I feel bad that no one got to hear the live set on the radio Friday,
so here’s a free download of the set (as practiced the night before). 
Recorded on a Zoom H2 digital recorder and then bumped up in Adobe
Audition.  Weird phasing in places caused by my walking in front of the
mic.  The “shush” you hear occasionally is me walking around in my
slippers.

The Pool Across the Street

Tickle

Lazlo, Buddy

Looking back, after a really jacked-up year, we actually got a lot accomplished on the recording front.  Maybe this year we'll play some shows for you to see:

Our newest album Nutate:
Download = Circle Into Square
Japanese CD (!!!!) = Starboze
Remixes = our site

Vids from Nutate (so far):
Don't Go Stop
Resh Day Lo (from the wonderful Sharon Wasden)

Holland Buffalo (a project with our pal feedle):
Listen
Buy
Watch the video for"Optimistic"

We recorded "Christmas Time is Here" for the Wayside Waifs Charity CD.  Go buy it tohelp out a wonderful cause.

We recorded with our pal Alantl Molina, rethinking his song Denver (see our songs to listen to it).

Hiram played sax on the original version of cars & trains "Sometimes Falter" and we did a cover of the song for his Rusty String Deluxe album.

We sang and played on our friends'Wow & Flutter's album "Golden Touch".  And then Hiram blew Cord's amp at their CD release show.

We recorded a version of The Swirlies "Vigilant Always" that will be released soon by Reverse Engine Records.

Hiram released an EP of seasonal tomfoolery under the moniker The Fosbury Flops.

Then there were shows.  And recording a lot of stuff that will make the light of day at some point ("Watching E.T.'s Mom in Other Movies" is one of those songs).  And I'm sure we're forgetting something....

2009: Right now, we're going to just play shows, but we're sure we'll release at least 6 EPs for download that we're not thinking about at the moment.

Happy holidays and have a wonderful new year.  Here's a video of our cat Mushi Mushi opening a gift.  Our other cat, The Big Delicious, hates cameras.  That oughta cheer you up.  Stay safe and remember we love you.

We recorded a version of "Christmas Time is Here" from A Charlie Brown Christmas for the Wayside Waifs Holiday CD.  22 songs from people all over the globe (including R. Stevie Moore doing "Joy to the World"!) and all of the money goes to Wayside Waifs, an independent, not-for-profit humane society and animal welfare organization.

You can hear one minute samples of the songs at the CD site.

Take care,

UPDATE: Our pal Sharon did an awesome video for the song "Resh Day Lo" as well! 

Also, we never use exclamation points in real life.

Hey, thanks to everyone for the nice comments about Mushi.  He's doing much better and is almost back to his face-eating self.

We've been super busy lately, so here's a little bit of what's going on:

* Nutate, our album with DJ Sku, will be released soon.  We've got a video finished and we're just waiting to iron out some details.  More on this later.
* We've got some folks doing some remixes of songs from Nutate that will come out when it does.
* We've been recording a ton of songs with Josh and Adam that'll be released at some point, probably as a couple of different albums.
* We're working on a song with the STEALTH from Japan.
* We're working on a cover of The Swirlies song "Vigilant Always" for a comp that'll be finished in July.
* We've got a show with Leigh Marble and The Grokkers May 16 at Slabtown.  Then we'll be taking a bit of a break from playing out again.  Don't worry, we'll be back soon.
* We've got a new song up that's a collab with our pal Alantl, so you should check that out.

Anyway, I think that's it.  If you see us out and about, say hello.

Take care,
THG
