We have five Hippie Cream albums, including their latest ggem, Topiary Dreams and 2007's master-stroke, In Your Ear!.

Hippie Cream produces albums that are rich and quirky and full of ethos. Words do no justice, go listen to the albums.

Dan Blackett is a producer and musician from the United Kingdom. His album The Lost Victoria Square Tapes is a collection of rich, dream-like songs from 2005-2006.

A work in progress, the tracks of Under the Moniker are demos and rough-cuts from Mr. Blackett's upcoming album release. The tracks are updated as updates are available, so check back frequently.

Emerald Cocktail is the solo project of Oxen Media Studios producer Ian F. Ian finds building blocks in everything, taking outtakes and open-mic jams and slicing them up to be combined with his evocative musicianship and insightful lyrics.

Find yourself in a mellow mood and queue up his most recent work, I am a Useful Tool. Or, listen to I Could Be Your BIG Pinata and catch a glimpse of what it is like when a handful of Oxen Media Studios artists get together for a weekend of music and intoxicants.

Sterling L. Cathala has this magical ability: he can say anything on his mind, things that would get you or me slapped (or worse), and the worst that ever happens is a smile or a shrug or a murmured "Well, that's just Sterling being Sterling."

We should be happy about this. Sterling has a unique angle on the world, and shows no fear in expressing it. His medium is short fiction, and his journal of shorts is frequently updated: Short Matches, Long Flames.

Crossing soul, hip-hop, and rock, Erik's Animal ranges from the eclectic early album How To Defeat Angry Monkey In 8 Easy Steps to the pop-sensible tour d'force that is And a Bottle of Sake...

Erik is bad as hell. But don't take my word for it.

Patrick Morrison is a Los Angeles based photographer. His photographs are philosophical explorations of the tone and texture of the world he encounters. We are currently exhibiting four galleries of his turn-of-the-century photographs.

In addition to the exhibits, Patrick keeps an often-updated journal of photographs and musings in The Accidental Trancendentalist.

These guys influenced many of us in one way or another. Their crazed home studio recordings inspired the genesis of the studios that have recorded more than half the albums on this site. The boys even inspired the name of this place.

Their early albums, Microscope Telescope and Mid-Tempo / Mid-Twenties, are headphone-mixed monuments to the struggle of adjusting to so-called "adult life." The much later Shelby Creek I is raw and demonstrative of where maturity took hold and where maturity was resisted.

Milton T. James is a writer, photographer, and musician. His touch is felt on several of the albums here, in the cover photographs and occasionally in words or music in the tracks.

A work in progress, his journal of Fanciful Creatures is an experiment in what he calls "self-adjusted reality" - a history that openly acknowledges that its fact is blurred with fiction.

For music, he offers two albums - his first solo recording, Empire Unknown, and the manic EP Carmel, or Have You Ever Lost Your Mind?.
