Yes, it has been far too long since the last update here. I’ve been busy maintaining the MySpace page, working on getting my new recording studio set up, and playing more than I had originally intended with my “side project,” VVLL. That’s been a real blast, and the grassroots buzz on that band has been growing, especially thanks to a #1 song of the year ranking (along with Grinderman!) on the trendy music/gossip blog idolator.com. Read that glowing review here.
I’ve sent homemade promo copies of the CD out to close friends and a couple label people I know, but I’m still trying to decide how to go about releasing the album. I’m leaning towards an online-only approach, making the whole thing available as a download with a link to Paypal for those who’d like to contribute. I never thought I’d hear myself say this, but the thought of manufacturing a bunch of CDs for such a vanity project just seems, I dunno, a little self-indulgent. I’m actually more interested in getting back to writing and recording some new material in 2008, and trying to maintain a band to play some shows. Please keep checking TSE on MySpace for new song postings and show dates.
Here’s to a fantastic 2008!
