It's called "The Day Before Yesterday" put out by American Primitive Recordings ("Just Another Record Label from the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Metroplex"). On the CD are songs that "preserve old songs and styles through their reintroduction by this era's musicians". The Knockdown Society does a song called "Christian Life" with Jim on vocals and guitar, Stu on bass, Greg from Hobex on guitar and vocals, Cody and Luther from Gutbucket on drums and slide guitar, respectively, and Greg Bell of the Chicken Wire Gang on piano...Also, there's a recording by LUD who played at the recent Stacy Guess benefit concert (more below). One of the coolest things about this CD, other than the wealth of CH talent it presents, is the packaging. The CD comes in a cardboard box (you know, the size od the CD) with a folded up piece of writing paper (you know, the kind you did your handwriting lessons on in first grade?) as the liner notes. Each song has explicit details of how, when, and where the song was recorded (For example, "Joe Henry" was recorded by 825 "during a light rain on an afternoon in mid-May of 1998 at Yellow recordings on Rosemary Street in the West End of Chapel Hill, NC") and in the space between the spine of the case and where the lid ends is a few pieces of genuine uhm....something (haven't been able to put my finger on the plant genus) ;) But it ROCKS. Anyway, pick this thing up at this website: http://members.aol.com/ludkmr/ Okay, uhm....There were two benefit shows out here for the Stacy Guess memorial Fund. I missed both, of course :( my friends went to the one at the Cat's Cradle saturday and report back that it was AWESOME. The Sex Police played (one of stacy's old bands) as well as LUD, Hobex, and a bunch of other bands i forget. i'll post some more snippets about it later when the papers come out. The Stacy Guess Legacy album is on backorder everywhere, and I know why. they made like 20 pressings, and they're all on sale here in CH. The CD is just great. anything where abunch of great musicians come together to pay homage to a friend is great. it's worth it just for the new (old) SNZ song called "The Puffer" (a TRAIN, dudes). Plus, there's some of Stacy's artwork, and nice stuff about him from all his friends. Oh, and Je's real first name is WIlliam. So get this album. here's a link (thanks to the two of you who bought it already the shrub thanks u!!) http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000I8J0/theshrubberyezin Okay, well...uhm, I'm going to see a jazz band called The Countdown Quartet on Friday (oh yeah, opening for Andrew Bird...) which has Je on trumpet and Stu on bass. Apparently they're a mainstay around Chapel Hill, surely a side project to keep the guys busy in the off-season. DO a search for them on AltaVista, and you'll find a bunch of things from The Spectator (local magazine). One last thing...the guys did horns on the new Ben Folds Five albu, (The Unauthorized Biography os Reinhold Messner, April 27) but don't buy it expecting a) zipperesque horns or b) the same old BFF stuff. It's a really...uhmmm....."big" album. the horns are basically part of an orchestra made up of local musicians. it rocks my socks off, tho. Okay that's all then. i wish more people would post....
