Up From Below
By Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros
Release date: 2009-07-14
Thursday, October 08, 2009 
There's a review of We Never Die over at Nick Sounds Off.

The album is up at itunes, where if anyone already has it I encourage you to post a review of your own. You could do the same thing with the Taxidermist. Unless you don't have anything good to say about either. In which case, why are you reading this?

See you on the road,
AA

I put the link up a little early for ordering the cd. There's a button for paypal ordering in the band bio (it's the grey album image). It's on tomthumbmusic.com too.  If you order now it will ship by August 3, and you'll get a coveted low-number copy. You'll then be able to trade with holders of other numbers in a hearty market of sexual favors, foodstuffs, anything of value. Certainly one of the first couple dozen will hold significant value, particularly in these tough economic times.

Enjoy,
AA

Because I Was in Love
By Sharon Van Etten
Release date: 2009-05-26

Category: Music
I put up two more new songs from the new Album. Wolf's Breath and Acid Rain are now streaming here with Cabin Building and Better Days. All the artwork is done for this first limited run, and hand-stamping is under way. Any day now I'll add a button here that you can use to secure one of these lovingly made, one-of-a-kind cds. At which point I will make another announcement that I have added said button. Do you miss the days yet when we weren't talking?

Enjoy! And watch out, Mainers. I'm coming to a couple towns near you at the end of month.

Ok, we haven't talked in a while, but I still think about you all the time. I made a new record, just for you. All this time I've been working away. It's called "We Never Die", and I'll be putting up a couple songs a week here until the CDs are made and ready to ship, August 3. Starting now. I hope you like them.

Thanks to Ryan's Smashing Life for putting the Taxidermist in his 20 New Albums You Need to Own in 2008 list! Follow the link for the rest of the list.

In more Taxidermist news, there are songs from the album in the new climbing movie The Sharp End, from Sender Films. These guys make some incredible movies, so introduce yourself to a whole new subculture and check it out.

And finally, a second edition of the Taxidermist is available with a new cover after selling out the last one. While one can only assume the future value of this in the hands of collectors will be slightly less than the first edition, you never know. There may be* a typo or additional bonus track making this even more valuable than the first edition.

*editor's note- There is no bonus track.

Hi all,
Have a listen to my Reckoner remix if you haven't yet, and take a second to push the vote button. It's based on some handclaps from an old song because all I do is listen to handclaps these days. All day. I'll see some of you in Maine and Boston in a few weeks.

I'm playing Brooklyn next week and Boston the week after. Tuesday Sept 16th I'm at the Public Assembly (formerly Galapagos) in Williamsburg. Haven't been back there in a while, so stop by. Then it's up to Somerville Sept 25 for an Obama benefit/voter registration drive, at which I will not only perform but will ceremonially register to vote, on stage in a shower of confetti. Free to see.

You & Me
By The Walkmen
Release date: 2008-08-19
Tuesday, June 24, 2008 
The Taxidermist is now available on Tom Thumb - The Taxidermist and Amazon mp3, and just for you loyal fans I've negotiated a deal with Steve Jobs to remove the DRM on the itunes files. So there are no limitations to how many burns or who you can share them with. If you buy them from itunes they're protection-free. And if you buy them from Amazon they're cheaper. There's also still a handful of the limited pressing if you want an actual cd.
Enjoy your summer!

To my New York friends,
