One of my favorite things about Eddie's posts are when they're about a band that's not only obscure (after all, the guy whose birthday it is who brought us all together is still far from a household word) but hardly known even amongst Fegs and very far from being commonly talked about on the list, yet the post has a subject line and phrasing that would lead someone new to the list to think that everyone here had quaffed this DERDANG DERDANG thing like it was pure New Pornographers crack and had been breathless with anticipation over this new release ever since. That's not a criticism at all. It just makes me smile. I'll check them out. later, Miles p.s.: I'll play too, with an only slightly less obscure band... y'all should know that the new Jason & the Scorchers album was officially released last Monday and it could just be the most glorious thing they've ever released. And given how highly I regard the FERVOR EP (1983), LOST AND FOUND (1985), and CLEAR IMPETUOUS MORNING (1996), that's *really* sayin' something. Also... Best. Live. Act.

They've never really gone out of business since the '93 reunion, but ever since drummer Perry Baggs quit (at the time, he said to pursue a solo career, but we the general public really didn't know at the time how advanced his diabetes was), there have been times where the future was in question. But they've done one-offs and mini-tours throughout the 2000s, so it never really ended, and now it's new-album new-tour full-on ON. >That would be worth looking into. > What's it called? HALCYON TIMES. There's no domestic distribution deal at the moment, so the best way to get the CD is straight from the band at http://www.jasonandthescorchers.com Supposedly it's going to be on iTunes and eMusic, but last time I looked, it wasn't at either place yet. later, Miles - -- over a year of feeling guilty about not blogging enough! http://readingpronunciation.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 Mar 2010 19:00:06 EST From: HwyCDRrev@aol.com Subject: RH was in Boston last week ?
