I never intended for Mama Young’s Son to become a full-fledged project. Hell, I never intended to pick up any sort of recording apparatus and do that sort of thing again at all. However, here we are, about three weeks out from releasing the project and I haven’t felt this rejuvenated in a while. It […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic Premiere: @SpeedontheBeat – Fingerpointers 2
I went back to my no-fi/lo-fi roots for a second and dropped this one. Compared to a lot of “lo-fi Speed” stuff, it’s still pretty on-point sonically without all the “No-Fi King” pops and flubs. In other words, it’s a middle of the road Speed track that isn’t middle of the road at all. It’s […]

Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @SpeedontheBeat – Alterations Through Altercations
It’s not often I shine the SOTBMusic spotlight on myself. That’s kind of surprising, considering that SpeedontheBeat.com would be the perfect avenue for Speed circle-jerking.
