I would like to welcome those who came to this page for information on my uncle, Lars-Erik Nelson.  All the kind messages, comments, and memories really means so much our family--we simply cannot express our gratitude enough!   If you haven't seen it yet, you can find the tribute page here.

And, believe it or not (I don't believe it myself), the following pages have been updated: behind.the.scenes, concerts, gallery (just a little.)

I'm taking a little break from the Internet for the next two weeks, so before I go, I'd like to offer up something special! Listen to a great new Spacehog song, "I Want To Live," recorded live at Arlene Grocery on 7/22/2000.

For anyone interested in the tech specs, this was just done with a pair of Sound Professionals standard binaural microphones plugged into a Sharp MD-821 minidisc recorder. Mixing and mastering were done using SoundForge 4.5 and T-Racks.

So...I figured out some of the things I did in the last six months and updated the concerts page. I have seen somewhere around 225 shows in the last six years, which comes out to about one show every ten days. Sounds like a lot, but in truth, it feels like even more! In honor of it all, I posted some FOWSLEY pics from last year's show at the Bowery!

Anyway, other news is that the Copperpot (formerly Tocar) CD is done, and it sounds pretty damn good. Should be interesting to see what comes of it.

And in case you missed it...check out the new title--this is now exit13.net! These days it's all about the beach on the weekends...get yourself some sun!

Not much to say...heck, it's only been seven months since I last updated this page. All I have to say is to recommend you check out a great band called Tocar and download their new song "Candy" from mp3.com. Thanks!

Is there any point to this page any more?   I'm sure there is...for whatever reason, I still get hits. Just to be nice, I updated the concerts page.  Oh, and I started a page on mp3.com, so now I have a place to post my music.   For now all I have is the same Basstastic Beats that's been here for a while, but I'm planning on posting some more material soon.  Though...when I say "soon," you know what that means.  So we'll see what happens.

So...earlier this week I went to see the Music Against Brain Degeneration tour at Tramps.  The show was just unreal; it was also dubbed as the 'World's First Headphone Tour,' as the entire show was broadcast in the venue over FM radio.   Everyone could borrow wireless headphones and listen to the show in perfect stereo sonic fidelity--it was totally cool!  Flaming Lips were headlining, but the band that really amazed me was Cornelius.  Picture Japanese metal with crazy techno beats and lead theremin at times.  The whole time there was also a huge video screen behind the stage, which alternated between showing spectrum analyzers or anime to close-up shots from the on-stage cameras.  It was definitely a worthwhile experience!

And now, what next?  Who knows...I'm getting involved with some audio production things these days.  Maybe I'll have some more material to post--after all, the reason I do all this is so I can share.  Write me and let me know if I should bother!

In some ways, I really want to put some updates on this page.  I still have a lot of photos to scan, audio to capture, and stories to write.  In the meantime, I decided to start playing with RealAudio.  So, for your listening pleasure, I give you Basstastic Beats, an original drum & bass composition recorded live in 1997.  It features only my friend Jake and I, mostly improvising, mostly out-of-tune, and mostly having a good time. I wrote this myself and we played it live for about 300 people after only one rehearsal.   I think it came out all right--let me know what you think in the guestbook!

Listen here:  Basstastic Beats (20kbps RealAudio G2)
Featuring:  Leigh 13 - 4-string fiddle; Jake - Tubs

June 17 Ben Folds is talking about recording the next Thriller--an album with eight #1 singles.  So guess what...before anyone else, I have the album!   Have a look at the cover.  If there's any interest, I'll post some sound clips soon.
My next Ben Folds Five road trip starts Sunday.  Catch me in Washington DC, Worcester, Providence, and New York City!
