They had their keyboardist back
Rick Steff? I so heart him. Totally sweet guy, in addition to being a kickass keyboardist (not too shabby on the accordion, either).
It's been eight months or so since I saw them live, waaaay too long. ::glares in direction of Memphis:: It was Roy's birthday and they covered "Jump" by Van Halen. High-larious.
Yeah, Rick. He's got a faux-hawk right now, which is hilarious.
Ben apologized for the solo tour, apologized for getting drunk, apologized for not knowing "Anjalee", apologized more for getting drunk - he was rather entertaining.
Epicenter The Business of Tech TuneCore, Amazon Set to Unveil On-Demand CD Sales
TuneCore is poised to partner with Amazon’s on-demand CD-printing-and-distribution service, Wired.com has learned. It’s a deal that could put powerful new physical publishing options in the hands of musicians, even as the world goes increasingly digital.
The service is expected to be announced Thursday, linking Amazon with TuneCore, a novel digital distribution startup that’s made waves signing the likes of Trent Reznor, Keith Richards and other stars seeking a way out of the label system, as well as slews of garage bands and hopefuls on their way up.
I still prefer downloads (assuming they're at 256 kbps or better).
Jay Bennett formerly of Wilco and Titanic Love Affair has died.
I know!
I used to go see him in TLA and earlier bands playing around teeny tiny clubs in Champaign. He was two years younger than I am - exactly (his birthday is my birthday - apparently). It's both sad and weird.
