i have received the actual cover in its finished state and it looks absolutely stunning- the printer did a fantastic job (although he was unable to give me an upper lip!) as did stephen o’ malley with his re arrangement of the layout and beautiful new take on the back cover. anyway, as i mentioned it is a double record and it has a bonus track "smiling serene" and also colored vinyl will be available. i don’t know about you, but i intend to hold that colored plastic up to the sun and just stare through it for hours while i spin the record on my pinky finger. these are limited edition pressings, so act quickly if you want one!! also to report, we just spent the weekend (from friday noon till 7 a.m monday morning) in the studio (avast) with the exceptional mell dettmer at the helm, mixing some songs that eric recorded at his house and mine! eric mixed the last song starting at 3 in the morning-yikes!! we had a good time, and these songs will be available when you see us live-which brings me to the next batch of news....europe dates are still being worked out and there is more then just talk of a west coast jaunt with our friends in EARTH in june-cant wait!!! ok,well,see you soon....j.s p.s can someone please tell me what i do wrong, in that i can never get my links to be the kind you can just click on!!!
