Will it include those 2 recent tracks (forgetting the names) that came out in the past couple years on a 12"? I actually really like those a lot too.

Don't think I ever posted this here, but Matt sent me a nice little 'thank you' package following a phone conversation him and I had. (He asked Woimsah for my contact info.) Dude was cool as heck and the nicest guy ever! Definitely the best music-related phone conversation I've ever had.

Who'da thought a 50 cent gamble would lead to this?? It's beautiful how it all turned out...

Herm's pretty much the starting point for this whole thing. He's the one who bought the first Cassell LP at a flea market for $0.50 and was kind enough to share with a few people...it all sorta stems from there.

But, unfortunately, I was sort of screwed when it came to acquiring info on the artist. My buddy had gotten the track from a collector in Arizona who, if legend serves correct, had found it in a Goodwill store. The title of the song, presumably, was the only thing we knew for certain. It couldn?t really be deemed any particular genre ? we couldn?t even begin to guess what ethnicity this guy could be. I had to ask and ask my friend to try and find out whatever info he could, even if it was just a last name. After a few weeks of constant nagging, a small portion of the mystery had been solved ? MLC = Matthew Larkin Cassell.

I titled the mp3 MLC-InMyLife on some ol' secret squirrel sh*t, then sent it to BSides88 via Soulseek. He loved it, sent it to Woimsah who in turn asked BSides88 for more info. BSides came back and I gave up the name. Then Woimsah put in crazy work to bring this whole thing to light.

Yerp.

And therefore, Matthew Larkin Cassell: The Complete Works = a product of soulstrut.

So Bay Area dudes were sleepin' on this record prior to someone out of state re-discovering it?

I don't think that's exactly true.

 

Great story. I'll be checking for this when it's out.

I don't think that's exactly true. You'd think Josh n'nem woulda been up on it.
