The small music label I started with a couple of friends back in the day is now a decade old! To celebrate our tenth year, we’ve compiled some of our favorite tracks. If you know and love Terminal 2 Recordings, thank you for all your support! If you are new to T2R, welcome to our eclectic, international community – enjoy the music!
Two kindred poems I wrote became two spoken songs, thanks to talented musician Blair Dean. The inspiration was a combination of jazz (though this is definitely not jazz music) and the magic and folklore of the Ozark mountains. I hope you enjoy the result. I won’t even bother to attempt to name the genre! And take a moment to take in the intriguing cover art – “Der Förster” – from Germany-based artist Nate Anspaugh.

Loud, fast, silly, shitty and…cultural??? Yes! The Mistleturds go to Barcelona this year for the holidays! Join the gang as they explore fun Christmas traditions of Catalonia, like Tio de Nadal and the Caganer.
This is the third song by the Mistleturds, a ridiculous side project with family and friends.
You can listen on Bandcamp or YouTube. If you’d like to download on Bandcamp – name your price. Money from all sales goes to Be The Match, which matches cancer patients with donors for life-saving blood stem cell transplants.
Whatever possessed me to make a country song about a year ago possessed me to make another. And just like they did for the first song, the band Language of the Birds was able to make absolute magic out of what started as my humble recording.
I hope you enjoy both versions of “At Least I Had You” – the full band version and the acoustic version.
You can listen to the song here.

I am really honored that the collective Low-Velocity Society has taken three of my poems and set them to music. The concept is this – one poem, one voice and one instrument. I just love Karen Versoza’s voice, and it is accompanied by the gorgeous piano of tokiochouetsu. I hope you like what they have done as much as I do!
You can listen to the whole thing here. And Holy Human Waters is available soon on all music streaming platforms.
Enjoy!
