Conversation Suicide is One of Tucson Arizona's most amazing, and eclectic, underground collectives. They have been headed up by PHLEGM on BASS/Lead VOCALS for over 7 years along with a hoary host of talented & creative musicians. Associating with this collective includes the benefit of being the house band at one of the BEST Tucson UNDERGROUND MUSIC Scenes available, at their practice space in the ARTFEST MUSIC HAUS. These Shows at PRINCEZZZ and PHLEGM's humble abode often draw more under-attended clubs. ARTFEST provides a venue for Musicians who create & perform ORIGINAL music and are tired of NOT getting any reward for doing it. Some of Tucson's Finest Musicians have been in the band CONVERSATION SUICIDE and many of that Local Scene's FINEST Bands, and associated musicians, have played one of their EARLY shows, before local acclaim, at an ARTFEST show. This has been going on for over 12 years. The foremost example is the SIGNED band Sanity in DEATH (HAMMERMILL label), who not only played at PHLEGM & Princezzz' wedding but have played the ARTFEST Haus at LEAST once a year since 2003. ALSO RECESS RECORDS band SWING DING AMIGOS and the members of SHARK PANTS played an ARTFEST, before they were signed. An interesting number of other SIGNED artists have done some time at an ARTFEST show in the early stages of their music careers.

But that's what happens when your millions of miles away, or in another dimension....	Live Performances
	Raymond Porter and pHLeGm in space, Part 2 This is part 2 of the lovely, but VERY LONG-winded (sorry!) Conversation with Conversation Suicide, done by Raymond Porter before the trip to the UK. Ray was gracious enough to interview me, even though my responses are from millions of lightyears away, from a communications substation; I believe it was somewhere near Planet 9 in the Bloxlargonian Galaxy. uhh... please forgive the poor sound quality of my voice. -pHLeGm	Live Performances

Conversation Suicide	2/16/2010 12:44:27 AM J.P. - You KNOW you fuckin' ROCK, man. I'm pretty proud of that tune, and think it's got a slight stones-y vibe. I'm SERIOUS as a Heart-attack about doing "used to be cool back in high school blues", as a punk/blues cover, once I get to Leicester, England. Gonna try and draft SCHOOL of Product Recall for Guitars, and YOU too, if you'd like. KENNY: I needed to hear some good news from you; once Aimee and I have a finished product, we'll definitely be communicating with you. It's gonna be different, I'm pretty sure of THAT! She's cool as hell. Crossin' my fingers for the Leicester, England trip plane tickets, asap !!! The RISE of Product RECALL, and Romulus X Records UK \ awaits....
The Wizard X	2/14/2010 5:03:56 PM Phlemboyant... Do that track with Aimee... positive vibes all around... Something I can definately promote for you two... I see a few tickets to England in your future... Learn how to cook fish and chips the right way dude... You will be needing that talent over there... Peace... K
