being busy is it's own kind of drug... sometimes stimulant, sometimes depressant, sometimes hallucinogenic...120 MINUTES MIXTAPE

so google is a bitch and keeps taking this tape down fer no good reason... but peeps keep asking me  to put it back up... so here we go again... this is the original post with new links fer the download... tracklisting is embeded in the file.
me and oOoOO are gonna be doin' a new 120 mix soon... 

sorry it's been a second... and then some. i've been working on a lot of projects. one of which was this mixtape. i actually finished it weeks ago, but again, the overwhelming crazy that is my life as of late has kept it on the back burner. but here it is, in all its random glory... the particularly amazing part is that side b was mixed by none other than oOoOO... yep that's right, one of the high priests of "witch house" has helped to bring you a fabulous romp through crazytown filled with everything from creeptastic meena kumari remixes to...



120 Minutes is a club night i'm throwing here in san francisco... a video dance club and showcase for independent music... on august 28th LIGHT ASYLUM is playing... it's gonna be absurdly amazing.

side a


side b

death rattle.

yesterday, my niece asked "don't you wish you weren't alive all the time, so you could lay down in heaven."

word.
there's a company out of the UK called AND VINYLY that will press your ashes into vinyl. so now you can haunt 30 of your closest friends with a mixtape of your mortality.
here's a rough draft of mine... in case it comes up before i have a chance to get something more formal together.
(click trax fer mp3's)
nick cave and the bad seeds-the mercy seat
johnny mandel-suicide is painless
daniel knox-ghostsong
rocket from the tombs-ain't it fun
coil-who'll fall
i think i might also record my own version of dust in the wind sometime in the next couple weeks.

beyond all that, last saturday was pretty ill... so much so that i just said ill. we had the first installment of 120 MINUTES (a night i'm throwing here in SF).  LIGHT ASYLUM played an amazing show,  oOoOO, Harrison, and  Josh killed it with their DJ sets... and i felt solid on my audio/video set...

speaking of... check out this video for king night. honestly... no idea if it's official... been busy as fuck and out of the loop lately... but, regardless it's hot as all shit. dark and tripped out... magic.

Salem - King Night from Sean Michael Pheanis on Vimeo.

cornell's library has witches.

this is officially my new favorite resource.
"It documents the earliest and the latest manifestations of the belief in witchcraft as well as its geographical boundaries, and elaborates this history with works on canon law, the Inquisition, torture, demonology, trial testimony, and narratives. Most importantly, the collection focuses on witchcraft not as folklore or anthropology, but as theology and as religious heresy."


i will be going through it piece by piece until i've picked it clean...

and then likely dive back in for a more detailed account.

i promise to offer up bits and pieces along the way.
...in the meantime here is a quick mix i made with respect to witches and magic makers to hold you over until i finish some larger projects.
