“Been thinking a lot about handhelds, clothes, and kissing”

Two great pieces from Lamar Abrams. We think about those things a lot, too; that’s why we made Kissing Party (Maré Odomo actually made it, but we attached our name to it)!

BUY Tiny Cartridge x Mare Odomo stickers

★☆★space boyfriend’s SPACE BLASTER TAPES☆★☆

This here is a preview/demo for a thing I wanna do.  It’s up to you to tell me if this is a good idea or sounds like crap.

So I like tapes.  Tapes are a fun kinesthetic experience that sound like garbage but are a lasting, physical activity that leaves you with a li’l bit more of a feeling like you’ve actually done something in the end.  It’s a fun thing!  And so what I wanna do is profess my love to my ghetto blaster that also happens to be a cassette recorder, and also have a personal private dance party with you, in your room or in your car or wherever you are.

I wanna make custom tapes and sell them for $10, where I perform any 6 of my songs, or however many can fit in 25 minutes, onto a tape, record it only once, straight through, and then send it to you.  That copy of the tape, that performance, is uniquely yours, through all of my dumb banter and messups or whatever else I decide to do, like grab my tambourine and go HAM on one of my songs with it that I haven’t before, or play extended versions of songs that have already appeared on records that don’t have recordings yet.  Every tape would be unique.  If you didn’t know my songs well enough, I’d pick a few of my favorites for you.  In the end, I will take a silver sharpie and doodle a space boyfriend onto it, number it, and sign it.  You will be a proud owner of a unique Space Blaster Tape.

I think this is a fun idea.  As you can hear, the sound quality isn’t fantastic.  But if you are down with this idea, please let me know.

As of now, I only have 5 tapes to do a very small run with, and they’re only 10 minutes long, 5 minutes per side.  So that’s about 1 song per side with a lil talking in between too.  If you’d like one of those, I’d be happy to make you one for $4!  But you can also wait for me to do the longer ones, if this turns out to be a good idea.

But as for now, just let me know if you think this is a good or bad idea!  Would you be interested enough to pick one up?  Is there anything else I could do to make it a more fun experience?  Tell me what you think!  Thank you!  Bye!

THE HELLA SHORT RUN OF FIVE 10-MINUTE TAPES IS UP, IF YOU’RE INTERESTED!

The money goes toward the 25-minute run, and there will be more than 5.

Space Boyfriend - Live Mode Jam 09-06-12

At PAX, I had the honor of playing LSDJ Live Mode drum machine to a crazy-good soul keyboardist, Robbie Benson of Super Soul Bros (http://supersoulbros.com).  I created a ton of little rhythms and beats right there on the spot that went with whatever Robbie was playing.  It proved to be a ton of fun.  I can’t provide the same sick keyboard jams that Robbie did, but I wrote a small little progression and melody just to be the backing so I could demo some of these beats I made.  I hope you dig it!  Here’s just a few minutes of me playing around in Live Mode with the stuff I did.

I tried to upload this like four times today.  Yeesh.  LET’S DO THIS
