4,500 miles at this point to be exact.  It's been glorious and I plan making a more extensive recap than simply naming a number once it's all said and done.

For now, though, please make sure you tell all your New York friends to come out to a very special show tomorrow night!

It's harvest season, autumn.  In North American English we refer to it as "fall", a word cutely referring to the action of leaves during the season.  Or perhaps it's a reference to the fall of the year itself.  Well, I tumble, I fall, I roll, I ramble:

Anna Morley composed a beautiful piece of poppy ambient-lounge and called it "Character". A collection of sounds made by vibraphone, synthy keyboards, violin, mellow 808ish drums, guitar, harmonica, indistinguishable vocals, ukulele and more weave these lush, yet jovial tunes together. Today, this 5 song EP is made available for the first time at the official CD Release. Released on Gazebo Music, it will soon be available on CDBaby and other various digital stores. Tonight, however, you should come out and get yourself one, as well as listen to it performed in entirety by a lovely slew of Barcelona artists: Anna Morley CD Release of "Character" La Cova De Les Cultures (c/ de l’angel, 12 .. L3 Fontana) Thursday Oct 22 @ 21:30 Anna Morley : Character - CD Release

If you were a sinking river of freedom songs unsung, and wished for the warmth of a wailing hawk above, would you for a moment change your path, for the constellations of stones thrown by passing strangers? This Friday, Sept 18, Moomaw will be playing a special-super-psychedelic-set full of loops and featuring the gorgeous accompaniment of Sexy Beer vibraphonista Anna Morley. The show will also feature the groovy loop-based-performance-poetry of Loopoesia. Not to be missed my friends! Friday Sept 18 @ 22:00 La Papa (Carrer Tapioles 12, .. Paral.lel, Poble Sec) Loopoesia Moomaw IMG_0417 IMG_0447 IMG_0448

The tourists have gone home, leaving the street-beer vendors confused and overly-persistent, businesses are re-opening, the heat is less bothersome and one could even sleep, if desired, but why would you want to? Come bask in this change of season by coming to a show featuring Moomaw and Fried Rabbits. The venerable Le Cool, a lovely online magazine that selects one or 2 events a day that you should attend in Barcelona, has a new Monday night party at Fantastico Club. Fried Rabbits and Moomaw will be playing intimate acoustic sets starting at 22:00, followed by Le Cool DJs playing some bits that you might enjoy as well. It is free so come and party!

Open fields make wonderful bed-fellows and the swallows will forever scribble jibberish in the sky. I would like to introduce you to my new country-western duet project featuring the lovely Miss Ciara Carruthers. Together we are Fried Rabbits, a sweet marriage of country and folk to bring you back to freedom and the farm. Please take some time to visit our new myspace page where we have several beautifully-rough-recorded original songs and a cover of a Lee Hazlewood tune: Fried Rabbits Tonight (Wed Sept 9) we will be playing some of said country songs at 7Sins near Universitat in Barcelona: Wed Sept 9 @ 22:15 7Sins (Muntaner 7) Fried Rabbits playing a country-western hoe-down like you've never seen! donations appreciated (but not expected)!

If you don't live in Barcelona, you probably don't know about Sexy Beer, as in, Sexy Beer, the band. If you've been to Barcelona and spent some time drinking in the streets, you may know about "sexy beer", as in the words the people who sell beer in the streets use to sell you beer (along with "cerveza beer", "sexy beer, my dear", and "esta muy fría"). It's quite Barcelona, and us here tend to love it. In naming the "skiffle" band formed with Ben Paddick (guitar), Anna Morley (vibraphone, violin, melodica, harmonica), and myself (uke, saw, voice), we turned to the purveyors of convenience who happily provide beer to the thirsty masses that inhabit the hot streets at all hours of the night. Sexy Beer, an improvisational band with a bit of a gypsy jazz folk feel now have a myspace here: www.myspace.com/sexybeermydear And some videos from a past performance:


Drink up and enjoy!

Howdy! Won’t you toss on your kickers and gallop down to Plaza Universitat to bless your ears in the lovely country music of Fried Rabbits (Moomaw country side-project featuring Ciara Carruthers). I reckon it’ll be a good old time!
