Prince Rama needs our help !

this has happened to so many good bands lately,
please offer what you can to these amazing
people/musicians! (the following is a re-post from them)
******
++ALL OUR EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN STOLEN++

friends,
sad news--
our van was broken into today in philly
and ALL our equipment and merchandise has been stolen.
it is looking as though we may have to
cancel the rest of our US tour.

we are trying to be as proactive as possible
about pursuing all possible solutions // ways of trying to
re-coop some of our losses,
and are accepting any ideas // suggestions
about where to go from here, as we can't
play any more shows until we can get some of this back.

If any one has any used equipment you'd like
to donate or sell to us cheaply, we are definitely in need of any
guitars, amps, pedals, synths, keyboards, drums... you name it.

also,
we were thinking of maybe organizing
a few benefit shows, so anyone who might
be interested in playing, by all means contact us
and we'd love to work something out.

at any rate, we set up a donations fund,
so if you feel moved to donate anything, even a buck,
ANYTHING would help at this point.

lastly,
we are so grateful to everyone that has been
so kind to us on tour... its been truly amazing so far,
and we just feel really thankful to all of you for
sharing such love and inspiration with us.
THAT CANNOT BE STOLEN.

peace,
taraka, nimai, michael

Prince Rama of Ayodhya

ttc 019 Zack Kouns - Peter Denied Our Lord

Kouns has quite a varied & vast discography
filled with challenging creations that tend to
float in a religious stream a soot. & you get
the freak feeling when listening to him that he's
privy to a world you don't know about. Kouns sounds
like no one in your black book or record collection.
he's got his own way of telling the story & makes no
apologies about it. his voice gets tangled in between
speech & a solemn soaring swoon. & boy can he belt it
when called for.

"Peter denied Our Lord" consists of 10 tracks
about the various stages and types of denial.
Recorded in the woods at night- crickets, rain &
background hiss take the shape of instruments
in this epic tale of communion and refusal.
here Kouns favors the bluesy one note strum
lines & minimal accompaniment. dark downer
fucked folk vibes stirring in the branches -
often no chorus, no refrain - just storytelling
in full effect. past/current releases on bum tapes,
owness, clinical archives & others. soon to
have a cult like following to take over the world
with. deny and repent.

cdr comes in recycled packaging w/ various inserts.
front/back art by Kouns. edition of 22. $7 ppd us/
+ ship for world.

cdr : time: 34:47

ttc 018 a man & a guitar - to kill a dead man

a man and a guitar. that's it. his thoughts,
his emotive resistance, his chorus, his steel.
'to kill a dead man' is a reminder that you don't
need fanciness to create something beautiful,
haunting and timeless. this album has that
tip your hat to the side kinda saloon vibe,
swaying into a gritty bar with a gun on your side,
ready to draw. your covered in the settling of dusk,
in desert sweat & dirt & your miles from any place
you'd call home. letting the chords ring and echo
then fade, allowing each string to take part in the
madness, AM/AG draws out the sounds that need pushing
& lets the others drop away. small swells of nearby
thunder fill the largest sky you've ever floated in.
paris, tx vibes for sure, with less texas twang & more
paris flare. seven tracks of grifter blues to burn your
double-dealing skin. sizzle sizzle.
(dedicated to derek bailey & neil young.)

cdr comes packaged in rad recycled packaging with
an art / poetry insert. front/back cover art by
aman&aguitar. edition of 25. $7 ppd us/ + ship for world

ttc 017 al Qaeda - aluminum lock smith c20

al Qaeda just finished up an epic tour
with Mike Watt, Droughter, Derek Rogers,
& Rob Crow & now they are dropping
this epic tape.

don't expect to hear the same thing twice from this
ever evolving band from san fran. they will blow
your expectations out of the polluted water, spit
on them and then give you a hug. here they throw
out some delayed sunshine on all our round red summer
faces. this tape begins with one of those familiar
string/guitar loops you think you hear wandering in
the wind on a deserted beach. definite highway drifter
drone filling up the speakers for that daydream deliverance.
slow motion space dives with solar flares on your side.
who is the aluminum lock smith? who is the blind tiger?
light one up and sway your head to this shit.

clear tapes housed in homemade black envelopes,
random pics from around the world on one side,
comes with mini-booklets containing tape info,
art. edition of 22. $6 ppd us/+ ship for world.

keep an open eye out for their other
releases on the always killer Scotch Tapes,
Middle James Co. & Heavy Psych (just to name a few).

ttc 016 the Goodwillies - Tangerine Tape BURST c30

while other artists are busy pounding away
on that trend-mill, tim goodwillie is off
building his own. taking a side winder route
through the tangerine tunnels of time,
goodwillie takes the lead in what i like to call
the race for intergalactic funk-manship. fuck bootsy
collins, goodwillie is here to spice up your summer
as your lo-fi noise groove captain. bruised beats
deliver some blows while smoky shaky synths get
sexy with the static of your brain in 'Pink Milk Plus.'
'Silver Fox' begins by banging your head against
a bass wall, then while you're distracted, the
funkiest fried groove within the galaxy bursts through,
tossing and tumbling around like shoes in the dryer.
amazing drunk junk pop from the synth samurai.
*side B:* A slow motion melody beaten and busted up
then shoved into the tiniest of holes. a thousand tons
of pressure being held back with a feather. like watching
an explosion in rewind. bad ass vibrations for your massive
pollution caused headaches. break through & BURST motherf*s!

Side A: Pink Milk Plus / Silver Fox
Side B: the Moist Contact of Different Metals

home real-time dubbed tapes, some blue some not,
two inserts- housed in recycled felt & citrus fabric.
edition of 44. $6 ppd us/ world get in touch.
