A BRAND NEW RECORDING IS ON THE JUKEBOX!

DOWNLOADABLE!

IT IS A NEW VERSION OF THE BT CLASSIC "I LEFT MY FLANNEL IN SEATTLE"

why am I yelling?

(cough)

Anyway, it features Jeb Lipson on guitar as well as me, Thom Bone, and the girl I put stuff into, Klark Kunt (who also plays fuzz bass when I am not putting stuff into her), doing a vocal duet.

It's a song we did to celebrate the relocation of Butt Trumpet to Seattle, WA this summer!

This song is part of a brand new 12+ (12 songs with some alternate stuff therefore the "+") recording that we just finished yesterday. The basic tracks were recorded at "The Shed" (James from HANG's studio) in Seattle on July 4, 2006 while we were on tour. Then, this month, I pulled the tracks out and took them to Big Scary Tree Studios here in Los Angeles (the same place we recorded our upcoming album which I plan to release once the Seattle Lineup is built to support it).

Jeb Lipson, owner of the studio, good friend to Thom, GREAT engineer and vintage gear collector played the guitars on this recording and it was then mixed by Jeb and Thom in his studio.

We plan to release this as soon as possible (read: as soon as we can find the right label for it) and will call it "The Big Scary Shed Session".

Personally speaking, this is an incredible recording overall and has some of the most amazing work yet captured on any BT recording so far. Jeb in particular turned in an incredible performance and the funny thing about it is that he did it stone cold. The experiment was for him to just listen to the basic tracks real quick and then play whatever he felt like. Almost NO time was given for him to think about the song or learn it. JUST play along... and what happened next was nothing short of incredible.

Using a plethora of vintage guitars running through an EIGHT watt amp with ABSOLUTELY NO effects pedals whatsoever save for a Crybaby on ONE guitar track only on one of the other songs, the tones that we put to tape are any band's wet dream.

The full story of all of this will be told in the liner notes of the CD later.

For now, ENJOY THE NEW SONG!

We'll probably post a few more in the coming days. We also did a bunch of new versions of "Flannel" written from the perspective of living IN Seattle rather than being on tour like the original... and may adopt one as the new "official" live version.

Oh, lastly, please, please comment on the song and on our profile. Now that we are coming out of hiatus, we can really use the chatter.

PLEASE.

Peace,

Thom Bone

Klark Kunt
