We got podcasted on Insomnia Radio #45 again, I'm listening to it right now. I always enjoy the company we keep when Jason includes us in his podcasts, it's quite flattering. Really liked the Fredalba lead-off track.

Jason, if you're getting this: yes, we are compiling material for the new record so we'll get you something as soon as it's ready.

The Brunswick. I spent a few nights there back in the day. We'll be there on Oct 22/2005 opening for Osterberg, we go on before them, which means we get to play our set before they destroy the place (which they've been known to do).

This page explains why Harvey Danger is releasing their new album Little by Little in it's entirety, for free, over the web. And this is the page you can download it from (which I'm doing right now).

Their reasons seem to echo the emerging sentiment from the indie fringes of the music scene:

we have decided to embrace the indisputable fact of music in the 21st century, put our money where our mouth is...

They see it, we see it. The RIAA doesn't. This is becoming a bigger deal now than it was in the past. It used to be about simply watching dinosaurs sinking into the tarpits with amusement, chuckling as they launched a flurry of lawsuits at the manufacturers and distributors of tar. But since the stakes have been ratcheted up by the RIAA takedowns of bitorrent sites this is becoming a bona fide struggle.

Who will the RIAA sue when all the artists start distributing directly over the web?

We're playing at the Drake Hotel, Triple-X Thursdays (Get your mind out of the gutter, Triple-X is a DJ) along with our faves, Kelly and the Kelly Girls.

The Drake Hotel is 1150 Queen St W, TORONTO, we're on 11pm, Kelly Girls at midnite. $5 cover.

We're happy to announce that we've been added to NXNE, we'll be taking the stage at The Black Bull on Queen St., Thursday June 9th at 11:00pm.

The show should be podcast, watch this space for more details.

Pick U Up was podcasted in episode 15 of the all creative commons Staccato Music. A mellower sounding set of songs but a lot of good stuff in there.

Listening to Danny The K's I"ve Stopped Making Sense podcast on Old Wave Radio which is supposed to be the best sounds of the 70's and 80's but yet, our very own Stop Draggin' Us Nowhere is the leadoff track.

I guess that means we sound "post-punk" (Danny thinks we sound like the Jam!) but hey, we're not complaining. Thanks Danny!

I can only say...

WOW

I'm halfway through listening to the podcast and I've been just blown away by almost every track, a lot of these bands have really impressed me. I'm honoured to have tPH in the set, thanks for the kind words.

Thanks to Ross Rader for using Song About a Girl on today's Random Bytes show. Apparently Global TV is at Casa Disco as he does the show, doing a piece on the entire podcasting phenomenon.
