Where can one buy Darnielle side project mp3s or CDs? Meaning The Congress, Seneca Twins, etc. Extra Glenns/Lens are on iTunes, but I don't see anything else anywhere.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that The Congress doesn't exist.


I've got big plans. ◊ Talking Blanket ◊ Yay, Butts! LOL!

Seneca Twins is one bootleg cassette. Not online anywhere I know of.

And the Congress definitely don't exist.

Seneca Twins were supposed to release a 7" on Mind Of A Child records way back but it never came out.

While The Congress don't exist, someone has reimagined what they might have sounded like here.

wckrspgt.com is the place to go for Bloody Hawaiians - here and here in addition to dtrom4's link above.

Yup, I have a letter from the guy who ran the label (from c.1996? - I'll have to check) wherein he claims to have given JD the money to record it!!

Surely that's a binding contract.

They owe that dude (and, by association - us) a record!


let's get dressed up in costumes and dance by the bar.

or at least the money.

Download the entire Wckr Spgt site and you'll find john popping up all over the place. It's fun to hear him or his guitar playing randomly show up.

He's not showing off, those are just swiped from tmg.net

Wasn't Sentwins some sort of school project? I can't recall the exact details but I remember hearing it was a project of Lalitree's.

there were, like, thirty? - don't remember - cassettes pressed up & I think distributed by Lalitree as part of her semester in Chicago - can't remember the name of the arts program she was doing there that September-December.

The Extra Glenns' "That" (High Fly Graveyard) is a Congress cover.

I'd like to clarify that my comment about The Congress doesn't exist is a reference. I can't remember from where though, I think it was liner notes to something.

Dare I say that I'm pretty sure nall is wrong on this one, btw, and that JD was not "in" Chicken Damage?

JD played drums in late period Chicken Damage but isn't on the tape.

Righto. I figured there was probably an association there even if I was calling a technicality.
