The chronicle continues, deepening the legend… Out Under Streets serves as a milestone in the profuse and vastly intangible catalog of Bug Bus Piano – a decade into the cult project’s existence, this album stands as its first LP. But Bug Bus Piano, the originator of Hard Ambient, is perhaps better understood as an outlook or world unto itself. At any given moment it is a spirited performance of hyper-ambivalence, a refuge and processing center for personal history, populist strife and achievement, a besieged utopian commune. Out Under Streets is the newest export of this philosophy and perhaps the finest point of entry yet into all that is Bug Bus Piano. Far from didactic, the journey underground and back again concept which structures the record serves as a vehicle to consider what lies beneath the potholes in our pavement and centuries of cracked sidewalk. Every demolition or collapse and each successive failure at putting the pieces back together again. Having received the blessing of Carriswheel, Stern Records is proud to inaugurate itself with a major handmade ambient statement by Bug Bus Piano.

i woke up to a...

Artist: Ilovelife
Title: I love life
Recording Length: 2:40
Recording Year: 2008
Format: Digitized from cassette found in WMBR 88.1 FM station, IASAC Archive shelf. J-Card notes read: 
"Ilovelife - A: I love life / B: Basement jam
Guitar: TM
Drums: MS
Recorded at Ram Ranch, Allston, April 2008”

Archival Notes: "TM” on J-Card likely refers to Taha Mahanian, who attended the Institute as an undergraduate between 2006 - 2010. Campus group archives and zines show that Taha was active in WMBR programming and live events, as well as staging independent outdoor jams with various bands he activated on campus using PA gear borrowed from friends at Berklee School of Music. Mahanian played in several punk and emo bands during his time at MIT, each with seemingly brief lifespans and was involved with local open mics as well. There are no other tapes or recordings attributed to the Ilovelife project, and the identity of “MS” on drums is unknown, but likely an MIT or Berklee collaborator. Work from Taha's projects as well as under his own name is found elsewhere throughout the IASAC tape archives. Note that the majority of Side B of this tape is taped over with an audiobook passage.

Ilovelife - I love life (2008)

over as it begins

no presence without absence

and with so much of everything,

only so little presence is necessary

and what of the black

and what of the death

and what of the blood

it falls

inescapable

can there be such a thing

as a playground after

the earth-shattering

ludens malfunction

another man

another paper

another surface

another gesture

and still

every man bleeds

WORK MUSIC II

Look for a clue
Look for me bruised
Everything was stress induced
Look for me too
Hide and seek, I’m alone for hours
Mom’s not home
I took all the photos down from the wall at her house
I guess it’s a way to get back
I guess it’s a way to get in touch

My first apartment smelled like an ashtray
Since the day I moved in
Couldn’t keep a straight face talking to you
My first neighbor, middle aged man
Said he wants to kill me right to my face
Still was the first time I felt alone and it was fine

I wanted easy needs all along
You wanted me to tell you a lie on the phone

Sunburnt red, above from the collar
I’m not allowed to have fun
Somehow I feel worse than the time I tried to drown myself
Kickball a few months after overdose
Smudging the ashes over my shorts
What kind of fun am I having if I’m
Sitting at at the bleachers all day long

I got my easy love at home
I promise I won’t die when I get too bored

kickball
