The price of being able to login and download the aural delights and view the blackmail photos is simply your email address. No, I won’t sell the emails to anybody. I’ll send you the occasional email with an update on what I’ve got going on and the occasional exclusive deal or giveaway.

And of course I’m going to continue to populate Area 1234 with all the detritus my crazed mind can manufacture. I’m sure you’ll want to have a ticket to all that. See ya there!

First finished product using GarageBand and I am not disappointed. Wrote the whole thing in the last couple of weeks. Soft vocal, acoustic guitar, bass played almost like a drum, rockabilly chugging guitar and some atmospheric GarageBand keyboards played on keypad. Straddles the line between folk and rockabilly with some drumless reggae backbeat at the bottom. Words are what’s left after the firecracker smell fades away on July 5th.

My 2004 expansion of the Astrid EP. Same four tracks as before plus two more. Still that electric guitar-driven pop rock with the touches of Caribbean and dance and jazz and grunge, even in the two new songs which start edging back towards punk. Digital booklet included. Download here. Background info here.

Not Silent/Area1234, 2004

This is a project that my friend Al Valdes (my King James collaborator) and I recorded back in August of 1999 with our spouses as extra vocalists. It’s also the first and only time we recorded on something better than a Portastudio. Most of the tunes are Al’s (he paid for the studio). These four songs are the only ones released so far, and we didn’t get to that until 2004. We have four more in the can, plus a few Portastudio demos that I’m going to try to convince Al to let me put out as a full-length project.

Stream:
Donde Esta Tu Biblia? (new wave/ska)
Donde Dios Me Tenga (pop punk)

• In The Presence Of My Love
• That Was My Love
• Baby’s Eyes
• Not My Enemy

My 2003 virtual release documenting my initial non-extreme experiments on ProTools Free. Electric guitar-driven pop all the way with touches of Caribbean and dance and jazz and grunge. Digital booklet included. Download the 20MB zip file here.

Just plugged in a streaming music player here so I’m testing it with Loogie Soup’s seasonal classic which debuted last Xmas. You can still download it at area1234.

Musical styles in order of appearance are punk, reggae with a touch of mariachi, old school hardcore when it wasn’t old school with a touch of eastern dissonance, 70s style funk, classic rock when it wasn’t classic drenched in Neil Young guitar strangulation, country with a touch of spoken word, and Gregorian chant with no detectable intelligible actual words.

Big download, worth every meg. Get it at area1234.

• Mission To Mexico
• Johnny’s In A Cult
• Peabody Went To High School
• Movies About Jesus
• Last Of The Nubs

Back in 1996, when you actually had to press 1,000 CDs to get your music out, Frank’s Enemy played three shows’ worth of punk rock as Loogie Soup. We put out a tape (remember them?) too.

Now Loogie Soup has returned with a pop/punk serving of holiday turkey with green stuffing. Dowload it here and regurgitate.

Take your sleighbells and shove ‘em
Eat your gift wrap for dinner
We’re all getting together
And we’re choking down our dinners

It’s time to watch the budget
It’s time for relentless smiling
It’s time to manage the debt
And erect your last defenses

I’ll be punk for Christmas
I’ll be gone for Christmas

Time to fight the subtle battles
With people you did not choose
Every single word and gesture
Scrutinized and reviewed

Time for wordless desperation
Among the ribbons and lights
Waiting to see the wounds
Of good will for all mankind

Was Jesus born for this?
Oh Jesus were you born for this?

Submarine – Old school hardcore cover of the Porno Para Ricardo track, incorporating recording of state-sponsored bullying of PPR singer Gorki’s supporters during his incarceration last August. Download here. Lyrics here.

Six of those seconds are lead-out time. So it’s four tracks in four seconds.
