umm..there are going to be changes to this site, but not an entire site re-design. it would be a great thing but i simply don't have the time for that right now. pick up toby driver "in the l..l..library loft". kayo dot "dowsing anemone with copper tongue" will be available for mailorder from robotic empire within the week. not only that i've got a new cd coming on secret life of sound records, i just need to finish the artwork. it's titled "return from annihilation" and i've got an mp3 from it, called "lost in the cyber boogie" so check that out. thanks, more to come.

11.19.05
i didn't do what i was supposed to. (i.e. update with the kayo dot tour info and all that). tour is almost over and i will be home soon. i haven't decided whether i should do an entire site re-design or what. let me know what you think. however, i will be uploading a LOT more music. tour has been great, thank you everyone that came to our shows.
