Robin Crutchfield & Nina Canal meet after 30 years and reminisce.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDrNak4hYAE
Nina Canal and I met in November 2010 during her brief stopover in New York for the Mudd Club 57 New Wave Vaudeville Reunion and some reunion gigs with Ut, and we had a chance to sit down in my apartment and chat about the old days: art and music in the 1970s and how we came to New York and formed our first bands.
Apologies for the quality of the clip, due to the limitations of Apple's Photobooth which we relied on. The images are reversed, the visuals slightly out of sync and the length of the piece cut short. We actually rambled on extensively for about an hour and a half and most of it was lost. But, at least, this bit was saved and I think fans may find a few interesting back story bits and insights here. Enjoy!

What's new with Robin Crutchfield and Dark Day
Thanks loyal followers. This note is long overdue. I'm not as attentive as I should be to technology.
So sorry.
Thought I'd catch you up on Robin Crutchfield and all things Dark Day.
San Francisco fan Josh Cheon reissued my second Dark Day lp "Window" on limited edition vinyl on his label Dark Entries this past year and sales are quite brisk. Appreciation is greater than first time around when Plexus mishandled the project and it ended up immediately in bargain bins then disappeared. I've had fans from Germany, Belgium and Italy literally begging for copies ever since. So, now they are available through darkentriesrecords.com. If you don't have a turntable, but still would like to access this music, the digital downloads for the album can be sampled and purchased at http://www.cdbaby.com/Artist/darkday
Plans are in the works to release the Exterminating Angel lp on vinyl this summer, and eventually a 12 inch of Hands In The Dark/Invisible Man backed with the 6 Exterminations and possibly some remixes.
In the fall, Nina Canal passed through New York City reuniting with Ut for a few gigs and we had a chance to sit and reminisce. I recorded our conversation in a half hour Mac photobooth session and will make that available when I can figure out how to post a 38 minute video clip somewhere.
Important Records has promised to release my next solo harp and drone album sometime this Spring, so that's something to look forward to and I am currently available to guest dj and looking for opportunities.
Be well one and all.

Welcome to my Blog
We're nearing the end of January, the first month of the first year of the new decade, the second of this millennium. I hope to introduce a wide array of artifacts of interest to fans and friends alike.
For starters, those who don't know much about me can find a variety of resources by Googling my name. From a biographical entry on wikipedia to sound samples on iTunes and CDbaby.com to video clips on youtube and interactive bits on facebook.
Your support both monetary and otherwise, is greatly appreciated.
Welcome to my world, that of Robin Crutchfield, Dark Day, and DNA.
