JR started recording bizarre, sometimes incoherent, improvised psychedelic jams around 2003/2004, with neighborhood hermit Bert Mettam , among others. many collaborations were recorded, as improvised jams, from Dan Lix and Peter Hearst to sir Brodie Marshall and Bert Mettam and Ryan Pumphrey, among others. Many recordings from this era exist, if you dare ask. not friendly to most ears, but unique works nonetheless.
Urinal Auto Trouble: trippy electronic solo project, maybe two or three copies made, one lost in Scottish highlands in 2004.
Angelcrotch: in 2005, very few copies made, featured Brodie Marshall, Bert Mettam, JR, Ryan Pumphrey , and Dan Lix and Peter Hearst. I don't even think some of those people know they are on this album. (no royalties,fellas)
Montreal recordings 2005-2007, varied in style from sitar ragas to electro metal bass and drums to jamming saxophone and trombone late at night while field recording it, at convents, mental institutions, the mountain's disco cross.+.
Now lives in the Ratsnest in downtown PA, where several albums worth of material sit inside a PC tower not wanting out. A great variety of local yokels have jammed in the Ratsnest, none of them ever came back for more. maybe someday.
