[Is it too early to declare my first album that no one bought the most underrated album no one bought in the last 7 years?]

We are the music makers and the music lovers. An example of one of the finest lyrics from my favorite 'wrapper' Jaimeson Lowell:

want it, need it
program you deleted
no need for cheating
when a heart's not beating
no mouth or attitude
one plug, one love
last chance connection
I hope you've been debugged
raise the rug
cryin' buckets full of truth
my little sugar triangle —
who's feelin' who?

-- taken from "Who's Feeling Who?" by 2MERICA [Sensors & Switches & Buttons LP 2007]

Finally. Digital propagation will probably end up being more complicated than the old way, crazay. Everything I do tonight is gonna be productive, so this is first on the list. New 2MERICA doesn't happen all that often, so I plan on being amazed by these sales numbers.. ah wait which side of the decimal place is amazing again?

buy me now

This track will speak for itself and you might not like what it's gonna say but the story must be told.

This one gets you on the bike and zooming around town with Ezraz Jones and his panfunktual bonobos. Watch out for the signs!

We have some pre-winter storms rolling through so I watch this with instant nostalgia. Stupid skorpion monkeys.

It has begun it's journey through the tubes of the internet, fresh from a session at The All Night Party and sounding so tasty. You will need to cue it up right after "Never Met Tomorrow" for part 2 of Scherzo Elskorpion, the 3rd 2MERICA LP in progress.
We can't link to buy or even preview yet since those links don't exist. Just wanted to drop some pre-release hype onto the internut to show some charisma. C'mon people!  Update:  Just went live on CDBaby. More to come as they pop.

Wow, the 2MERIMIX OPEN MIND NITE @ The Duck last night has left all involved groggy and probably a bit irritable, but time marches on, the beat goes on, the show must go on, etc.. Thankfully two bits of progress in the battle against irrelevance came through today:

-- First off the next 2MERICA single just left the mastering engineer and it's making it's way to the tubes of the internets. Titled "Keep Steady", it's the 2nd of 5 tracks from the Scherzo Elskorpion LP. It's also the 'sex scene' in the soundtrack so check it out! Like most 2MERICA songs, it's a curveball that turns into a knuckleball right before you swing and miss, so yeah, stay tooned for the latest and greatest. This track is an old school sick jam with Jesus on bass, Swifty on the v-drums, some killer sax from J, Jaimeson doing his dirty rap, lil' Z on guitars, and Ezraz supplying the remaining noise. It should be available for purchase at the usual suspects (iTunes, cdbaby, amazon) and for streaming (Napster, Spotify, and Jango) in about a month.

-- Secondly, the process of 'going legit' (aka getting our chit together) has continued, with a parent company formed to manage the Flux-adel Recording Division and all of it's various progressions and proclivities. You the faithful internet cruiser won't notice or care about this, but we are all proud and wanted to make the announcement. Collinwood Sun LLC has risen.

So yeah. My manager Fahqfasse finally got some stuff done. I get to hang out back and pee on his office, the mighty brick fortress known as FF Bookman Promotions. Which is my little way of posting status updates on his wall.

LOVE
Ezrazmus 'elemento' jones, founder of the round world society, 73rd generation panfunktual bonobo

ps - here's something to cheer you up, the unforgettable Cee-Lo Green has had me singing this hook for 3 days now!

This track was one of our first and it's cool to see a video finally released for it:

Enjoy, but remember what that Green Screen is doing to you.

One was from "record sales" and one was from a "live performance". Neither was very large but they were there. Do either come close to being repayment for the time, sweat, and emotion spent on these artistic ventures?
Not a chance. Being raised in a broken family in a broken town forces me to understand being broke. The 2MERICA project has in it's many manifesto-wannabee's the line "Art for our sake" and I've always modulated on every single word there. I think Art? For? Our? Sake? It's all in doubt when it's all working right.

Damn straight it felt good cashing those checks but the money was spent on interest on my other debts before it even cleared. The joy was in the notice, the slow-build that 2MERICA has been forced into. We see if/when you stream or legally-download (sometimes even preview!) our music. We don't tour so please consider not bootlegging our tracks, and if you must, at least share it with someone if you like it. Pay it forward, like that movie with the homeless mom.

Respect -
Ezrazmus Elemento Jones of 2MERICA
