On Daniel’s implied request, Dharmic Beams is the first release to go back up on major streaming platforms through our new digital distributor. I’m planning to do a set of 3-5 more in the coming weeks, possibly including a new one!
Dharmic Beams on:
More reboot news is below the fold.
(more…)Over the weekend I ran into VB, Paul B’s mom at the library event (Hi, Paul! She said you check the site but I wasn’t sure which one so I’m posting both on the main MFR site and the howie&scott sub-site. Very cool that you keep tabs on us, I had no idea!). For Paul and everyone else I wanted to post an update on recent-ish and upcoming music Scott and I have made / are making, since it’s not all under the h&s name.
“V for Voice”, our 2019 comeback record –
“An Evening at Home with Howie and Scott,” our deep pandemic stay-at-home EP –

As Mr. Furious Records approaches twenty years, we’re looking at a significant reboot.
The wind-down I planned and carried out last August hasn’t wound up again yet, for a lot of reasons. The adoption plan Cari Ann and I were a part of failed (sounds harsh, but that’s the term of art in the field). I had a health scare (I’m fine). Mom got sick and died, and I continue to help Dad in the wake of that. Amber died shockingly, suddenly. It’s been rough!
It’s time for another evolution over at The Long Play Listening Party. Then, just this week, I learned our streaming distributor is shutting down and we’ll need a new one of those. Oh, right, so:
AS OF APRIL 15 LINKS TO OUR MUSIC ON SPOTIFY, YOUTUBE MUSIC, DEEZER, APPLE MUSIC, TIDAL, AND AMAZON MUSIC WILL GO DEAD
BANDCAMP, AS ALWAYS <3 <3 (LONG LIVE BANDCAMP), WILL REMAIN AVAILABLE
(more…)In random order:
Black Milk, “Everybody Good?” (2023) – “Everybody Good?” was the first I heard of Black Milk, and after it knocked my socks off I started going backward through his discography to see when he got so amazing. The answer? Allllll the way back at the start. RIYL/FFO Q-Tip, Lupe Fiasco
billy woods & Kenny Segal, “Maps” (2023) – Five minutes in (“Soundcheck”), I knew this was my AOTY, and I never really doubted it in the months after. And when you get to “Hangman” and “Baby Steps”?? Whoooo! RIYL/FFO Madlib, Boldy James, Armand Hammer, Open Mike Eagle
Sines of Exquisite Pleasure, “Modular Systems” (1982) – Aptly named, these long-overlooked synthesizer and piano jams helped center me many times this year. RIYL/FFO Abul Mogard, Alessandro Cortini
Aesop Rock, “Integrated Tech Solutions” (2023) – Endless, generous brilliant bangers from the dean of rap studies. RIYL/FFO MF DOOM, Del the Funky Homosapien
(more…)
Selections from Only Mostly Dead is a double LP-length overture from the four-and-a-half-hour primary work.
Daniel and I talked about the project with Ebony and Joel. Hear it anywhere you pod, or below.
Recorded a rhythm guitar track last night for a song with the working title “Killer Illness” from the I Am The Brute Squad project.
Signal path:
I’ve also been finishing off lyrics for Jam My Wave / Don’t Jam My Wave, and wrote the first piece for 23 Infinite Choices (the Night Mode synth hocketing project) over the past few weeks.
