[-------THE MONOLATORS----------]

When Science And Appliance Meet We All Go Bare

The October 25, 2004 entry for Douglas Wolk's blog, Lacunae, contained an invitation to its readers to participate in something called "NaSoAlMo:" National Solo Album Month. The idea, in a nutshell, was for readers to write and record an entire LP's worth of music entirely by themselves during the month of November. The album had to be at least 29 minutes long and could contain one cover song.

This proved to be somewhat more difficult than I originally thought it would be, but I did in fact finish it, and here it is. It's called "When Science And Appliance Meet We All Go Bare." The other Monolators are not involved in these particular recordings (according to the rules I had to play everything myself, including the drums, which are...um...new to me) but I do hope that Mary and Mike like some of them enough to work them into our set. So here we go. No fancy artwork yet, I'll try to do that later.

Below are links ye can click on to hear the mp3's:

The cover song, by the way, is #7: "In My Car," by the late, great Hope Rides A Pony.
