after weeks of getting jerked around by yahoo, things reached a boiling point today. we were informed that the contents of our website were gone, and that our domain name - slangcorp.com - had been handed over to some australian company for safe keeping. we still own the name, but it's been difficult trying to get access to it. in the mean time, we've brought back the page as divisioneastrecords.com
one of the most common questions we get is "what's the difference between division east and slangcorp?" some people don't even bother to ask, mixing and mingling the two names as they see fit. the short answer is: there is no difference. for the purposes of getting us back up and running, the name division east is a perfectly acceptible temporary fix. at least until we can get slangcorp.com back, which should be in a matter of days. or so we're told.
until then, enjoy. some of the links on the blog might be broken, so we suggest you use the 'artists' menu to the left to find whatever you're looking for.

slangcorp shut down by yahoo!
Yahoo has suspended slangcorp due to some sort of copyright infringement. We're waiting for confirmation as to what the exact violation is, and who made the complaint, but it's probably from a large entity if Yahoo decided to invoke their digital fine-print rights to terminate service at any time, for any reason. We are confident that no actual copyright infringement has occurred, since slangcorp.com is a strictly non-profit archival entity.
if's possible that we're being attacked by some sort of industry organization, artist or record label. it could be the federal government exerting their influence, or even breaking the law, in order to silence us. but we won't be silenced! we will be back as soon as possible.

New Shape Album! Flower//Violence!
Flower//Violence is the final installment in the Powerlines Trilogy. It is a closing summation on the personal political and spiritual ideas I touched upon previously on the albums "Raised Near the Powerlines" and "The GLASS HOUSE LP." Viewed as a trilogy these three albums touch on many themes, but none so much as those of social and political paranoia and technophobia and a feeling of isolation and hopelessness in a dissolving world. However cynical many of my messages can be at their darkest, I've always sought to balance those nuances with a hopeful spiritual aside, touching on ideas of spritual awakening, psychedelic adventuring and the oneness of all energy in the universe as a indication of our shared destiny.
