OOTSOMS stands for "Ointment On The Soles Of My Shoes".  It was originally the title of a song I wrote and recorded with a band called The Locksmiths.  In 1997 it became the title of a zine I ran for about 5 years.  The zine was about music I liked, plus about my life in Tokyo, and it included some fiction of mine and contributions from various friends.  In 2002 the zine mutated into a record label.  And that's where we are now.  OOTSOMS Records is dedicated to putting out music I record, either solo or with friends.  This includes new stuff and stuff that goes right back to the 1970s.  I tend to bang things down quickly without too much regard for finesse or what people think.  Also like to be a little experimental / self-indulgent now and then.  I am using SoundCloud to share samples of some of the things OOTSOMS Records has released over the years.  Contact me if you would like to order a CD or a tape.
