so I’m in full hibernation mode right now. making some cassettes of albums I really like from my itunes, and then deleting the rest, so I can start off freshhhh. call it a new years revolution if you will.
mostly though, I am recording and working on all this new Moon King stuff… there’s a lot of really fizzy 12-string guitar, a lot of MIDI harps, and a LOT of chorus effect. I’ll play some for you soon.
I was in NYC this week for our show at Big Snow, had a total blast, nice to see friends and it was weird revving up from the aforementioned slowed-down heart rate into NYC time (which is 1000-times faster than normal life)…
so I’ve put up all of Moon King’s dates from 2011 here, if you’re someone like me who loves looking at band’s first shows.
alsoooooo got some more new trax up on the playlist, I’m experimenting with just putting “stuff I’m listening to” rather than just my friend’s bands … [update: that is not gonna work... tons of copyright claim emails, I guess Madonna and Girl's Generation do not appreciate the luv]
< ------- this is a cool poster by Airick Woodhead
the first track on the playlist is by PHEDRE, the superband with Dan and April from Hooded Fang and my brother Airick (Doldrums/Archaeopteryxxx/Dick Officer)… they are making their live debut at this amazing show happening Feb 24 in Toronto at the Great Hall. me and Maddy are playin too, gonna be a big fam jam for sure. apparently Phedre will appear instantly onstage in a pillar of golden light, that’s what I heard anyway. they are basically genies.
oh and Pitchfork and Gorilla vs Bear really like the Phedre song + video (by Jesse Ewles) which is awesome, maybe now they will write about our real bands haha
