The links to the Jolly Mortals' Paintscraper ep are now fixed thanks to Chris Wade's Audiosuede blog. Thanks to Leo for pointing this out to me... Here's the link to his post which has some added insight into the climate of the times.

As of today, most of the Jolly Mortals songs are back, as are the Black Emmanuelle and Kojak in their entirety. If anyone out there has any of the other tracks downloaded, hit me up, I'd like to bring this thing back to its former glory...

So after I left Richmond in Summer of 06 I tried to find a band through friends already living in Chicago. I didn't have much luck in finding a nice underground group, but instead found myself playing with some guys who wanted to be real rock stars. I was down, and we ended up recording some songs in the studio of a world class advertising agency. It was pretty awesome!

Rough
Don't Say I Didn't Warn You
Love To Hate You

They're still playing with a different bassist and drummer under the moniker, Destructive Playthings.

While I was playing with those guys, I recorded this track which is more along the lines of the music I like playing. I'm not sure why, but I just really love fake drums. I don't know if it's the control freak in me, or just annoyance of human drummers.

My Creation Myth Is Better Than Yours

After I got back I started playing with some of my old bandmates from the Bunny Rabbits, Mat and David, and we formed the Gilmore Guys. This project kind of fizzled apart after a while and I started doing a rap project with my roommate, Frank. Lou Dimey Music...

Six-Four
Fourth Meal
3rd Song
69th District
Daddy's Back

Lou Dimey was possible cause Frank's brother let us keep his Tascam at the house, and after a bit the Gilmore Guys was reconstituted as a studio project upon the demise of the Ten Commandments.

I'm trying to dust this old thing off. I'm slowly restoring the links, but no longer have the hard drive most of the files were on and most if not all of the source material (i.e. my record collection and tapes) is likewise gone. So if anyone out there that downloaded or hooked me up with stuff (I'm thinking Wade(s) and Branch)can help me that would rule. Kojak and Black Emmanuelle links work now, and more to come soon...
