"an introduction,
at this point i am tired. at this point i have love. maybe a relation can be found in these pages? these are twenty hour day feelings. lay awake until last call feelings. so very personally shared feelings and oh how strong they are in each of us. take part for each word calls for you calls for each emotion buried deep. we can let them sing softly sometimes at least, cant we? or do we let them puddle at our feet? a little obvious, no? a little cryptic still? no. push forward in the encouragement. just embrace it. or at least try your best to share. my heavy heart knows i am not one to talk hiding in broken words as often as possible and freezing at every moment of truth. its a brave motion. find that in these passages.
a collection of romantic correspondences."

shit. one of the most beautiful albums of 2009 i think i must say.

CL006 - E.E - VOLCANIST - $12
AVAILABLE IN THE STORE!

while supplies last it will be available WITH Peter J Woods' Failure From Both Ends 7" for a small price of $15.

Payments can be made via paypal to snedekersam @ gmail.com

"Vinyl debut for sound artist, noisician and composer Patrick Newman, also known as - E.E. - The Voclanist is an absolute masterpiece and an instant highlight of E.E.'s prolific career. Patrick "E.E." Newman has journeyed through era's of harsh walls and dense distorted vocal blasts, to brooding and moody dronescapes and dark ambient textures in the vein of fellow Ohio noise\ambient giants like Skin Graft and Emeralds. Though coming from the same arena as those well knowns, E.E. stands alone in his use of careful articulation, and evolving growth over the course of his tracks. Field recordings of the city and subways collide and blend with dark tones and crackles. A monumental vinyl debut coming at the perfect time for winter's cold dark front."

STICK AROUND, YOU MIGHT GET SOME ICE CREAM or HOW TO PICK UP HOT CHICKS

this is the first of hopefully many zines and comics released by curious lacunae subsidiary group, A2FAY PRODUCTION. A2FAY production is a collaborative effort combining the skills and knowledge of mostly 3 bois in this town. you can grab your very own copy of
SA,YMGSICoHTPUHC in the store (not right now but very soon) or anywhere i am!

SA,YMGSICoHTPUHC is a priceless collection of valuable information and stories pertaining to the picking up of totally hot babes. this information is brought to you, the desperates of the world, by the oh so knowledgeable and skillful bois of cookie bumstead and jesse stephanopoulos with special guest writer and interviewee, JOSH**.

expect so much more from these jolly lads in the near future!)***

*seriously. i would like to sincerely apologize for this. haha i havent been able to write a single word of this post with a straight face. this is hardcore life advice from 4 boys going totally out of character to write hardcore life advice. this is not to be taken seriously.

** this is a pen name. the author wishes to remain anonymous.

***by no means does curious lacunae or a2fay production condone the assumptions (made by) or the implications of the phrase "picking up hot babes"

well well kiddies here is to this magic in pursuit by lovely friends and soaring voices take it to th barebones paplease beacuse its so true that our missing will be left forgotten through these moving tales. in a night controlled by our power alone we drink merrily laughs hearted strong despite the porch day bug bites happened so often over these night fallen ashes stringed to sound in heaven so tight cant silence feel her graceful presence too? "i guess not," say the farmers joys toys with our communal being oh sweet swine let our freshdom ring!

and a new day story blames highroads for the ensuing eventlessness clasp my swollen fingers a lightness charged flat paced breaking our hearts exhaustion so loved but embraced so little our ability to apply consideration to ourselves loses to par those creatured in sloped shelter. each deerest to us cancels something.

our sky lets a piece more like the sevens enter into the business but with these tops wetted we are not able to push forward lest the towels rain from the clouded eyes brightening though may keep our spirits from drying. but sirs our souls are truly saved are they not? a feeling so pretensed can be false also in situations kindly unknown.

and in ends meeting a petty difference can only be a connection between a greatest good no casual being is less like the beating blue eyes blanketing my chest no idea is worse than that of breaking bad off hey hey these aware glances in rooms fit comfortably sure are something but we will take these experiences together new friend a first time bets a little more than is handled in oyour day to day normalities borgo down to lovely days of interchanged displeasure. a secret a end layed smooth over into thick spread hope let me down into this failed trial.

okie daisy boys and girls. i am so proud to put the word out into the world about 4 YES FOUR!! new cassettes out RIGHT NOW on curious lacunae.
