Ballsdeep

This here guy, Andrew Cedermark, plays guitar in Titus Andronicus and also does the dew solo. His Myspace states that he's played a single show as his solo self, during which he covered Galaxie 500 and Spacemen 3 so he's alright by me. His 'Space also admits his undying love for Joe Murray's classic Nickelodeon program Rocko's Modern Life (The B-52's Kate Pierson and Fred Schneider do that theme song from Season 2 onward).

Knickknacks aside, Cedermark's music, or at least those songs streaming from the Myspace, are all over the place. The first one up, "Now Is Better Than Before," seems to draw from Jonathan Richman in its straightforwardness, while the next track, "When the Ship Comes In," blisters with distortion only achieved by poor recording equipment. Two of the other tracks, "From Memory" and "Will Not Compete," seem to show more promise, as they're full-fledged songs, enthusiastic and excited, perhaps more in line with his involvement with Titus Andronicus.

Cedermark's got a new release, in a way, but with no certain date of release. In his own words: "I will have prepared for your delight a BOX SET of sorts that will include two cassette EPs, ballsdeep artwork, and a booklet whose contents are yet to be determined. Boxes will cost somewhere between five and ten dollars, likely on the cheaper end, and you will be able to purchase them over the Internet so long as I can figure out a way to take money from you." You heard the man. Ballsdeep artwork. The box will include his new EP along with Mighty Oaks' Mighty EP. Message him, see what's up, and try to give him your dollars.
