WILLIAM WESLEY & THE TINY SOCKETS-the teething tapes-2005-07


This was the first recording i heard from my pal Wes,of Pounding Mill,(formerly of Paint Lick)Virginia.he's building him a building right now,on his dad's land,to live in.A very prolific performer,he plays out live a lot,and has been a lot of places.This disc is a comp from several releases:"You're Older Than Your Teeth","Second Serving","Split with Albert Fish & the Presbyterian Church",I Don't Ever Want To See Your Face Again",a track from a Chaotic Underworld noise comp.,and a bunch of unreleased stuff.To me ,I hear Box Elder-era Pavement,with Daniel Johnston on vocals.Even the song titles and lyrics are very Daniel Johnston to the max!Very indie/alt,lotsa noisieness,but it's like noise-pop,not so annoying you would turn it off,more than likely you would turn it UP!!!And the little phone calls,skits,audio verite, in between,during,and after songs ,presents a real slice of americana,best heard thru open kitchen windows ,with pies cooling on the ledge.A true American underground legend,a real folk singer ,for now times.Try this out for size,along with the above posts,Wes will be sending more stuff.He also appears on,"We Want Our Life Back-The BP Oil Protest Compilation",below,with a jingly little tune ,that passes by like a caffiene breeze. visit Wes and be his friend on myspace at:www.myspace.com/thetinysockets
