three things

Happy New Year, first of all. Second, I’m hating the rain today. Really hating it. But third, I have a new favorite band/recording project: Troop 237. Check it out: myspace.com/troop237.

Rose Melberg

I saw Rose Melberg tonight! I even met her and shook her hand. For those not in the know Rose was in the Softies, and is one of my very favorite songwriters and singers. Top 5 favorite. Rose is in the middle of her first tour in a long time, and tonight she was in Olympia. It sounds like she’ll be recording a new record sometime next year — check out this site for more. She played a bunch of new songs and a few old ones. If you’re in Portland tomorrow or Anacortes Tuesday you shouldn’t miss her.

Ball of Wax

I should mention you can now order Ball of Wax Volume 2 on the J-Shirt site for $3 plus $1 shipping. That’s a ridiculously cheap price for 19 songs in a handmade, screenprinted sleeve (care of Levi Fuller). Ridiculous! Order several!

Shirts

Hello, I have an announcement about the graze t-shirts. I’ve ordered more of them, and I’ve added a size, and also decided to do away with some sizes. Specifically, I’m doing away with the women’s shirts because: 1. it’s way, waaay too complicated to deal with that many sizes at shows. It’s ridiculous. It really is. And 2. as far as I’m concerned, t-shirts are t-shirts. It’s true that I don’t have breasts, technically, but in fairness, I also don’t not not have breasts. Sizes will now be: Men’s S, M, L, XL, XXL. I also still have some women’s shirts, in the following sizes and colors. Olive: S, M/OS, L. Brown: S, M/OS. Buy them before they’re bought’en!

Things

  • I have a track called “conditions” on the latest Ball of Wax audio quarterly put out by Levi Fuller. You can buy a copy (19 songs!) at www.ballofwax.org for $4. I’ll have it for sale up here at some point in the future, and I’ll probably have copies at shows.
  • I’m playing at the Funhouse tomorrow at 9:30pm with Southerly, Snowdrift, and Open Choir Fire. I’ll be solo for the most part, but Seth and Jeffrey should be joining me on a few songs, which will rule.
  • Both the graze and Rosyvelt are in the midst of recording albums. I’ve been saying that for a while but it’s true, just slow. I’m hoping to have a five song demo ready in the next month or so.

And that’s about it.
