greetings! welcome to a special spring issue of the carpark newsletter....
below:
carpark sets new release world record
greg davis and hrvatski meet world
marumari rare and carpark dj appearances
and gossip...
carpark one two three red light
may 22nd is the release date for not one...not two...but three new
carpark titles! we present the marumari remix cd, takagi masakatsu
"opus pia" cd, and takagi masakatsu "opus pia" dvd (a carpark first).
we can't wait for this shit to hit the fan! anyway....for more info
on these titles check out the carpark shop
(<

june 18th will see the carpark debut of japanese artist ogurusu
norihide. a friend of takagi masakatsu, ogurusu makes pop music with
some electronic and acoustic flairs. think of the beatles, brian
eno, jorge ben and maybe even taylor deupree.
late summer and fall will see the release of the kit clayton/safety
scissors ping pong cd, signer "star club red" cd/double lp, casino
vs. japan cd/lp, a carpark compilation, and more from takagi
masakatsu and ogurusu norihide. should be the busiest year for
carpark yet!

gossip gossip gossip
much information floating around the carpark world this month. as
greg davis and hrvatski drive across america we occasionally receive
emails from greg's pager. somehow they leaked out that they've been
living off ricecakes and mango juice for the last week and that they
haven't found fresh carrot juice since leaving austin. i'm sure all
will be better once they hit california. can't wait to see the
pictures...
takagi masakatsu is also rumoured to be playing at sonar in barcelona
this year. chances are good that greg davis will also be playing in
barcelona around that time at a non-sonar affiliated event. you
should check out the may issue of spin cos word on the street is that
takagi masakatsu's "pia" double cd release is getting a joint review
with the new boards of canada record! we can't wait to read that
one...
marumari has a track from his wolves hollow release on the new
"documenta" compilation on the UK agenda label.
greg davis and ogurusu norihide will have a beach boys cover on a
beach boys tribute compilation coming out on the japanese
label/collective <
http://www.oct.zaq.ne.jp/tropfen/>troprec.
greg davis will also record a session at dutch radio VPRO in may.
that's it
thanks for reading. please get in touch if you have any comments or
questions...
best,
