In case you didn’t know (and I didn’t until talking to Damien on Saturday after an amazing set in Philadelphia), Damien has posted a cover of Dio’s “Holy Diver” on his myspace page. In memory of the recently passed Ronnie James Dio, of course. Rock out. I’ve been listening to both Saint Bartlett and the Hoquiam album quite a lot lately, they’re both very good. Here’s a video for “Neck Bones” from the self-titled Hoquiam record (featuring Damien and his brother Drake), already out of print, so buy from tour if you get to see Damien. We have a couple of copies left in the on-line store, as well. Our good friend Tim has a blank lacquer and is the process of etching the B-side for Steven R. Smith’s one-sided LP, Floor of the Sky. :::scott:::
