After all you can't be part of any band if you can't drink with them and thank god this guy can play drums as well as he drinks !!<br />Mister Hollis will be joining us in Austin as well as upcoming shows here in Seattle.<br />Just added are shows at the Tractor with Jon Langford and Sally Timms as well as a show at a favorite drinking hole,The Comet(Where Anie and I met,speaking of meeting "the right one" at bars) This show is sure to be full of laughs and thrills as it will also be featuring Steve Turner and His Bad Ideas and a new favorite 'The Withholders'<br />If my site does not have current listings , please visit our MYSPACE page.<br />Still waiting to hear back from our contacts in France to see if we'll be playing French dates after our dates in England.<br /><br />Morning Rotation:<br />Belle and Sebastian "The Life Pursuit by" My favorite so far.<br /><br />Sam Cooke "Night Beat" It doesn't get any better than Sam , even Rod Stewart(who I just ran into recently) said that there would not be a Rod Stewart without a Sam Cooke.<br /><br />Cat Power "The Greatest" (and it really is) Too bad about the tour cancellation , I hope my pop princess is ok.<br /><br />Al Green "Greatest Hits"<br /><br />Nao Wave (Brazilian post punk collection) Really great !!!!<br /><br />Kaleidoscope "Tangerine Dream" recommended by Michael at Wall Of Sound as the ultimate Psychedelic album and it just might be!<br /><br />MPMarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00674374028699621500noreply@blogger.com4
