As some of you know, I've been trying to decide on a tracklist for my group Fear 2 Stop's debut release for quite a while now. We've recorded over 300+ tracks since 2001 and it's been very time consuming, especially since I've been pulling a Jardine and keep tweaking some tracks. Well, I've recently come across a few tapes done in October 2002 that is nothing like anything else we've done. If the rest of our stuff (especially over the past few years) is rather heavily produced, this is the exact opposite. We basically did something along the lines of Smiley Smile... very sparse, lo-fi trippy songs recorded in a...'haze'. Quite a bit of goofy humor, everything recorded quickly...out of the 30-40 songs recorded that month (!) almost half were done in a single day. A fellow board member(and great friend) Jay, is helping me out with the tracklist ( needed an objective ear!). I'm going to make this a limited budget-priced release. Be aware that again this is a somewhat goofy project, and that there are a few tracks with strong language (no singing, as 99% of F2S music is instrumental...we have dialogue snippets).

 So, yeah...be on the lookout for Frowny Frown....

Frowny Frown is gonna turn the world upside down. That should be the slogan for the album.  ;D

Let's just say The Yellow Vagina Song and Pepperidge Dope Farm couldn't be on an 'official' release...

$5 for the digital download of the whole thing.  Its basically funding the release of the actual debut album (looking into cdbaby right now)

Oh, and it is a double album, running about 2 hours long. None of these tracks will ever appear on a 'proper' commercial release. This is for Smiley Smile members, Facebook friends (and also some of my personal off line friends) ONLY.

This is going to be fun. The Smiley Smile board community better get ready, cause this is going to be a trip and a half!  ;D

I'm thinking instead now that this will be a FREE download for anyone who purchases our debut here or from my Facebook list. That may be better.

The fact a song called 'Pepperidge Dope Farm' exists makes me happy. Maybe best song title ever?

Dr. Fartinnose is also a pretty cool title.  ;D

Edit: Oops...perhaps Billy might not want to reveal song titles yet.  ;)
