Dancin Doll-Bud Bartram
Letter From Home-Bud Bartram
Pork Chops (Some of What You’re Sittin’ On)-Millie Castine
In the Shade of a Tree-Ed Carpenter

Re-Neavus
I lent my friend Moose a tape recorder and he returned it with a tape full of interviews. One of those interviews was with Herbie, an artist who collaborated with a couple of friends on a sculpture titled Re-Neavus. I cut it up (the tape not the sculpture) and added some music by Barin Darnew.

The Flaneur
I recently had the pleasure of taking the True/False Film Festival’s Speculative Stroll, a walking tour of Columbia, Missouri. One of the tour guides was Speed Levitch. You may recognize Speed’s voice from the film Waking Life or the fantabulous documentary, The Cruise. These are some highlights from The Stroll.

Candy’s Hair Affair
I found this recording in a box of old tapes. The tape wasn’t labeled but I think it was recorded at a beauty school somewhere near New Orleans. It’s one of my all-time favorite pieces of found tape.
