D-Dawg suggests we run a Vinyl pressing of KC Gold.

I'm all for it, but I'm still a little contrarian...about many things I guess, but I've never really understood the Vinyl fascination

Now before I get email about it, you are not allowed to email me about 'How Awesome Vinyl Is' unless you have:

1. Worked with Magnetic, Analogue Tape, in a multi-track recording environment (Vinyl came from Master Tapes back in the day, 'member)

2. Then moved over to digital.

3. Remembered that I am not Disrespecting Vinyl. We're up for doing it, I am just conjecturing. 

There IS a difference in sound quality, but it's a bit like vegemite.

Grow up with it, MMM Good.Otherwise...

As a band, we have worked on 2 track Nagra, 8 Track Obscura, 1 Inch and 2 inch Spacejunk, some of which is still in complete production mode today and cranking out Big Name Stuff.

But...if you haven't seen something like this: 

 then you might not truly get OMG how much easier Digital Land is.

Now Imma Say Stuff What Might Get Me In Trouble.

Analogue was superior to digital in capture bandwidth....up until a little while ago.

Solid State Drives and Massive Bandwidth means some of the new stuff is pretty much a generation beyond analogue.

At the same time, they talk about the ability of tape to 'glue' a song together.

'Nuff said. If we get enough folks who want it on Vinyl, I say let's do it, I'll be curious to hear how it comes out.

Busy weekend coming.

Saturday at Katoomba, Sunday 2 shows - the Marrickville Festival & then Ruby L'otel, and I think Jo may be with us!

Howdy Folks.

I'm sprucing up the ol' site, yeah I know, how hard core is that eh? 

Page speed 90% on test, video module rebuilt, google calendar integration still flakey.

Mr Wizard has been complaining about page load times on the Gig Guide and Monte has been at me to optimise my CSS and Minify my...wtf does that even mean. No, don't tell me, please let it remain a mystery. No, seriously.

Professional web people have test sites. I just load crap and see what happens. Whoopee!

If anything stops working, the entire site disappears or everything changes, it's perfectly...AAAAAAAH

Howdy Folks.

Lots happening

Three Stormcellar albums getting airplay across the US, Canada and Oz contemporaneously.

I was gonna say 'simultaneously' but realised that would be 'literally' incorrect, literally.

'Kansas City Gold' enters top 10 in Aus, gets picked up on almost 100 stations in the US, 'Everywhere Feels Like Home' & 'Curious Assembly' picking up airplay in the US on Triple A radio

Congrats to the great bands and DJ's creating a scene on the Australian Blues & Roots Charts . We're in the company of the masters. All hail the Backsliders. Without hearing Jim Conway and the Backsliders support Leo Kottke, I wouldn't be writing this...they're still at it and now we are too LOL.

Meanwhile, the other part of the midwest Triptych 'Everywhere Feels Like Home' is getting a warm welcome on AAA radio across the US. 

Woot!

Cheers To Tom at WBSD, Ray at the Blues Shack on RPPFM and CDR at Mystery Train

Tom did a great interview, you can hear it here: (as soon as I put it up gimme a minute fer chrissake)

Ray talked to Millage and CDR talked to me!

US 2017?

Just got our first offer for a festival in the US in 2017. Oh lord.

Psst - Wanna Start Mixing?

AJ wants to start, and so do we, but we gotta restock the piggy bank. Go buy an album.

Bringing in the new songs

Between KC Gold + SC9, we have an albums worth of stuff to bring in. Oh crap.

Fixing Da Wesbite...wbsite...sbestie. 

Tech Ninja's have been rallied to do more stuff.

Expect some small disasters. Don't like load times? Well, NINJA! YAAA! 

404?

NINJA!

(I disappear in puff of smoke.)

I filmed when I could, in between other jobs :-)
