HERE IT COMES!
the ’00s were a crazy ten years but you survived em!
Take a break from the shopping and wood chopping! Kick back, curl up with a foil blanket, drink some dehydrated 8bit-eggnog and celebrate with some good old-fashioned post-apocalypso, canned and chipped ham-core electronic tunes!
There’s a new EP of Elijah B Torn tunes and its an EP of survivors from the Vigilante Era.There’s 5 NEW tunes - all songs were written, recorded, produced and mixed by Elijah B Torn aka Sarge aka Sargemakesloops aka Charlie Foxtrot aka Thadeus Ignatius aka HW Torn.
Check out the cooooool new itunes page HERE!!! you can preview all the songs or even BUY it! Its less than $6usd!!! holy fireless yule log! thats less than a beer in new york city!
some scientific data and information:
David Spelman was kind enough to lend his guitar to mangling on “Nexter”.
Eric Perlmutter was gracious enough to lend his bass, guitar and drum performance to vivisection on “toybeets”.
David Torn was generous enough to lend his necklace of ears to mastering.
Scott Baker was compassionate enough to dissect album art.
AND a Bonus Track “FuckingVampireZombiePoachie” which was originally released on the “Welcome To World 2″ Compilation from www.GameMusic4all.com.
Go wassail and carol and decorate pagan trees and check out the music!
This is what the critics are saying:
“What the hell is this robot noise?” - US Weekly
“A clear danger to our national security!” Donald Rumsfeld
“Sounz lie afext win has sess wif Primuth” - Drunk Guy at the Dentist
Happy Holidays and a Merry Winter!

check out me using SourceAudio’s HotHands MIDI_EXP in this video of me playing my song “Dangerous” from my Vigilante album. This is from my show in Ithaca back in June that someone was kind enough to upload to tube.
MIDI_EXP is a wireless hand held midi controller. check it out: Hot Hands MIDI_EXP <= right there. more to come on this and how i’m (ab)using this soon…

Hey People of the Future!
2009 is all up on us and unless you are a Microsoft Zune than we are all recovered from eggnog-holiday gift-wrapped goodness and right back to work/school! So Let’s ring in the start of a new Year with some live music!
Saturday January 10th, 200Nine-
Spike Hill
184 Bedford Ave
Brooklyn NY
FREE!!!
8pm- Elijah B Torn (your humble narrator)
9pm- Gold Streets
10pm- Hans Blix
I have yet to see Gold Streets but apparently they kick much ass. I always love me some Hans Blix! They always kick ass live and you can purchase their album (that I mixed) or check out some of their new material here. kickass.
also- For “You Are Lucky I am Not a Vigilante”, I did chose NOT to make any CD’s and put my album on iTunes as a digital only release. However you can still pick one up at my shows in a very special form…
what is the best way to hide contraband?! in Toys of course!!
so….I chose to put my album as fully CD quality 16bit 44k aiff files on a 2GB usb mini drive INSIDE a special Elijah B Torn rubbery ducky! Since it is a harddrive with more than enough room this also has pre-ripped unlocked mp3s, the preview video, FULL quality artwork (so you can print it out and put it on your college dorm wall next to Van Gogh and Bob?) AS well as a super special old school interactive printout you can put in the MAILbox and send to people you love (to hate)! PLUS its a reuseable 2GB harddrive!!! all for the low low price of a CD!!! (cat not included)
it seems that NASA seemed to have a similar idea too….click here
