Friends from out of town who visit me here in Seattle have commented that we have a lot of Subways (as in the sandwich place), and fewer of the other types of fast food outlets that you see elsewhere in the US. Here’s another one “coming soon” by the ferry terminal that I saw the [...]
My rock band An Invitation to Love is playing on Monday the 29th at the Comet Tavern here in Seattle. You should go. After some thought we figured we should have a mailing list for that band so I can stop spamming the graze list.. you can sign up for that now at www.aninvitationtolove.com. That [...]
Quick reminder that tonight is the album release show.. Cafe Venus at 9pm sharp.
In other news, the Seattle Weekly had a great writeup for the album and the show.
Also, Give/Sell is going into rotation on KEXPÂ 90.3 FM in Seattle, which is exciting.. I hear that place is good. Call them up and request something!
And finally, [...]
Hi,
tonight I’ll be playing on Hollow Earth Radio on the Internet on the Leaky Pipes radio show, and then Friday the band is back together to play the album release for Give/Sell, at Cafe Venus/Mars Bar. I’ve explained that elsewhere, I think, but there it is again. Here’s an excellent poster from Jeffrey Henry:

You can buy Give/Sell at various digital locations starting today.. such as iTunes, Amazon, Rhapsody, eMusic. Of course you can also still get it for free at thegraze.net.

extremely not lame.
I’ve been having some ideas on what to do with Give/Sell, and one of them is to give it to people who sign or have ever signed my mailing list. That idea led to having to decide what to do with my mailing list.. and that led to me trying out a service called FanBridge.

I’ve uploaded some tracks to myspace… I also resequenced the album because it’s better this way:
Apartment
Bet
Bastards
Canyonland
Cheap Wine
Six Years
Picky
Those People
Tiger Nightmare
Price
Second Sight
If I sent you mp3s please consider reordering them as per the above and dropping “Sheep.” And then let’s never speak of this again.
So, five and a half years after finishing my first album and just in time for CDs to be obsolete, I finished a CD album called Give/Sell. It’s got 12 songs in about 34 minutes. Side A (1-6) is indie pop/folk and not a big departure from Iowa Anvil. Side B gets a bit more [...]
