***BACK IN STOCK!!! "The concept at Mind Meld is to give our favorite artists an outlet to create whatever kind of record they want in hopes of getting a better understanding of their cranial workings. There is no current artist more fascinating to me than QUINTRON and I'm honored he agreed to be our second release. Armed with a mellotron he turns in a six song instrumental 12" of late night exotica and wacked out dixieland. Each track sets a mood and leads the mind to wander through the fantastical. It's a party record but not of the lamp shade variety. Vibe music to get the soul dancing. Perfect for the late nite soiree, the dark basement lounge, or a tropical getaway. I can't think of a setting where this album wouldn't fit. Hell you could probably play this at a funeral and get the corpse moving. An album for daydreaming and night living. Wild, weird, and absolutely engrossing." "The songs come across as a bizarro-world take on the exotica oddness of Martin Denny and Les Baxter, and the record’s vibe is something like 'Tiki Bar at the End of Time.' Pick a riff from any track, and you could turn it into the leitmotif for a groovy B-movie bad guy — one who digs composers like Raymond Scott and Terry Riley, anyway."—Nashville Scene

This is the first book from New Orleans musician and inventor Quintron—a short, multi-layered tome that pays tribute to a dangerous life on the road. The setting is Europe, but the book is just as much about the illusions of American identity. A not-so-glamorous life of rock ’n’ roll is pulled apart to reveal blood vessels that run beneath the obvious. The tales are funny and thrilling and mostly true... someone almost dies on every page. Renowned puppeteer and filmmaker Panacea Theriac (aka Miss Pussycat) contributes drawings throughout. Foreward by novelist and psychoanalyst Tim Lachin. “If Dr. Frankenstein were working with raw material from Madame Curie, Delia Derbyshire, James Brown, and Wilhelm Reich, the result might be something like Quintron. Underground inventor, composer, record maker, impresario, and performer par excellence. There is nothing and no one like him and this is his first book and it’s a gas!” —Ian Svenonious “Great reading! Microtel description was right on. Stockholm to Helsinki ferry was always a Dead Moon curse. How do you get 86’d out of a cafeteria? Way cool.” —Fred Cole, Dead Moon

Imagine being a kid in 2010 and finding yourself on a trip to the famous New Orleans Museum of Art. You pass by the Rodin sculpture on the grand marble stairway and the vaults of ancient Japanese pottery on the third floor; you breeze through the French impressionists, the Faberge collection, the Joseph Cornell and the Warhols in the modern wing. Then suddenly you pass through a soundproof glass door into a room with a crazed looking person wearing headphones, banging on an organ and screaming into an old microphone. Is this an exhibit? The cacophonous display is indeed behind a velvet rope with a sign cautioning us not to speak to the screaming man. Why do portraits of sexy ladies cover every inch these solemn white walls? What the @#!& is going on here? Witness the recording of the latest Quintron album, Sucre du Sauvage (“Sugar of the Savage”). From January 29th through May 2nd of 2010, Quintron punched a time clock and reported to work at NOMA to write and record this album in a public gallery space. During the final seven days of the session, the artist imprisoned himself within the museum and its surrounding grounds—a beautiful swampy nature preserve called New Orleans City Park. He roamed the park by night making field recordings and then weaved them into the final mixes of the album by day. The week concluded with a blindfolded listening party in the NOMA auditorium (see album cover). Part one of this severely...

***"The tenth full length QUINTRON record and the first to be released on legendary Memphis label Goner Records. It's about fucking time. This album was recorded entirely live in a bizarre 2-track studio set deep in the heart of New Orleans’ now famous 9th Ward. The live tracks were then played back and sung over. Lets call this the ‘6th grade bedroom style’ of multi-tracking. For any interested equipment nerds, the Spellcaster Lodge studio consists of 4 microphones, one custom Neotek Series 1 board, and a 2 track tape deck. And a corkscrew. Quintron's musical partner MISS PUSSYCAT plays maracas and sings backup as well as entertaining all age groups with her highly amusing technicolor puppet shows. She has just recently finished filming a 10-episode puppet drama called Trixie And The Tree Trunks for VBS (Vice) TV.”

***JAMSKATE is a 5 song 12 inch ep dominated by two versions of the mysterious swirling skate anthem, "JAMSKATE". This song has a cajun melody and a perfect skate tempo of 129 BPM. Drug problem is a classic song from New Orleans hardcore legends KAJUN SS - a band fronted by the legendary fucked up songwriter King Louie. Wild West is about post Katrina Bourbon St. and how the orange vest is the new cowboy hat. The comedy skit at the end is some rambling fantasy about taking over Mardi Gras in Mobile Alabama. This EP is limited to 500 copies of vinyl only.....all hand-assembled by Q himself. ON TOUR WITH THE BLACK LIPS!!!
