Extra candid recording update

















So remember that EP that was coming out in spring of '07?

Yeah....ummm... about that....

After careful consideration, we decided to scrap those sessions and get to work on some newer songs with better recording equipment, and things have been coming along well.

Last month we posted "Ashland," one of the first songs to be given the protools treatment, and here is another preview of the new sessions--a tune called "By Your Bedside"

We're not sure how/when the new recordings will be released, whether by regular CD or by choose-your-own-price-download or by word document. Regardless, thanks to those who have been checking back periodically to see how things are going.

And to those of you currently muttering something involving the words "chinese democracy," well... we deserved that.

In Rain /bows

The price is up to you for the new Radiohead album. Davy and Doug agree: It's at least the best record they've put out since Hail to the Thief (2003). But seriously, dudes, what is up with that title? OK Computer-->Kid A-->Amnesiac-->Hail to the Thief-->Tchotchky Eye

Even Pitchfork wasn't too hip for it. Which means it's ok to like it now.

It's only available for download now, and, Stanley be damned, without cover art. No matter--the DIY spirit is alive and well when it comes to cover art.

This one in particular confirms all our suspicions:
