We're looking for a bassist to round our musical troupe out! The band currently consists of four former members of PAS/CAL & is signed to the Le Grand Magistery label for whom we have just completed a full-length record. We are now looking to begin practicing & performing our songs in a live setting in the Detroit area.
Our ideal candidate:
1. Has a plucky bass style in the vein of McCartney, Broadcast, Serge Gainsbourg, et al.
2. {UPDATE} has been found. Thank you for the responses.
Let's update.
Computer Perfection LP1:
Title: We Wish You Well On Your Way To Hell
Mixing: Dave Allison
Artwork: Andy Ohioboy, Computer Perfection & Friends
Slowly, surely, Computer Perfection pushes forward into the future. Phase 1 is now complete & we are hacking our way into the thick of Phase 2. Dave Allison of Rustbelt Studios is hard at work making sense of our musical scribbles. Andy Taray will be doing the same of our non-musical scribbles for the packaging. A beautiful storm is brewing, indeed.
Here are some FALL FUN photos from the last month.
Gene & Penny trick-or-treat.

The Halloween scene. Scary!

A couple quick notes:
Yes, the cake costume was handmade by the boundlessly talented Bem!
I saw a UFO soaring above Ferndale on Halloween night!
November 4th: Computer Perfection heaves a collective & dramatic sigh of relief.
We'll talk soon!

Penny & The Jets.
Gene, Penny & I traveled to Dexter, home to The Cookie Momster, queen of the pastry world. Lamentably, the cookie shop is no more so we decided to make ourselves useful & lay down the piano bits for the full length. Not quite as tasty, but sweet just the same.
The lovely Otto, Jan assisted us by tuning & prepping the ivories with the expertise of a technician in her field for over two decades.
Good stuff, right? We hope so.
G'night,

Letters From The Postwar Effort.
Friends assembled to lend their honey-sweet vocal cords to a small but crucial turn on 'O Your Blue Blood' as well as some thunderous handclaps to 'Sans Soleil'. Above, Trevor Naud [of Zoos of Berlin & The Soccer Moms], Monica Breen, Chris Gideon & Lynette Lynette.
Acts of Creation & Destruction.
As the time of reckoning draws nigh & the calendar crawls ever closer to the fiery year called 2012 anno domini the pressure escalates. There is sweat on my brow even now as I type this. It is so quiet at night lately. A dog yelps in the distance at some anonymous disapproved interloper & the echo hangs heavy in the air like a dulling wine.
Anyway, above are some photos from a vocal session with the lovely lady with but one name, Bem.
Here We Grow Again.
We are ever closer to LP1! This will be the first volume in a duo of of concept records detailing the rise of a rock band consisting of aliens from across the universe who have come to Earth to spread Truth & eradicate Falsehood, Lies & Illusions through HOT JAMZ.

Domestic Amusements
Another twinkle in LTD’s eye entered the trail of the lonesome pine, passed through an ivy-covered trellis, proceeding (unlooked for though not unwelcome) in through the back door. Down the steps past overturned hat boxes, ancient cartons of merchandise sharing shelf space with the food pantry, and over an oft-used treadmill having trouble folding upright in its old age. Thus sprung the new song ‘Domestic Amusements’, a minute and a half of blissful future memories.
When the well runs dry and the plants are picked clean ~ every little creature has taken a picture, leaving a footprint a footstep stamped across your back
I'm an alien come up from the sea hovering covering shiny collections of idling engines, so gentlemen start your dreams.
I fell into you one midsummer's night as flowers in fossils bloomed at night; my bedroom light was dark and golden-eyed. Beyond time and sleep in a silver web, acts of creation and of destruction cross your heart as I hope to try.

The Dragon Of Breckenridge
Last night, I dropped by the newly christened Dragon Studios (in LTD’s dining room) to hear what kinda drum sound he is getting. There is a fancy new recording nook set up where we used to eat the pasta Galapagos. I like it. With just 3 mics on the kit – a SM57 on the high hat, a KSM27 on the snare, and some damn thing in the kick… it sounds amazing. Like Billy Jean but with real drums.
We are mostly done with a new song called Sans Soleil -- and put it here to hear.
Tonight… we’re all going to see Destroyer/Colossal Yes at the Crofoot. Before that, dinner at Bastone and a stop at Cranbrook for something artful.

The Slowest Jams
Thanks Bro. Today I can look into my dinning room and see not a table for friends and family to sit around and enjoy my mothers mothers' pasta dishes but instead a beautiful used Starck piano. A quick search for a free piano on Craigslist this Friday introduced me to a wonderful woman living just three blocks from Michelle and I, looking to gain some extra space in a house of kids and dads. Heavy and half broke, it sounds wonderful and smells like on orange. Bob Emmet is gonna tune it for me. An upright acoustic piano, it also has a 2 octave organ with bass pedals, an amp and a speaker. The organ part is broke to shit. Maybe I'm a little out of shape but this thing hurt to move and it wouldn't be coming to dinner without Trevor Naud, Chris Gideon and Richard Panic. Point is, giving away an instrument is as wonderful as pasta galagia and a finger in a jar of Nutella. So thanks bro, for the wonderful meal.
