just adjust (new music)

In the effort to try and keep myself busy, I wrote and recorded a new song last something. A simple quick piece titled “just adjust”. I uploaded the new song to my myspace page. http://www.myspace.com/aeongrey

Give it a listen and let me know what you think.

just adjust Lyrics

this is just me adjusting/ trying to find a new function

in a city where there judge you by the bus route/ at a job where they trust you to just suit/ living life designed to disrupt truth/ trying to find a soft spot to punch through/ in a function to jump hoops/ bottom rung doom/ sky’s the message/ get inside/ I am legend/ no set design except surviving where the mindless tempt him/ moving migrant temptest/ eyes on the mileage and technician/ no match for it so get fishing/ do you sweat bullets or innocence/ do your best to finish it/ these are losing bets/ on a gruesome debt/ we wouldn’t have to deal with if we grew some testicles/ and learned to let it go/ this is just me adjusting/

in a city where there judge you by the bus route/ at a job where they trust you to just suit/ living life designed to disrupt truth/ trying to find a soft spot to punch through/

This is just me adjusting/ trying to find a new function/

8 Cylinder Madness

I am still struggling with my focus and to some part my tolerance.

Lead Breakfast has been in the works for a few years now, and I have always felt behind where I wanted to be with the entire project. It seems that everything I have done I want it to be better. I have been building songs up, then breaking them down, building them up again, grinding them down, and then again rebuilding. This is a path that I have to get off of so that I can actually start making new music.

Last week a friend asked me to be on a song of his for his album, that he was putting together in just one week. I had a verse more or less written, we met at the studio and knocked the song out. It can be found on his album which can be downloaded for free at only1micl.blogspot.com the song is titled ‘amnesia’. Then at a last minute show for no one on saturday MicL gave me a copy of his cd, and I have been listening to it all week. While the sound quality lacks, the feeling in the music is so vibrant that it pulls me in. And when compared to Lead Breakfast, the over manufactured war machine, I realized it is time to push forth.

Experiment two, began on Monday. Acebandage and Daniel Heavens were on the road doing shows over the weekend and asked for a resting spot as they cruised through Des Moines Monday night. We decided we should take the time to do a song, which turned into a frenzy of 4 songs in 8 hours, written and recorded. I probably wrote more freely in that 8 hour span than all of the last year. Letting the words just pour onto the paper as opposed to placing them all specifically in perfect sequence, testing polarity and balancing the currents as I have done with LB. Acebandage currently has the songs in Minneapolis, where he is going to record some scratches and then send back to me for final mixing. These will be available for free when they are finished, hopefully in the next week.

Back to the issue. While Lead Breakfast is already the ‘Ferrari’ of Aeon Grey albums, it is certainly time to move forward and insert the ghost into the machine.

Maxilla Blue November 21st

fall to winter…

Thinking about it…

updated bailouts

I updated my bailout section with links to the “Quid Pro Quo” digital/vinyl release. As well as mp3 versions of “Truth of all Evil” on cdbaby.com. Still trying to figure out some video content updates.

A few things on the horizon for me production wise.

I am working with Asphate and Touchnice to really finish up the Maxilla Blue project. It seems that once we hit a groove with it, things just pour out and we will probably have all of the lyrics recorded by the end of the month. Release date is up in the air, as we don’t know how far the production will go.

Also, expect a release of GaiDen Gadema’s “The Jim Kelly Acquisition” instrumentals before the end of the year. This will feature all of the Aeon Grey and Bashir produced tracks, as well as a few new exclusives that were not on the album. This should round out well and be something funky to keep you warm through this cold Iowa Winter.

awake and working, determined to break this fate from our purpose/ surfing deterrents inching face to face towards our terms ends/ for a saviors sake satiate the ignored flesh/ can’t save an ape in a cage that’s the plague we paint for illusions/ can bear greed smother the canary?/ rearranged our faith to shape our servants/ ideological/ but none of these ideas seem logical/ a candle in the dark disappears behind the obstacles/

As an artist in Iowa I have become numb to disappointments.  The music scene here seems to shift as much as the weather and expectations are almost impossible to maintain. And it can all be magnified even more so being involved in hip hop, and it’s relative forms of music and art. It is a strange feeling fighting against the distortions that still linger from well over 10 years ago. Perhaps I am just running out of ammo, going numb in the fight for something that’s roots are becoming brittle with age.

I spent most of the morning today putting together some of what might be the final writings for Lead Breakfast. I am hoping that I can now force myself into record mode and honestly get this thing finished up by the end of the month. Then start the circus of things that matter little to me.

samoa cold crush

don’t like the public or strobe lighting substance/ no light when a low life’s dug in/ dungeon hacksaw curmudgeon/ slack jaw disgust and rack raw the grey matter/ busted/ rusted to rustic depends on where you stake your bum camp/

i don’t tango with the nova/ on a soapbox strangling your cobra/ stones to break the stained glass soul and mumble opa/
