So, I didn't post any new content all summer. That's pretty much because the whole project has flopped due to lack of interest. But the dream never dies, so here's how me and the gang have been wasting our time and money!
I bought a pearl blue Hohner electric guitar that is the sexiest thing I own. Although I continue to practice music and song writing daily, the death of our beloved four-track has ground all production to a halt. I also have picked up bongos and new pan flutes to round out the natural sound.
Alex bought Logic, the fancy edition, and a new MIDI controller. What that means is: he now has more synthesizer programs with more depth than he knows what to do with. Alex and I still jam together a few times a week, but nothing is recorded or performed live. Also, one of the keys broke off his MicroKORG which is really sad.
Riley has my old Japanese, humbucker electric which he has detuned beyond all recognition and plays through the delay devices that Adam built. I think he fixed his 'jo also, so I'm sure roots and blues are still on the menu.
Adam moved to Maine. I have no idea if he's still producing anything, but he bought me a present at a garage sale and that's nothing to shit at.
OKAY So, maybe we don't take this stuff seriously enough to ever be successful, or even have our friends and girlfriends know our songs. And maybe I haven't performed on stage in two years, but isn't the desire to do something at least a step in the right direction towards accomplishment?
No.

...WR TAKIN REQUESTS
For a nominal, negotiable fee Sabertooth Tiger now offers the custom tape service. We have albums and albums worth of content that can be molded into a custom tape for any personality or occasion. We'll re-record songs just for you in what ever style you want. Wonder what Zoobatman would sound like as ska? Or you think Red is Roseville should be sexier? Send an email describing your favorite kind of tape experience.
The bright brittle sound of the steel string, the warmth of the nylon, the bang of the amp... More cowbell, more banjo, more uke, casio, and noise. You're in the drivers seat now- and you decide whats on the album. Covers? You bet, we've got the internet so it can't be too hard to learn a new song or two.
The following is a list of pre-existing content that can be sampled and singled on your mixtape:
We hope to eventually have all the singles in italics online for free stream and download. But for now you have to pay, but we'll make it unique and special- for you and no one else! Don't pass up on this chance to invest on some hot art!

New 'space.
Myspace is like facebook but with slightly less moms. We've been recording stuff on tape and now it's stuff on a computer. And it can be on your computer too!

...Zoo Puma and Vampiger
According to the Sabertooth Tiger website (to be launched this month, as soon as I get hosting):
"These guys are pop musicians and happy people. Their music makes you think about dancing in a scary place. These albums are instrumental synth jams."
For the most part, the Zoo Puma and Vampiger series is a chronicle of the expanding library of sounds that open up as the studio grows. The human body is poly-rhythmic, and the off-beats and noises represent the passage of time, with each a brushstroke on the canvas of memory. But there's a few over-arching themes and moods here. Like the house cats that they are, the music is imbued with a naivety and lethargy of the bucolic family pet.
"I can play guitar as fatigued as Jeff Tweedy/
This guy on MicroKorg is a fuzzy-face sweetie/
Together we can take this town/
Lay out during the mixdown/
Swimmin' around in the lazy sound/
We don't put the tapes out and then lay around/
WE ROLLIN'/ We makin' mas songs/
Bikin' round all day or hittin' on bongs/
WE STOLE IT/ From the artists that we love/
Holding shotgun mics in our likes, aiming at the crying dove/
It's picturesque, it's art qua art for art qua's sake/
It's fun for me-but it really hurts the head/
Not that it's some compulsion like wishing you were dead/
Some days when I awake I want to stay in bed/
But music stores ring out and pull me into them instead/
It keeps one zen, skippin' rocks across the lake/
Not much fuss, to ride a bus or bike 'tween both the banks/"
Discography:
All of these albums will be available for cassette purchase within the winter, and the singles listed will also be available for free download. Even though we're backlogged in content, we're still looking for more. If you'd like us to record some of your songs for community distribution, hit me up!
