Crickets abound, dust gathers, bones laze.

Can’t seem to pull things together, the album needs a few more parts, but again the lyrics are all that remain to be finished. Sorry for the delays, I’ll just say it will be done when it is done.

Still, I am not tired of the tunes. I’ve heard them a million times and they still sound fresh to me. If you see me out, I’ll play you some stuff!

Other junk:

Harvey of Gentlemen Losers just finished a new solo album. Lots of good geetar work from Joe. I’m gonna help him with a website and other promo junk in the next few weeks.

Check out ‘Lovie’snew cd. I met their keyboardist, CJ a couple of weeks ago – what a cool, positive and outgoing person. I really like their 30-something band philosophy.

Many of the shows at Dada have been really packed and rockin’, most notibly Dirty Sweet. I normally don’t enjoy this kind of music, but it was exciting to see such a road-hard, confident, tight band play to adoring fans.

The Fever discussion continues between former bandmates.

Some interesting tibits…

Jim Holbrook, former bad ass bassist for Fever in the Funkhouse left an extremely honest and incisive comment on a post from July of ’06 – scroll to the bottom…

Why has he (Nick Briscoe) not been signed or picked up? Simple, when you are in a band that has one of the largest record deals in the 1990’s offered to you (an unprecedented 8 album deal!), yet you are tired of playing the music (like Nick was) and you want total control over all aspects of music, and you consequently turn down the deal of the century, the record industy tends to blackball you. Period.

Thanks for the honesty Jim!

Also – I finally got a copy of The Slack’s new cd at their show last Wednesday at Gezelig. The band really rocked out forall of the Dallas music superstars – They even played XTC’s ‘Generals & Majors’. You can tell they put a lot of time into the cd, entitled “Wishful Sinking”. Check it out here. Kudos to Chris, Eric and the rest of the boys!

I took another break and hung out in NOLA this past weekend. Our little posse consumed many calories in the form of local beer and incredible food. Even items I tend to dislike, like oysters and grits, tasted amazing. Next time yer there, check out Mothers for breakfast, Nirvana for lunch (Best Indian food I’ve ever had) and Jacques-Imo’S Cafe for dinner.

We also hung out at my favorite club, d.b.a. and saw the amazing Leroy Jones. The musicians are just too good, too real, too honest. Wonderful stuff.

In other news, I’m getting some extra tracking done for the new cd. I’m calling the cd ‘Isolated Twins’ and would love any artists out there to contact me about doing some cover artwork relating to this title/theme.
