Me and my mate love this album dearly. When we started writing our own stuff and doing a little more than covers in pubs (Jigsaw falling into place was a fav), we kept coming back to this record to try and understand how we should mix things like drums etc. It was all recorded in my mates dining room on a rather slow PC. Lots of fun though.

(The track I'd say is most Radiohead-esq would be January snow. We do not wanna sound like them, and we don't. But I hope you can appreciate the influence that they've had).11011005075?profile=original

P A P E R M A P S -- album finished -- deal in Canada

Posted by dean marino on February 5, 2011 at 6:57pm
Dear friends at WASTE CENTRAL,

Just an update to the previous post. We (Papermaps) finished our record (it's being "pressed" as I write this) -- its new "street drop date" is April 19th, 2011. The name of the record is simply, Papermaps. It has beautiful cover artwork painted a Canadian fine artist named, Miyoshi Kondo. This is happening because we signed to an indie label here in Canada called Sparks Music. They have a nation-wide distribution network. As a result we will be touring Central Canada April 15-29, playing about 8 towns/cities. In October we will embark on an East-Coast tour (including Montreal). Canada is an impossibly large country! Maybe one day (soon) we'll get to play outside Canada -- hopefully the UK. Our deal is small in the sense that physical albums will only ship within Canada (special orders being an exception), but what does it matter in this day and age? Come late April, you can find us on itunes or (even better) bandcamp. Right now we have a 7-inch single available on both bandcamp and insound.

I've taken down a few songs and uploaded a new one to called, Can't Make a Living. It's the 3rd track on the album. There's a few more songs floating around "out there" on the internet, if you are interested.

cheers,

Net Neutrality STILL matters2me!

To the FCC:http://act.credoaction.com/campaign/fccnn_comments/?r=5157&id=7291-135849-p_n2CmxThe internet has offered creative artists around the world a platform to share new work and ideas with other like-minded individuals. Artists are typically loners with few examples of community. The internet has changed that for me and many other artists. The internet offers community, collaboration and education for people who may not feel comfortable in a group setting. I have learned and shared a lot of good work in the last five years, this would not have happened if the internet was limited to large companies serving their own agenda.I have been blessed to show my work in places that may not have found small-town me if not for a free and open internet. Here's the giant beach... I'm the grain of sand they found. I have found many gifted visuals from around the world with a laptop and a connection. This gave a shy artist from a small town - Community, that would be unable to contain the many creatives who populate my favorite works. To say the internet has changed my life as a creative would be an understatement.http://www.flickr.com/photos/bijoubaby/https://www.youtube.com/bijoubabybabyfavoritesNet Neutrality celebrates the creative potential of the independent individual... nothing more "American" than that.
