I feel like it's my duty to pass along any article
that covers Phosphorescent, wolves, the beach, and 'a topless, crucified girl'
all in the first few sentences:


Thanks to Todd P for giving us all an excuse to 
head out there for a nice Sunday by the Sea.

Lots happening now, 
We're home from touring and 
At work on the new record

It's a 
Hot Time
Summer in the City,
Kind of vibe

More soon
!

Hey everybody,

Phosphorescent will be playing an hour long set tonight on Willie's Place - Sirius Radio Channel 64 - at 9pm EST.


It's Willie's 76th Birthday today and we were invited to come play some of the songs from "To Willie" and some Phosphorescent tunes as well.  


If you're not a satellite radio subscriber you can listen on the internet for free here:

sirius.com/3forfree


Hope you can join us in wishing Willie a big Happy Birthday!

It could happen 
that in a still-sunny
NYC late afternoon
you'll get off of a motorcycle 
in way downtown Manhattan
with only a mind to get your boots fixed
at a shop you know down there

Your phone will beep in your pocket 
to say that you've missed a call
and when you check it
there'll be a voicemail
from a number called 'Unknown'

As you walk down
the busy street
between those tall buildings
and among all that bustle
you'll listen to the message 
and this is what you'll hear:

"Hey Matthew, it's Willie.
Just calling to say Hi"

You'll freeze in your tracks
as this wise old Texas voice
comes through the line
and skips any explanation of 
how he got your number or
anything like that
but just goes right on to tell you
in his soft mischievous twang

How much he likes the album 
of his songs 
you recorded.

It could happen that your eyes 
will unexpectedly well up a little at this
as you stand there in the shadows
of those tall buildings;
as you watch all the people hustling;
as you watch the sunlight slanting 
through the cross streets.

It's could happen, then
that he'll say he's gonna be nearby 
in a couple of days to play a show
and hopes that y'all will get a chance 
to run into one another 

And it further could happen that 
you'll go to the show
and he will invite you onto his tourbus
just to meet and chat and tell a few jokes
and meet the family

And he'll invite all your bandmates onboard too
and you'll all pass around that famous vaporizer
and he will honestly be the sweetest 
most gracious host

Then you'll watch from the crowd
as these giants play an astonishingly great set;
Willie's moves on the guitar are like none other at this point
and Bobbie and Paul laying down such 
subtle perfection on piano and drums

And that voice which you've heard
since as long as you've been aware of music at all
will echo through the hall
as strong and heavy as human life itself

And, friends, it will be a true, true pleasure.

-----

It's near 3am here on a Sunday night
and I'm turning in now
but first I thought I'd like to tell you, friends
about how it could happen, 
this.

Category: Music
Phosphorescent's
New Album
"To Willie"
Is
Out Today

The first 5 tracks are now streaming on our player for you to hear.

You can pick up "To Willie" anywhere they sell music, but if you've got a local
independent record store to go to, go on an give them some support.

If you live in NYC I'd suggest goin to see the good folks at Other Music.
The first 25 copies sold there will include a free ticket
to Phosphorescent's "To Willie" Record Release Show
which takes place at The Bell House on Feb 28.

We're real proud of this album,
We hope you enjoy it.

Willie,
It's addressed to you,
And I guess it says
A lot of things in there.

But Mostly
What it says
Is

Thank You

It says,
'Salud'

See you soon,
Phos
Currently listening:

Right now I am, in fact, not roaming.
Not at all even.

Been here in NYC.

Home.

Working on two new Phosphorescent albums.
And one of em is about done.

And buddy we are stoked about it!


Now I know that this hotel-room recording of
"Right Now I Am A Roaming"
Has been up on this page for months but
A lotta folks have been askin where they can get it,
So I went ahead and made it downloadable from the player there.

It's yours for keeps.
If 'n you want it.

More Soon
Love
Phos
