Hello. It’s been a while I know. This month I’m trying to finish our second Tears Run Rings album so I’m dedicating all my free time to the studio. That said I’m hoping to start posting on a regular basis again soon. Today let’s start with an old request by Gilberto for Black Fantastic. It’s hopefully a fitting thank you since I just received the copies of the “Menina Infinito” comic he sent us (Thanks Gilberto!).
Black Fantastic was a short-lived collaboration between Matt from The Push Kings and Sterling from Madison Electric. They released the “Keep the Conversation Going” b/w “A Day’s Wait” 7″ on Saltwater Records (sw-001) in 1997. To my knowledge this was all they ever released. It’s actually been a while since I’ve played the single. It was one of my favorites of that period and happy to report still holds up well today. If you ask nicely I’ll post the B-side.

Thank you very much Ed! I just found my copy of this 7″ and when I started to listen, discovered it has some scratches on it. I remember I used to listen this all the time back in the time! Nince to hear it again on mp3. Hope you like Menina Infinito, cheers!

Yeah, “Menina Infinito” is great. Even though I don’t understand the story, it’s so well done.
And everyone, here’s the Black Fantastic B-side A Day’s Wait”. I just love this song.

Nice to see people still enjoy these tunes…there are actually about an album’s worth of songs that never got released, some of which I’m listening to now, perhaps I’ll get motivated and set up a myspace or something to share some of those songs. Thanks for digging the tunes.
