No words.
He slipped away from me, and I let him go without thinking about it.

He had a painful life, like most of us, but he found ways to persist, as many don't.
He was a good friend, and no one should have to fight as hard as he did.
He helped make me who I am, taught me things, criticized me, and offered me support when I was in shards.
He made me laugh, and I was happy to do that same for him. We were pals.
But he did fight, and he acknowledged injustice. He was enraged by it.
And it wasn't just for him. His values and creativity are a rare commodity.
He knew the reasons why the human race is worthless.
He knew that this is why humanity is priceless.
It is too late to say goodbye, and in a way, I did, long ago, the only way possible.
But to the rest of you, I commiserate. His shadow is burned onto the wall.

Aha, very interesting. I just went through a stress-induced spell of livejournal entries and mentioned that I had found Shep's music again recently from a long time ago, then Steel linked me to this topic. Fascinating that I'd been wondering what you might be doing musically these days and this was exactly the kind of music I might have expected, which is absolutely wonderful because it is a very beautiful kind of music.

The breakdown in Old Season is hands-down my favorite part of the album (from about 1:48-3:15). The album as a whole is very comfortable and soothing to listen to. I think the names are all very appropriate. It feels like a work surrounded by joy and experience.
I love the percussion on this record. I do think the two of you should just sing constantly and put a little finer focus on matching pitch. Sharp vocal harmonies can be incredibly powerful but they take a lot of work to develop.

My major suggestion to you, as one musically-active human being to two others, would be to give more. More, shorter songs or more in every longer one. This might mean more layering and greater diversity of coordinated sounds, or it might be clearer lyrics with poetic content. This is not to say that it felt empty, but very interesting repetitions can only carry you for so long. Just the same, it is rather impressive that you put this together in a month and a half, having just met one another formally, and doing many other things besides. On the other hand, that is the only way I think a project could find that much inspiration.

Perhaps more accessible than other work, but it is still a bold and fundamentally creative sound, and that is what I've always liked about your music. I believe it, and I have respect for what I believe in. And even now it has grown immensely more pleasant to listen to.

And who am I to say this? I'm nobody--another person, a player, a listener, an illusionary.

All I can really say about this album is that it is brilliant. I have never heard of Bruce Genitals until the moment I was downloading it off a torrent site, however I was perplexed as to who(or what) it was. It is very rare that I will download something without knowing a thing about it, but I am truly impressed with this album. I am definitely going to reccomend this to my friends.
Thanks a lot, if you care to check back here again. I'm actually a little surprised, and impressed, that my album made it to a relative stranger via internet circulation. Please do recommend it to friends; I'm in the early stages of planning a site for this stuff outside of GW, so if you come around again in a while I'd be more than happy to provide the link (CHECK IT OUT I guess is what I'm saying). Rest assured, more new material is on the way!

Bruce Genitals never strikes only once...

Diggity, I was planning on bringing my old small artist music review website back online in the next week or two, and I was wondering if you'd mind a review of this? I think it's pretty great although not all tracks work for me.
By all means, go ahead. Just be sure to link to it when you've done so.

Holy shit diggity, that is amazing. I cannot believe that some guy who got this from a torrent site came here and posted about how great this is. FUFFFUFFFF OVERLOAD MR. GENITALS GRGGRGR

This is an anagram program. If you type 'Who is Bruce Genitals', it has no response.

Coincidence? I think not.

most certainly not.






As for the torrents surfacing on 4 different sites, I must say I'm really (pleasantly) surprised to see something like this happen. It's a free album after all, so by all means, spread it around as long as credit is given where credit is due.

I FUCKING WANT TO HEAR THIS SO HARD but 56k means probably never ever.
Seriously, we'll figure SOMETHIGN out. I'm on 56k myself so.. . i feel your pain.s.. Getting this up in the first place actually involved visiting a friend with a faster connection, so that's also always an option.

I really enjoyed this album, what did you use to create the songs?
An electric guitar, a keyboard, my mouth and a loop pedal recorded into the computer with Audacity.



I'm a little surprised, to be honest, by the lack of comments in here after four days. If you haven't commented after listening to it (especially if you liked it), then please do. Also, if you do like it, please feel free to show it to your friends and loved ones.

If you want to go ahead and read the first post, there's a link to it right in the middle. However, if that's too much trouble, you can hit cntrl + f and type "become the man you've always wanted to be."

Who is Bruce Genitals?

An age old question with a simple answer, though one not so easily explained as you’d imagine. Bruce Genitals is revered by many as one of the greatest, most fearsome heroes in the subterranean Atlantic mythos, though he has been rumored to be an unemployed housepainter in Paris by parties of unidentified and unstable association.

So just who is this man, then?

According the ancient scrolls now housed in the deepest depths of the Smithsonian Institution:

A master of disguise and subversion, fabled to be an enlightened man lost in the mysterious and shadowy world between life and death. It is said that he narrowly avoided his demise at the ripe age of five and a half, fending off multiple demons hellbent on seizing his soul for the black arts. Since that time, he has traveled through time and space with only a guitar and the clothes on his back, determined to discover the truth of his heritage and performing selfless acts of goodness wherever possible. He is rumored in many circles to be more than a thousand years old, and to have fathered celebrities such as King Tut.

Cryptic... These words could mean many things, and we may never know the answer for sure.

-Jon President, staff writer for Gope Magazine, 2002


Or so we thought...
These vast secrets have been sealed away, without exception, for many years...
Until now...

BRUCE GENITALS HAS ARRIVED AT LAST!

Despite technical difficulties on his flight over, as well as surviving a harrowing terrorist attack, as well as terrifying complications during his hospitalization Bruce Genitals has finally arrived here today to unveil his greatest creation.

Now, for a limited time only, you too may enjoy the secrets of the universe, absolutely free. This set of cunningly designed audiotapes, recorded by Bruce Genitals himself, will leave no questions unanswered. Order yours today, you won’t be sorry (unless you don't place an order  in which case you will hate yourself forever). So now, without further adieu, I present you with the strange and incredible; I give you...










So what are you waiting for? Act now; become the man you’ve always wanted to be, just like I have...




Note: Unfortunately for myself and the internet, I will be placed in situations beyond my control or comprehension, wherein I will be without access for this weekend, starting Friday and ending Monday night. I’ll tend to the topic (if need be), as best I can before then. Until I return, please try to play nice and have fun with this (dancingdrugssexspeedingflyfishing).




























Since I’m sure most of you wouldn’t be happy with just this, I suppose a little explanation is in order (or please, just go ahead and download it and skip the rest of this. It's probably better that way anyhow)...
