Number Stations, secret service broadcasts, standard scary stuff.

A wild journey to the outer limits of radio cryptography and espionage as Simon Fanshawe enters the clandestine world of shortwave Number stations.

Are they the mad aural daubings of pirate DJs, an extraordinary and elaborate hoax or are they, as many believe, coded messages broadcast by intelligence services and governments to their agents in the field?

at this point i haven't seen her
she has slipped into darker secrets
out of nowhere / she is right here
singing beatles at an angle

the tattoo on her wrist that used to say LOVE
is now a big black bar
with a tiny seam
an incomplete broken ring

at this point i haven't seen her
i have slipped into darker waters
out of nowhere she is right here
first dance / last dance
somewhere over the rainbow

every time a bell rings, an angel falls apart

Digits - When You Look Inside

A huge mess but for the first song in like 4 years, I don't hate it. Best I could do mixwise. All done on my iPad and the vocals with my cellphone headset, ha!!

Oh... also, I think it's from a cat's point of view, if that matters.


Feather or string

The Fall for Pat

"77 Rusty Trombones" is the final studio album by legendary and influential Miami singer, songwriter and producer Clarence Reid aka Blowfly, the original nasty rapper. Reid has had a career spanning 50 years that saw him pen songs for Betty Wright, K.C. & The Sunshine Band and Sam & Dave among others. The new album is a return to the form of his classic releases including "The Weird World of Blowfly" that heavily parodied R&B hits.

Joan Shelley "Wild Indifference"

Edith Frost's album "Telescopic" was a big influence on a lot of my writing for this project. I thought I would make a sloppy version of her amazing track from that album as a bonus on the album. Thanks, Edith.  Recorded 2005.
