hello from the QEG! dj empirical here, with a few newsworthy bits of information.



first, schädel wanted me to thank everyone who came out to see The Black Fives at the Mockbee on monday. There were a ton of people there, and that always makes the show better! Rumor has it that the live recording from that show will be available sometime soon; we'll let you know.



plus, there are a couple pictures up from the recent Paperback cd release show that i played at. check it out here.



also, today (12/22) marks my first bit of published journalism! theoretically (since I haven't seen it yet), today's edition of CityBeat, a local free paper, should contain my interview with Spencer Yeh of Burning Star Core, recent winner of a 2004 Cincinnati Entertainment Award in the category of Experimental/Electronic. It's free, so pick it up and check it out, in the column "Locals Only". (Thanks to Spencer!)



if you're in need of something a bit out-of-the-ordinary to listen to, i also recently curated an online mp3 compilation. it contains over a dozen mp3s of illegal (e.g., sample collage), experimental, and unusual music, including the entire live set from The Black Fives in Cleveland from october. Oh, and even though the mp3s are free, please, if you enjoy the tracks, support the artists! with a few exceptions, these artists are all, for the most part, NOT rich, and depend on sales to eat. sometimes

literally.

(Thanks to Philo of illegal art for the opportunity!)

I think that's all the news for now. Feel free to email me or check the website (quahogs-ent.com) for more info.



later!
