Son of Timatollah

Received my Ion USB turntable ($99.95 at Costco with free shipping) the other day and finally got to mess with it today. Felt compelled to rip immediately my work with X-04 and with Ed Fitzgerald and Civic Duty, since those are the only vinyl (acetate in one instance) artifacts that I was ever a performing artist. Hope to get around to ripping music off of 4- and 2-track tapes soon.

Without further delay, for your listening pleasure, from the early 1980s:

• "Synchro," X-04 (Mike McCurdy, guitar; Bryan Talbot, drums; Tim Wilson, synths)


• "The New Boy," X-04 (Mike McCurdy, guitar and guitar synth; Tom Gregory, drums; Tim Wilson, bass synth)


• "Living with a Tiger," Ed Fitzgerald and Civic Duty (Ed Fitzgerald, words, vocals, and guitar; Judi Fitzgerald, vocals; Randy Goodman, drums; Greg Jennings, bass; Tim Wilson, synth and piano)


• "Johnny Panic," Ed Fitzgerald and Civic Duty (Mark Ball, bass; Ed Fitzgerald, words, vocals, and guitar; Judi Fitzgerald, vocals; Kyle Fredrick, guitar; Randy Goodman, drums; Tim Wilson, synth)

Details, band drama, perhaps at some future time. I hope it's okay with Ed Fitz that I posted his music. If not, at least I'll get to hear from him!
