Well, I am finally releasing something new again this upcoming week. It isn't a SpaceCat zine, unfortunately. But, I am working on that too. It is noise, not rock music. So, if you aren't into harsh experimental stuff this may not be your kinda thing. The title is "Pornolocaust" by Mike Damn Nobody & Grinding Deviance. It will be available on RecycleTape and digital download formats from my Bandcamp page. Downloads are whatever price you think is fair, even if it is zero. I don't mind. I had to remove one track because it was TOO LOUD to successfully upload. Wow!
​Making noise tapes allows me to use material that I didn't think would work on a typical Mike Nobody release. So, instead of throwing perfectly good, although incomplete, recordings away I can stick them there. This is part of the creative process that I am trying to adhere to. The perfectionist side of my personality needs to go sit in the corner for awhile and let me and my chaotic side work. "Done is better than perfect."

I usually need a push from someone else to get going. But, social anxiety and stressing out about other everyday shit grinds it all to a halt. Having a measurable timeline or schedule helps me to focus, as long as I don't force it or become too negative with myself. I am trying to break my projects down into smaller bits, working on them one-piece-at-a-time instead of taking it all on at once...alone. I've gotta find some internal balance here, somehow.

Mind you, I have tried to maintain a schedule before. I have made plans in the past that just totally fell through. Everyone got pissed at me. It wasn't always my fault. But, NO ONE CARES. They only want results. So, I am keeping those details to myself. You will see my stuff when it is ready.

Anyway, you should be getting more messages from me if I can keep this up, while I'm still on a roll. So, "Haste Ye Back" guys!

    Mike Nobody

    Turning Junk Into Punk Since 1985

    Mike Nobody
    is an American multi-instrumentalist, singer, composer, visual artist, and creator of experimental
    ​custom-made instruments. Diagnosed with major depression and social anxiety disorders, he is regarded as an outsider artist–musician by his contemporaries in the fine art and alternative music scenes. Known for his highly eclectic style and diverse projects, his sound incorporates a variety of music genres, both popular and experimental, with a predominantly Lo-Fi aesthetic. Much of his work consists of ultra-limited, handmade cassettes recorded alone in his home, with whatever means that were available at the time.


    His visual work consists primarily of “stream of consciousness” drawings and mixed media paintings
    ​
    made from repurposed materials, with occasional ventures into film & video.


    Creating in near anonymity since the 1980’s, most exposure to his work has been primarily in the form of mail art packages, ad-hoc self-distribution, and a few local retail outlets. He gained some notoriety in the Metro Detroit area, beginning in the 1990’s, and has collaborated with numerous musicians across the sonic spectrum. Whether people were listening or not, however, Mike continued to compulsively produce music and art pieces. Exponential growth of the internet in the intervening years has given Mike new opportunities to reach an audience, unavailable to him before.
