There’s a new article out today about The Trouble with Sweeney as a preview to the NYC weekend, tonight in Brooklyn, tomorrow in Manhattan. Get yourself there if you’re nearby. There’s another little blurb about the show here. The new ep will be mastered on Monday. There are two mixes from the forthcoming Bosque Brown record ready and more to come. Eric Fisher is slaving away over the recordings, mixing away as I type this. Quite a few btv releases are ready for digital download at www.disclogic.com at the moment, with other sites being added soon, hopefully iTunes so you can redeem your free song bottle caps, fill up your ipod, and make us rich rich rich. The Mountain Goats were great on Tuesday night and I was proud about how well I timed the show. John’s voice was going towards the end, but I enjoyed the set list which was completely different from the last time I saw him play. He had a bass player for nearly all the songs and the drummer from Manischevitz played on a couple of songs. I still haven’t bought the new record, though. Sufjan Steven’s Seven Swans cd and LP will be out…

I added some last minute shows for The Trouble with Sweeney. They’ll be in New York this weekend and Chicago next. Be sure to check them out. There are 6 songs completed for their spring cdep release that should contain a video, as well. We’re going for mastering on Monday with a release in May or so. A full-length will be recorded soon after and released this autumn. Mara Miller has finished her parts of her Bosque Brown album with Eric Fisher in Seattle. Eric is busy mixing everything down. The full-length will be ready for the autumn, as well. Denison Witmer’s Philadelphia Songs will be out on 31 March in Scandinavia and 19 April for the rest of Europe. Denison will be touring Scandinavia in early April and the UK in mid-May for two weeks with Charlemagne. There will be additional dates for Denison in mainland Europe to coincide with the UK dates, as well. :::scott:::
I just got back from a super last minute trip to the West Coast to see Jess, The Zombies, Low, Andy, and Jeff. The Zombies are on a little reunion tour and I couldn’t resist the opportunity to go. The band sounded amazing playing songs from Odessey and Oracle and some of Colin Blumstone’s solo material. Rod Argent’s solo stuff and the new songs from the Zombies weren’t quite up to snuff, but the rest of the set was so amazing that the rest was forgiveable. I was definitely glad to have gone. Low played the Knitting Factory and Jess and I were able to sit really close to the stage, so the sound was incredible. They played quite a few new songs and “murderer” from their ultra-limited 10″ release. It was a fairly long set and definitely a great one. The opener, Azalia Snail, was completely atrocious. Avoid, avoid, avoid at all costs. I’d like to think I saw them on a bad night, but I’m sure that wasn’t the case. Tonight, I’m hopefully going to meet up with my friend Emil from Oslo. Tomorrow, the Mountain Goats are playing in Philadelphia in the basement of the First Unitarian…
