All tracks & photos recorded on a Sony Ericsson K510i

Tantrum Man hates being 30.

So, he's recorded 30 songs all of varying degrees of fucked-upness. He recorded them all on his mobile phone - some were done walking home from work - you can hear the cars in the background. Some were done walking home from the pub.

You can hear him slur his words, grasp for rhymes which would come easy if he was sober. Make no mistake, these are raw first takes that should probably never have seen the light of day.

During October 2007, he uploaded one song (almost) every day and a strictly ltd run of 30 CD-Rs were sent out.

Tantrum Man/Swivel Chairs

"One of the big bonuses of starting this website has been meeting and hearing the songs of all the cool new artists that are on myspace like Midtown Dickens, Charles Latham, Red Clay River, Pablo Das & Patty Chung, but I have to say my favorite intro has been Tantrum Man, who is some dude in Scotland who records his songs on his cellphone on his way home from work or (mostly) the pub. He sent me his (signed & numbered) CD " I hate being 30" which takes lo-fi to a new low and is as Punk as is possible in 2007. The thrill and oddity of this art-thing arriving in my mailbox in South Salem was only tempered by the thought "wait till you're 47"!

He also included a CD of his previous work with "Swivel Chairs", which is the best thing I've heard in years (but I'm insane) and has has stayed in my player for over two months."
