Awesome mail art

A couple of days ago I received this small parcel courtesy of Node Pajomo himself. He gave me a cool mini mp3 CD-R.

 There was three mini albums inside. The first one was a demo of `The Screamers` from 1977 \ 1978. Here`s a couple of band pics:

I never heard of `The Screamers` before. Their music was real good at the time but I couldn`t stand that annoying high-pitched whine through the whole recording. I remember about twenty years ago or something listening to `Voivod` one of the heaviest metal bands on the planet. It was a similar situation, everything was

absolutely perfect except the damn voice. The singer was good but It  didn`t feel

like his voice could match that heavy, aggressive style.                                              

The second album is a couple of demos from `Vaccumm`. I don`t have much info regarding this band except that their members we`re all shit workers at `Maximum Rock&Roll zine`.        

                                                                                                                         

I like this, it sounds like good old crusty hardcore (amateurish angry, intense, in your face, pissed off). Just what the doctor ordered indeed. Last but not least we finish this mini CD-R with a couple of tracks from the likes of DMS. `Derelict Mosquito Spontaneity` Node Pajomo`s solo experimental noise project. He recorded everything with his Ipod. I wonder what kinda software he used. This sounds really good. The four tracks sound like spacy ambient noise, relaxing stuff. This is user friendly, it    never goes into harsh noise territory (forget about Merzbow, MSBR, or Knurl).      DMS is one of my three favorite experimental noise artists out there. I also adore `Napalmed` (he`s my favorite of all times) and `Meatball Machine`.  Inside Node`s parcel was this incredibly amazing art piece. 

Anyways, it`s a stamp but it`s an artistic stamp no doubt. Pretty nice, eh ?

This time around, mailart from USA

I received recently those amazing mailart pieces, courtesy of Node Pajomo and Thompson. The following pieces are from Node Pajomo:

Look at the nice black and white almost foggy 'atmosphere' on that one.

This last piece comes from Thompson (who needs no introduction). Look at those details. It's pretty amazing stuff indeed.

Node Pajomo Summer 2012 (zine+ cd-r)

Node Pajomo is a cut and paste contact zine. Expect a huge list of addresses of people into: mailart projects, ongoing mailart projects, tape traders, zine exchange, zine seeking submissions, collaborations, help and archives. No internet contacts, it`s all about the good old, old school postal system. This time around it`s a Node Pajomo \ Pukka Joint Massif split zine. PJM is all about reviews. I really like Node Pajomo`s reviews short and sweet. I will probably contact `Letterfounder` and `Hiroshima Yeah`zines. They seem really interesting. Included inside is a `Audio Mail Art Project` compilation  cd-r featuring 22 underground, fringe artists. The compilation offers a mixture of lo-fi pop, funky electronics, light techno, spoken word, noise, experimental noise, ambient noise and rock and roll (Staggeredly`s performance is worth the price of admission). Imagine in this day and age, no email address, no my waste page, no faceshit \ shitface page, no twitterooni, no fax machine, no texting, how technologically retarded is that. Hey respect to the old school. He`s physically doing something instead of virtually. He`s not the only one either.He`s also one of the two reasons why Mastock came back.
