Artist: RANALDO, CODY
Title: Beating You Up
Format: Cass
Label: Western Unconscious
Country: USA

"Ranaldo here offers what we believe is his first available recording.
Side A is a hypnotic exposition of a single eastern-tinged theme,
delivered on a guitar whose beautiful open tuning clearly reveals his
lineage. Side B is a foray into unexpected territory: damaged synth and
drum machine with swirling feedback loops, just shy of confrontational.
Ranaldo wisely presents his tape like the two sides of a coin; treasure
hunters take note. Edition of 100."

The myspace stuff is really fucking cool.

hey guys,

if anyone is interested theres a show on Feb 3rd at the Knitting Factory in NY of The Skaters/Cody Ranaldo/Kelli Rudick

its gonna be 5 bucks, and it should be pretty cool

I'll have a new tape there too if you like

thanks

-Cody

way to go, cod.
about time you got back up on a stage again.

Niiice.
Today I got the "beating you up" cassette (fastest usa->italy shipping ever, sent on january 4th). Still have to listen to it, but I loved the tracks on myspace.
Will the new tape be released by some label or is it a "live show giveaway" thing? I'd like to get one.
Oh, this may sound pretty weird, but "welcome to the board", ha ha.
Keep up the good work.

the new tape will be also on this label Western Unconscious and i am trying to sell them for $5 but i'll probably take anything you got (wristwatches, shoe horns, money bills)

You'd think he'd post on the "introduce yourself" thread first, wouldn't you?

This monday at the Knitting Factory:

7:00 PMPabst Blue Ribbon Art Tour w/
DJ Awesome Derek (of Awesome Color), Cody Ranaldo (DJ set), Rezound (DJ Set)
FREE!

I bought a copy of the new tape, and it's excellent. Totally different to "Beating You Up", but equally brilliant.

thanks for the "review"/reminder sonicl! just emailed him.

Today I got the 2nd tape, really nice listen!
sonicl was right.

Ive only heard the myspace stuff, which is pretty good!!

i like the myspace stuff. experimental with an electronic edge. i'd love to attend a dj set if they ever have one around here.

Sounds worth checkin out

thanks Moshe!

thanks thanks thanks
wonder if h looks like his father...
beating you up 4 is really good

I've just got a new car, and the in-car entertainment is old school radio cassette, no CD, so tapes has been my music for the last couple of weeks. This morning's sounds were Cody's two tapes, and they sounded fantastic. I wish he'd get his ass in gear and record another one.

I have him as a myspace friend for quite sometimes now. His music is interesting. Maybe in the future he could make a duet like The Carpenters with Coco, but all about noise.

^^^would be called COCOCODY
