a wee change at willicamp

You might have missed it, as it's gotten a bit dusty o'er there, but there's been a wee bit of change over at willicamp. Any and all monies put to downloading the williwaw sound recordings there - an abridged live set, two extended players, one single and a casino-drone (patent pending) double album - will go to the Scottish Association for Mental Health (SAMH). Granted, there is little demand for these mighty collections of ones and zeroes, even the gorgeous gatefold beauty that is the diversionette. As a wise gent once said, there is no commercial potential in this [ed. referring to an early critique of Zappa, making for exceedingly high if exceedingly dry praise]. But perhaps there is charitable potential.

the diversionette is released

DESIRE.

the diversionette, the thrilling new extended player from williwaw, is now available to slake your thirst for overlong overtures on stasis and decline. thirty minutes of amp'd uke excess in a beautifully hand-wrought if limited edition of 200. but that's not all! there's also the extra-mega-bonus disque of fortysome minutes of remarkable remixes from taperecorder (brooklyn), gkmachine (glasgow), skizzwang (an undisclosed bunker) and, yes, even williwaw itself.

CONSUME.

...and also can be heard, desired and consumed via willicamp.

OBEY.

while the horses are on the tracks, and the tracks are being pressed into shimmering coasters of light for the new extended player, the diversionette, set to sail on the fifteenth of march, here is a wee taste - the crudest of "megamixes" - from the SUPER DUPER BONUS CD that comes with every hand-assembled copy of the diversionette. Behold, the the diversionette : return of the earth men remixes !

these wee snippets of snip-and-paste mastery come from the likes of taperecorder (brooklyn usa), gkmachine (glasgow, scotland), skizzwang (planet spudd) and your beloved comrade williwaw. these stalwarts were all part of the december 2011 massive, the night of the earth men. the dream of the earth men lives on!

The artwork is basically complete. There's a wee matter of the disques themselves, but the drawering appears to be done, the fine, fine drawering of FiST.
