The new Littlefoot album, "If You Give a Grouch a Guitar," is finished.  It weighs in at 11 songs, with over 37 minutes of music.  It's a heavyweight.  Now, if you're thinking, "Holy crap.  He said it was almost done a long time ago, he must have been working on it really hard," then frankly, you're wrong.  I went a long time without touching this thing, but thankfully, Rich of Beware! and The Boston Celtics scheduled a triple CD release show, forcing me to finish this thing up and put it out.  So, the actual release is still a ways off (Friday December 4th), but the important thing is that it exists.  I think perhaps the most important thing to know is this: I was not striving for perfection with this album.  I would love to claim that I left all of the minor errors and inconsistencies because of an artistic vision.  And this is partially true, but in reality, with each song I didn't do more than a few takes because that's really fucking tedious.  OHSHITCROSBYJUSTGOTAHATTRICK!
And everybody knows that Littlefoot is all about fun.  So, in conclusion, I believe that this album has a nice, live feeling to it while still maintaining a much higher quality than any of my crappy old recordings. 

On another note, there are some awesome shows going on this weekend at Valentine's.  On Saturday Beware! is playing with Sgt. Dunbar and the Hobo Banned and Sea of Trees at Valentines.  On Friday, Wearejeneric will be playing a show, and I've also got a handy flier here for another show at Valentine's:



That show's got my friends in El Duke, Sam Coffey and the Iron Lungs (all the way from Ontario), Que Caro (Caroline Corrigan), and more.

Recap: busy weekend, cd done, out in December, Sidney Crosby plays hockey real good.
