You’re welcome, Richard! I’m fairly sure I have all those tapes, so stay tuned for more BOK!

I saw this posted on my Facebook newsfeed, and made a quick comment. But I suspected my memory was faulty, so I went into my garage and started digging. When Jim was making his decalogy for CD he commented that some of his taped music was lost and I told him I thought I might have some he thought were missing. So, I gave him my collection. I did have a few that he used, but I think more importantly, I had the covers and liner notes that had gone missing from his collection. Anyway, he not only gifted me his decalogy, but he also returned my tapes. So I was able to unearth my tape collection, and sure enough… The Haunted Life was in the collection. Thanks for uploading the album. I listened through it once again, and your description of his poetic gumbo is dead on. He is, as I said in my Facebook post, hands down, my favorite indie musician. And to my knowledge, is still creating music today… just as fresh, edgy, and insightful as ever.

My Jim Shelley/Book of Kills tape collection includes:
Bloom or Die?
For the Good of the Cause
Don’t Stop the Scream
The Haunted Life
Wee Jim’s Blackeye
Big Business Monkey Vol. One
Saint Judas
Splendid Trigger
