Tim has been working on a solo album for the past few years....Not Lame has
been a modest part of the process during that time, too, sending him funds
when we had what little to send in order  to help pay for recording but
living in Europe for much of the last 10 years(Estonia, Italy, Switzerland),
he's been incorporating new styles into his songwriting prowess.

The project is called Fresh Mowed Lawn and look for it in 2005, for sure.
:-)

(yes, it's absolutely wonderful SS 1/2 fans......but very much of a Tim Rose
solo album than SS 1/2 album)

For those not familiar w/ Sun Sawed In 1/2 on this list, sadly, most of
their catalog is out of print but one CD is still in print, Bewilderbeast.
Soundbites here......
