We finished printing the tracklisting for Slowest Runner’s Flophouse Session EP.  Check it out:

Next up, we’re going to glue the jackets and print the CDs.  The band selected these nice orange CDs, which we’ll print with the text, “The skies darken.  The sea swells.  And the good ship Tecora sleeps silent on the ocean floor.”

Our little robot guy is super-excited.

Yesterday was the first day of printing Slowest Runner’s Flophouse Session EP.  The session was recorded live by our friends over at Band in Boston Podcast.  Check out this video that we took of the recycled jackets drying at the Grinding Tapes House.

The cover art was illustrated by our good friend and super-great artist, William Collins.

Hey folks,

I just wanted to mention that I have a new EP coming out called tiny mtns.  I’ll be touring in Aug. in support of it, so if you’re on the East Coast be sure to check to see if I’ll be in your town.  It would be awesome to see you at a show.  Here’s a song off it called Thicket Holds a Ram.  I hope you like it.  If you do, you can pre-order the EP here

My iPhone is completely integrated into every bit of my life.  It gives me directions, controls my computer and my tv, tunes my guitar, and wakes me up.  So I just downloaded the app TweetMic, recorded a song I wrote tonight and tweeted it!  I’m excited about how easy it is to share music with friends all over the world within minutes.

The only downside I’ve found with TweeMic is that there is no way to save your recordings.  While you can listen all you want off of TweetMic’s site I wish that I could save it to my phone and put it on my computer.

Here’s what I posted.  What do you think?

Deastro is a great act that has apparently been around for a while but just came to my attention via the [adult swim]-sponsored Ghostly International mix cd, which is aptly titled Ghostly Swim. This is a great comp which includes a lot more great tracks worth touching on. Props to both Ghostly International and [adult swim].

Randolph Chabot Jr. is apparently a music whiz at this point. He claims to have written hundreds of songs by the age of 17, a mighty feat no doubt. But what’s more impressive is that the man already put out three albums on his own and got noticed through eMusic, where be probably uploaded his own music. He also has another project under the name Our Brother the Megazord.

I find it very hard not to like this guy, if you aren’t already convinced, check out his blog.

Here’s a song from his album, Keepers (originally self released on eMusic, and reissued in ‘08 by Ghostly International) :

Max Tundra is playing in Boston with the mighty Junior Boys on May 8th. I just realized that I’m going to be out of town that weekend (which means I’m going to miss Mastodon on May 7th as well, anybody want a ticket?).

But all that does not stop me from loving this new Max Tundra video I spied on Pitchfork a little while back. And I will get around to seeing him eventually, but for this one, point is to Jason who in all likelihood will be in attendance:

Talk about DYI. This guy has been getting great right ups on the old Pfork for years and he still finds time to run around with a camcorder and his ipod and tat himself with a keyboard on his leg in permanent marker. Props for the creativity bro (the song ain’t bad either).
