TPATS

The Perm & The Skullet is a non-profit music blog devoted to bringing you music of all kinds.

Although we prefer that rustic, acoustic, unusual, whiskey soaked sound, we do like music of all styles and genres. If you have something you think we should listen to, by all mean, let us know.

All Links and MP3s are for sampling, evaluation, and introduction purposes only and are intended to provide exposure to said artist / film / site etc... If you like it, please go buy it.

Online, we recommend Insound, emusic or directly from the artist or their label. Locally, we recommend Schoolkids Records or Bull City Records.

Most Mp3 samples are only available for a limited time, usually a week or two. If there is something you missed, and it is currently unavailable or out of print, please let us know and we can see what we can do.

MP3s, Links, and Images can easily be taken down, so if you are the owner or their representation, and would like said link or file removed, just let us know and we'€™ll be happy to do so. You can E-mail me directly here for any questions or concerns or submissions.

Quote by:
Will Oldham

“As soon as it becomes your profession to critique a book, or movie, or record then, not only do you lose your passion for it, but it loses validity for whoever you’re trying to turn it onto because they’re going to be approaching it from a consumer’s point of view, not from a professional writer’s point of view.”

You can mail any materials to me electronically here or hard copy at:

I promise to listen to everything, but due to the large amount of material I receive, I can not guarantee review. Thanks!

Ghost Sessions

Ever wonder what Brian Wilson and the harmonies of the Beach Boys would have sounded like if they wrote minimal folk. Ghost Sessions comes close with their haunting vocals/harmonies and simplistic accompaniment of loose stringed guitars, vox effects, and looped samples.

Ghost Sessions is a project by Richard Wilson from Racingpaperplanes, a band I covered a few months ago. In regards to the project Richard told me how Ghost Sessions came about,

"...Basically came from having a bunch of songs i didn't think fit with racingpaperplanes. And I also had an idea of letting other people contribute their touch to the songs so I will send songs back and forth through the internet, with a few artists I admire. The two first contributors will be Boo Hiss and Grumpy Bear."

His Myspace has this to say about the music, "Songs recorded at night, when the moon and the owls are your friends. A glass of wine, burning candles and incense, a song, a drone, a whisper. A transparent figure on the wall. This is a "band in the making" and will change, morph and progress as we go along. Richard Wilson is the main force behind this recording project but will collaborate with other people from time to time. To not have a manifesto shall be our manifesto."

Limited releases are expected through the spring and summer with the first release, WHAT TO SAY ON THE WAY DOWN, out now on a 3" CDEP limited to 25 copies. Future releases will focus on tracks started by Richard and then passed out to friends to finish up. Tract mates: Boo Hiss, Grumpy Bear and THEATH are among the guest musicians who plan to appear on these releases.

Check out the track, Marigold To Your Soul, from this limited release below. Thanks Richard!
