Ima Robot is a rock band based in Los Angeles that formed in the early 2000s.
The band's vocalist, Alex Ebert, originally wanted to be a rapper before
becoming a singer. The band's other original members were Timmy the Terror,
Oligee, Justin Meldal-Johnsen, and the prolific studio drummer Joey Waronker.
Meldal-Johnson and Waronker were sought-after musicians who had played with Beck
before joining Ima Robot. The band had tough times and money issues before they
signed a record deal with Virgin Records. Their first full length album was
self-titled Ima Robot and featured the single "Dynomite". The band has toured
with Hot Hot Heat. Waronker and Oligee have since left the band with former
Oleander drummer Scott Devours taking over drumming duties. (www.wikipedia.org)
This "EP" (9 songs is out of EP range) was Written, Produced, Mixed and Mastered
by Ima Robot
Recorded at Poolhouse Studios, Ebert's Palace Studio, and Flip's Shop.
Mixed at Poolhouse Studio.
Liner Notes:
"To whom it may concern:
I want to explain something to you all. We cannot stop making music - we are
addicted! That is has been nearly 2 years since we have released any does not
refute this! For our upcoming Virgin Records release we wrote over 100 songs.
This is not to brag - I'm sure my Robot brethren wish sometimes, as i do, that
we were not like this, that we did not suffer from this terrible prolific
affliction! Yet contractually we are allowed only to release what the suits see
fit! And what are we to DO with such a plethora of sitting music? HOARD it to
ourselves!? How CRUEL and USUAL! Yes, but that's what those who unwittingly seek
to oppress us would have us do!
BUT WE CANNOT KEEP THIS MUSIC TO OURSELVES ANY LONGER!
You see, SHARING is what life is all about. When you bite into a tasty piece of
Al Pastor or Carne Asada, you WANT other people to taste it too! You may not
give them a bite of YOUR burrito, but you will almost certainly emplore them to
purchase one for themselves.
This is the fundamental catalyst of Human intimacy, and as Human intimacy has
been proven a biological imperative, let us name this fundamental catalyst The
Al Pastor Imperative. (Not that Al Pastor itself, is the catalyst, you
understand - it's just a good example...)
So you see, despite the despot's constraints and commands, we CANNOT submit!
Indeed, under the Al Pastor Imperative, we have a biological demand put upon us
by Nature herself to SHARE our MUSIC with YOU!
And so this letter's intentions are twofold: one - to share with you, our
beloved audience, the intimate details of our artistic nautres, and two - to
make IMA ROBOT's case against any and all lawsuits that IMA ROBOT's "owners" may
consider against IMA ROBOT for releasing this "extra", "superfluous",
"un-commercial", "artsy", "quirky", "no-hook" music to IMA ROBOT's beloved
LISTENERS.
To re-cap: IMA ROBOT, acting under the Al Pastor Imperative and by the decree of
the Great Dictator herself - Mother Nature - whose authority supercedes and
Earthly edicts or federally-sanctioned agreements , and whose overring authority
OBLIGES us to share this music with you, is hereby sheltered from any Earthly
reproach!
So please enjoy this very special music that we have made all on our own, in our
own houses, especially to share with YOU.
With very much love, Alex"
