2005年10月07日(金) ハゲちんの未発表曲
ハゲちんがREMと平行して、初期の頃にやっていたインディなプロジェクト(バンド)の音がどうやら聞けるらしいです。でも私にはmy spaceの使い方が判らなくて聞けないのですが。トライできる人はトライして見てください。以下、バンドの紹介と、アドレスなどです。
Rebirth Via Algorithm: Around 1981 or so, an art-oriented music project took shape for a short time in Athens. Well, yeah, there were a ton of them, but this one significantly included Athens musicians/ personalities Michael Stipe, Lee Self, Lynda Stipe, David Pierce, Linda Hopper and Neil McArthur. The group, dubbed Tanzplagen, can best be described as a foray into echo-laden bass, ethereal guitar progressions and danceable rhythms. Although the band did some limited recording, there was never any official release. For years, bootleggers have taken advantage of this fact, but now one kind soul has made a few tracks available over at

It's hard to describe how absolutely sought after this stuff was once upon a time. Let's just say it's the only time I've ever paid $15 for a homemade cassette at a record show. Yes, I'm a big, old dork. Now you can enjoy it for free.
