What Is Proton Proton Doing NOW??

I miss Proton Proton.

Downloadables from EP 01
"Chinese Dancer" (box.net mp3)
"Lock Picker" (box.net mp3)

Downloadables from EP 02
"Aloha" (box.net mp3)
"Plates" (box.net mp3)
"Major Solution" (box.net mp3)

I did a little googling to find out what the former members of Proton Proton are doing now. First up, Paul Fuster a/k/a Speedy46 has a number of free downloads of his new material up on ye olde myspace.

Listen: "GO to WHERE its Clear" (box.net mp3)

Next, Jarrod Ruby is drumming for Third Border. Stream some of the their songs at, uhhh... myspace.

Finally, Aron Sanchez, the former 'gass' player of Proton Proton, is making music with Arone Dyer as BUKE AND GāSS. Now we know the gass is a mashup of a guitar and bass, so I assume a buke is a bass and uke smacked together.

Listen: "Rum For You (Edit)" (box.net mp3)

Aron has also has been running Zero Mass which is a recording studio in Redhook, Brooklyn. His clients have included: Japanther, Dub Trio, Slow Learner, and Limbs among others. Why not listen to some Limbs: "Stages" (mp3).

Fuck Tha Police (ECO Edit) by N.W.A.

I know , Evan Roth a/k/a fi5e put this together in 2005, but it was recently reported over at fffff.at that is now available on vinyl (legally?? maybe not). I'm talking about the Explicit Content Only version of N.W.A.'s classic album Straight Outta Compton. It has been effaced of all non-curse words. Nice.
