longdistancespitter Perfectly textured super dirty little E.P. comp. Sit at home and argue with yourself about which disk is better and always be wrong. Favorite track: St. Martha Let It Fold.

Raymond Stewart Califone records are like a scenic train trip for the mind. The pace is deliberate and the car is warm with a comfortable chair. A world of warm saturated colors drifts by the big window and nothing else in the world seems to matter that much. Press play for yourself with a fresh cup of coffee in your hand and take the ride.

Record/Vinyl + Digital Album
Deluxe vinyl reissue of Califone : Sometimes Goof Weather Follows Bad People.
Released in 2012 on the Jealous Butcher Label. Tip-on gatefold jacket with printed inner sleeves with artwork from the original CD version.

This double LP is an expanded edition of a CD of the same name. That disc collected Califone’s first two EPs (on Perishable and Road Cone), plus two new songs. For this vinyl reissue we have located four more songs – unreleased outtakes from the final Red Red Meat recording sessions — to complete the package. It’s all you need when it comes to the genesis of this well-regarded Chicago-based group. Califone started as the solo project of singer/ guitarist Tim Rutili in the late 1990s, after the dissolution of his band Red Red Meat. Soon enough, Red Red Meat members Ben Massarella and Tim Hurley joined the group, who recorded with RRM’s Brian Deck as well as at their own space and with Warren Defever in Livonia, MI. “On the first two Califone EPs, we were definitely trying to allow some deep change and possibility into what we were doing, and the door was always wide open to accidental music and automatic writing,” Rutili explains. “We built a lot of this music on accidents and chance occurrences. Some of the songs are really good; some of it sounds like an expedition that got lost in the woods. I was still playing with toy drum machines, cheap or borrowed synths and a cassette 4track, trying to make songs out of all these insane sounds.”

Me and my friend used to go on drives all the time, and a lot of the time i asked what he was playing, and a majority of the songs were from Yo La Tengo. And since i went and listened to And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out i was fan. Never thought i’d buy one of their records for myself. violetstain
