[MUSIC] "Televation" by Phalen (Live at Home)

 

 

Practice from the night of 4/22/25. Finger-style electric guitar. Recorded live DI from pedalboard with some camera mic (iPhone) for ambience, because I thought it sounded nice. Sorry for some of the video stuttering, but the audio is fine.

[LIVE] HOSEY @ Otto's Shrunken Head 04/14 (NYC)

HANGOVER FRIDAY END2END BURNERS SUPER PREGAME PLAYLIST: "It's Over 9,000!!!"

(Note: Back in December I came into work on a Friday and instead of listening to the news as usual I decided to play music all day and share the list over on the Hosey Facebook page. This particular playlist is from the day of our show at Otto's Shrunken Head on January 13th, 2017.)

Here we  go!

These are the rules: Only albums that are good front-to-back. And I'm playing these at work in an office, so they're also albums that won't get you fired (I hope). No Don Cabellero or Melt Banana, no matter how badly I might want to listen to them.

BOARDS OF CANADA
Music Has the Right to Children

Kicking it off very chill today. A classic instrumental. And it has "ROYGBIV" so... [swoon]

R.E.M.

Murmur

Keeping the "chilled out morning" vibe going with one of my favorite albums from one of my absolute favorite singer/songwriters.

FUGAZI

The Argument

I think Fugazi's last album was their best. Flawless. And I can't imagine anyone else writing a song about housing development and gentrification even half as good as "Cashout."

RUN THE JEWELS

Run The Jewels 3

Last one for the day! You cannot deny RTJ. Have fun everyone! I hope I see you all tonight.

DISMEMBERMENT PLAN

Emergency & I

Looks like I'm stuck at work a little longer than I planned. But now it's late enough to play something a little more weird.

[RECAP] Good Room 8/31/16

Hosey's first show in four(?!) years was a big success! We played as part of Garage Land, a weekly event featuring rock, garage, and punk bands. I'm not exactly sure where Hosey lies among all those genres; maybe wherever bands like Mission of Burma and DEVO fit? No matter, the show was amazing and all the bands killed.

Much thanks to Good Room, which is indeed a good room, and Tommy for booking us. Thanks to the other bands that shared the stage with us: The Heavy Howl, Sly Moth, and David Jacobsin and the Space Wizards. Special thanks to our friend Mabel who took these pictures for us.

[LIVE] HOSEY at Good Room 8/31

After four long years, HOSEY returns from the darkest sides of the universe with new sounds and new tales to amaze Earthbound citizens.

What started as two men and one computer AI farcasting across the galaxy in search of the rarest vinyl and tastiest sandwiches quickly became an epic adventure between dimensions where living turntables the size of Saturn's rings sing the Music of the Spheres; where nebulae birth sounds instead of stars. A journey where black holes were swallowed, Shrike were slain, and Upside Downs were right-side-upped. And they even saved a cat.

Now, let HOSEY tell you of their adventures the only way they know how: through most excellent tunes.

And it doesn't end with the music! Afterwards, there will be a double birthday celebration. Buy a birthday beer for Patrik Phalen, the enigmatic mastermind behind HOSEY's double timeloop technology. And toast to another year of life with Lindsey Moore, the first human to tame the elusive agave of the red planet and distill Martian Mezcal.

The party will literally never end.

---

But seriously, I am ecstatic to announce HOSEY is finally returning to the stage. Playing with our friends, The Heavy Howl, at Good Room in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Wednesday, August 31st, 9pm! Be there!

Here's the lineup:

Doors open at 8:30

[MUSIC] Saint-Saens "Aquarium"

I've noticed this piece showing up in more and more TV shows over the last decade. I don't know, maybe it has always been popular on soundtracks and I'm only noticing it now. It first caught my attention in the Simpsons episode, "The Wife Aquatic" and it's been popping up ever since. It's a pretty piece, so I'm not complaining.

[LINK] Super Metroid Music

This is really only a note to myself, but it may be of interest to others. Metroid Database is a website dedicated to, you guessed it, the Metroid series. My personal favorite is Super Metroid for the SNES. It ranks up there in my top five games of all time.

Anyway, I wanted to hear the music from the Maridia region of the game which led me to the Metroid Database where I found rips of the soundtrack. If anybody else is interested, it can be found here:

[MUSIC] "Blue Yellow Pink" - A Love Letter to Breaking Bad

As promised, Hosey is back at work on new music and preparing for live shows. Here's our first new song, "Blue Yellow Pink."




It's a sonic homage to the greatness that is Breaking Bad. The finale airs tonight, and I am feeling a mixture of excitement, to see how this whole saga wraps up, and a profound sadness as what might be the best show in the history of television shuffles off the air.

Hello.

It has been a while since we have heard from each other.

Hosey is back.

Writing new stuff. Planning shows now.

Here's an unreleased old (really old) track.



"Uh huh. That's right"

Mention in the Austin Chronicle

Besides the music I make for Hosey and our side projects, I also do music/sound work for dance companies, performance artists, and other weird projects that flutter to life in the avant garde fringes of culture. One such project was providing the score for "Deer, to Me", a multimedia piece put on by the company white road Dance Media. The score was originally put together for the first run of the performance in NYC about two years ago, and just this week it was re-performed over several nights in Austin, Texas. A local newspaper ran a review of the show and complimented the music and mentioned yours truly. It kind of made my day. Here's the link:

[RECAP] "Blow Up the Moon" Photos & Wrap Up

DJ Doriana auf die einsen und zweien

This past Wednesday night was "Blow Up the Moon", a night of bands, booze, and DJs hosted by Hosey. Catch my recap and some photos after the jump...

From the HOSEY Vault - "Oblivion" (1999)

Oblivion by Hosey

This is one of the earliest Hosey recordings I have. I'll have to write more about it later when I'm not so tired. I made it before I had a sampler, so the process I went through to accomplish the recording was kind of interesting.

It features a sample from The Evil Dead. One of the greatest movies of all time. Also, a sample from Transformers: The Movie (1986). One of my favorite movies of all time, but obviously it's not even remotely close to being one of the best movies of all time.

Groovy.

All Together Now

Nice try, Sauron

Rounding up some links from the nets I've found interesting. In this (weekly?) installment: Steve Albini rants, Nas slams Def Jam, Kyle Bylin examines some psychological aspects of the correlation between purchasing and liking music, Lego's BrickCon 2010, and other fun stuff
