FINGERPOINTING features Jim O'Rourke's unique mix of the FINGERPAINTING material released in 1999. At the time, Mayo wasn't into Jim's strange formula. Almost ten years later Mayo dug it out of the piles and loved it. We spun it and dug it as well. Hence the re-issue of a new FINGERPAINTING. Now called FINGERPOINTING.

FINGERPOINTING follows The Red Krayola's ur- formula, first elaborated in The Parable of Arable Land (1967), designed to immerse and entertain the listener and confound the FM DJ's and anyone else's quest for the perfect seque in a narrative of counter - cultural meaningfulness. Where FINGERPAINTING reiterates  the structure and the
same material of FINGERPAINTING. It too is a parade of freak outs and songs alternately, and, like its progenitors, a dynamic synthesis that puts in play all that is at stake in the musical relation under the rubric of entertainment.

The songs are by Frederick Bathleme, Steve Cunningham and Mayo Thompson. The freak outs are not 'authored' in the usual sense. All of the music was recorded at Treehouse Studio in Pasadena, CA at the same time as the recording of FINGERPAINTING. It features the performances of David Grubbs, George Hurley, Albert Oehlen, Stephen Prina, Elisa Randazzo, Mayo Thompson, Tom Watson and Sandy Yang. The mix is by Jim O'Rourke.

Listen and See how awesome this version is. That is if you want to.
