I miss the snow

Telephone Jim Jesus - A Mouth of Fingers

I never thought I would say this, but I kinda miss New Hampshire. I mean, Brooklyn is my home, my job, my life, but you can only sit in traffic for so long or pay some exorbinant fine fee or asking price before you start to think of a simpler time. Those fucking über-creepy long drives on roads with no lights, speed limit signs or route markers. I listened to a lot of music like this up there, it's where I first discovered Anticon and the dark wonders of instrumental whatever-hop.

Telephone Jim Jesus is George Chadwick (who also produces for labelmate Sole and Pedestrian), and this album, Anywhere Out of the Everything is his second release, following A Point Too Far to Astronaut. Originally, he hails from Cow Hampshire (full circle!), and currently produces out of Oakland. The CD is a solid addition to the anticon catalog, and if you like their library thus far, you'll want to look this one up when it drops on September 25th.

So here's to the New Hampshire beefalo that roam the hills, and memories of driving through 20 MPH speed traps in small towns, soundtrack provided by anticon. I'm saving this CD for the next snowboarding jaunt.

Long time reader, first time commenter. I'm from NH too! This song is perfect for those night time drives. I'm from the Seacoast area now living in NYC for 12 yrs. Love the blog and your music taste! Thanks for hooking me up with some great music.
