Thanks so much to everyone for all the support recently. It’s good to see new and familiar faces at the shows, especially really cool people from faraway lands. We have been meeting so many amazing people; we’ve been moving at what seems like a break neck pace with performances and what not. It’s been mind boggling at times. What day is it? Things like Ron Schepper’s textura review and asking us to do a top ten keep us going when our feet hit the pavement and when the path gets steep.  Thanks to KZSU for adding the albums and for the review, possibly the first to mention pole dancing. Thanks to Hemlock for having us out again last month. The show at Amnesia was great and the sound artist Benjamin Tinker is putting together more experimental nights there every third Thursday of the month. Definitely recommended! It was a lot of fun.  Thanks to Stuart Maconie for playing us on freakzone on the BBC again a couple of weeks ago. Most people who know us know freakzone, but if you’ve never heard it you should check it out. It’s one of the most riveting and amazingly curated music shows. It’s not as long as it use to be so complain here. Same goes for Sue at Aural Fixation on WMBR in Boston, and Benjamin Walker on WFMU in NYC.  And to Hear and Now for continuing to play us on NPR!  Also thanks so much to Ed Pinsent for playing the new album on the Sound Projector Radio show. Again most who read this know Sound Projector, but if not definitely pick it up. Mimaroglu says “Clear and away the most consistently rewarding music magazine running …” It’s at Aquarius if you live in SF, and if not check out the SP website for more info.  We’re going to guest DJ and do a live set from 3 to 4 on KUSF in San Francisco on the 13th. Thanks to Stereo Steve,  for asking us and he will also be doing a set at CDN.  When we’ve been running around, we’ve been listening a lot to Urthona which is really amazing. Neil Mortimer is Urthona and did the music for the Avebury super 8 film by Ric Kemp we found awhile back. We’re really excited about our last show of the year in SF at Café Du Nord with Julianna Barwick and a 20+ piece interpretation of Terry Riley’s In C. Thanks to Bataille Music out of Montreal for giving us a write up in their blog. In short almost surrealist sentences that leave a lot up to imagination, they manage to create some of the most beautiful and almost emotional reviews. It's inspiring.And of course thanks to Terra at CDN who has been amazing! Hope everyone can make it out!
