there from the 'Nanocreep' working.
The link is provided below.
A REQUEST : to the treasured members of my group, my virtual
shareholders as-it-were, I ask of you this: if possible, i would like
you to maybe copy and distribute the catalogue [whatever you have] to
friends, associates, music lovers. Please turn people on to my stuff
if you deem it worthy. Do' have to go overboard, but if its easy,
please play my stuff to people of send a link or too to friends.
Cheers.

also, I am considering starting up a kinda'net0guide' online mag
which spouts out countless interesting links. Anyone here into that
idea?
anyway, sorry if this is all too much, but as you have joined this
group i assume you are open and receptive to the rantings of the
Crude. Peace be with you. Matt M , late August 2004
If anyone wants a former catalogue fired through, lemme know. some
items are still tape-only, which is good.
