Wes Eisold Drops Ye Olde Maids LP on Art Fag Records

Wes Eisold: Ye Olde Maids, Cold Cave etc.


Teen favorite/impressario Mario Orduno has dropped his latest Art Fag release and it happens to be an LP by ex-Some Girls current Cold Cave member/originator Wes Eisold.

You can buy it right here, and I would quietly urge readers of this blog, home or abroad to purchase it. If even one reader buys the record, then I will obtain a deep sense of personal satisfaction. I myself am buying several copies.

Here is a sample MP3 Ye Olde Maids Cocoa Cherub (Yousendit)

Description of Track: drum machine, simple keyboard, layer of noise/fuzz distortion, muffled female(?) vocals.

report from narm 2009

I went to the presentation given by nielsen ratings about the state of the music industry and they talked alot about how expensive video games are at best buy. Also, vinyl sales are up 80% last year and projected to go up 50% this year, but comprise less then one percent of the total market for music.

I was listening to a meeting between a guy who works for an online ad sales network and he was talking about how to attract passive listeners and I was like- oh my god- what did you say? And then he said "passive listeners" and then I was like wow- do you talk about passive listeners? And he was like yeah and then I was like- what does that mean to you? And he kind of shrugged.

So I wanted to link to my post Observations About Passive Listeners because I know nobody really read it the first time around and now that this music industry professional was talking about it during a sales meeting I feel pretty vindicated.
