Pop! Dirigible Records'
Bull's-Eyes & Elbows Series


This is an archive of collaborations, one-offs, oddities, and earliest days. In this handsome series, Volume 1 is always the newest, and there is occasionally lightning in the bottle. Other times, the bottle flows out to sea. Everytime, listener, your sins are forgiven.

"DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE DIGITAL SHEEN---@CME IS A COLLECTIVE THAT WILL 'TAKE YOU TO A BACK ALLEY AND MAKE YOU EAT PINECONES AND DIRT' (M. Wilson). WE'RE ALL ABOUT THE KNOBS AND SLIDERS. OUR GUTS ARE STRICTLY ANALOG. THE RESTING HEART RATE OF EVERY MEMBER IS 33 AND A THIRD BEATS PER MINUTE." --Scott Schwister

The 2005 mnartists.org compilation, The Music of Here. Now, with @cme tune, "Stay, Don't Go." Until we were cleared for inclusion on the compilation, none of the band breathed a word that we didn't coincide with the album's "here/now" concept since we are from the future and "now" is actually the past. Despite our excellent recording, that "been there/done that" attitude would prove a heavy load for us in the end, leading to a dismal 2:21 finish time amongst the other aesthete guilds, and hence, our blue geometric shape appearing in 19th place on the cover at bottom, second-to-right.

This is "Morningwood," our short film/anti-commercial submission for the Grain Belt Premium Beer contest in 2004.  Scott and Co. put this gem together, starring Mark Hendrycks.  The beginning is extra footage soundtracked by our currently unfinished tune "AC-30" (coming soon!) and the back end is the actual item, with "Stay, Don't Go."
