Thanks to technology, quite a few videos have popped up on YouTube from this tour where the audio/video is better than what's been posted in the past.  I've posted a few directly on CB's MySpace page (Wayward and Down, The Corner and Tame) but you can also go to YouTube, search Cory Branan and then sort by 'Newest,' though I tried to that that for you here:

Wayward and Down with Good Old War at the Knitting Factory in LA

The Corner at Musica in Akron

Cory - Ardent Presents

hey folks,
  (this is cory by the way) brian mann, manager extraordinaire, is always saying i should get on this blog thing and say some stuff.  while i'm sure this isn't what he had in mind, here goes:

    i can't sleep for shit lately on account of being amp'd on this new record i'm in the middle of making, so a few nights ago i reverted to a game i used to play to occupy my hyper-puppy nightbrains.  Here's a couple of em.  if anyone figures out what they are feel free to send in some of your own.  if no one knows by say, monday, i'll post the answers. 
  (O, here's a couple hints: for 1. possum, and 2. satanic intersection)

1. Joust becloud sky ax of wind of flower
    Joust becloud sky stoke herd nape stoneware
    Joust becloud sky rain heard thunder bison tape-delay
    See things sky tilt scare

2. Skin doubt tulip crawl-goats
    Felt doubt harmonies
    Skin brown tulip raw-rose
    Felt doubt harmonies
    Afterwards, a dove, half-murky
    Safe porn bald nephew pleats

all the best,
cory
