My Mind- Fed Up With My Self 12" (Harvest Recordings, 2011)



My Mind is a group from Philly, born from the belly of the hydra that eats forever.

"Fed Up with My Self – De Gustibus Non Est Disputandum is the second "proper" record from Philadelphia's My Mind, a follow-up to their Path Masher 7" released in 2009 on Badmaster Records. This one-sided 12" is an ambitious step sideways in composition and execution, as the relatively straight-forward delivery of 60 second pop-punk songs has been replaced by a pretentious song-cycle/rock-opera format, and turgid lyrical content concerned with the familiar topics of Kontemporary Konsumer Kulture, religious confusion, and war.

Features contributions from Adam Cooper (Akasha Blade) and Brendan O'Connor (Serpents of Wisdom)

One-sided clear vinyl 12", b-side hand-silkscreened with terror image, pressed at 45rpm for maximum anguish, edition of 100" [Harvest Recordings]

Ghostcapital is proud to hit you with the debut rip of My Mind's very latest- an epic flurry of fitful punk-pop* miniatures arcwelded into a bold 9-minute continuum. Don't sleep on this micropress, kiddos. A future classick from some of my very best peoples. Last I checked, Harvest had only 15 copies left.

My Mind- Path Masher

I found a special message from Mr. Tim Westberg of Philadelphia's most excellent spazz-pop wizards, My Mind, waiting in my inbox just the other day. So rad! If you don't already know, you need to dig this awesomeness-

OUR RECORD IS FINALLY DONE!!
My Mind has finally finished our first record! "Path Masher" is eleven songs on a 7" with a lovely front-artwork by Margaret Rolicki (click here or see attached file for a scan of the art and inserts).

If you'd like a copy of the record, please reply to whosemindisitanyway@gmail.com with your current mailing address and I'd be delighted to send you one.

If you don't have a turntable/record player, here are the mp3s.
A few of the songs have been posted to our myspace page, so please have a listen.

Couple other things:
  • In mid-August (probably Friday, Aug. 14th at 4500 Kingsessing) Hot Guts and we will do a "proper" release show for this record and the new Hot Guts 7" (also on Badmaster).
  • "U.S. Out of My Mind/Stay Out of the Territories" -- a 60 minute cassette tape of improvised "jamz" and a couple of remixes from the same source material, featuring vocal and bass guitar contributions from Drums Like Machine Guns' Brian Morsberger. Soon available from Linear B Tapes.
  • I've begun posting music at http://whosemindisitanyway.blogspot.com/, so please have a look/listen.
