Robert:

Actually it snowed here today!

As soon as I get home (Saturday), i'm going to start working on a City On Film / Owen UK tour for July. If you book shows there or have some helpful info, please drop me a line! If you've already contacted me, thanks again... i'll get back to everyone next week.

The City On Film record is very close to completion. It will be 11 songs and some versions of them have been released before in much shoddier formats. Instead of releasing a compilation of all of the old out-of-print material, i'm re-doing it all and giving it the grand treatment. Full band, drums, lotsa guitars, strings, and i'm sure you saw this picture. The songs are: Anticlimactic, Blue Vegas, Portland Maine and the Pouring Rain, For Holly, I'd Rather Be Wine Drunk, Forgiveness, Trials, How a Helicopter Sounds, All the Wrong Notes, Lost My Lights, Number 11... I've also recorded a special secret exclusive bonus track that you'll learn about later. Phew. We've been busy.

The album will be called "In Formal Introduction" and even though The City On Film has been in existence for damn near 6 years, it will be the debut LP. It will be available on LP/CD on Grand Theft Autumn recordings in June. Since Todd is a record collector junkie, there will most certainly be some limited colored vinyl. A release date has not been set yet.

In other news, i'm really enjoying Of Montreal lately.

AND i'm playing a show in Dekalb, IL on March 3rd at The Rodeo, so hopefully you can make it out! It will be fun. And funky. No trombone, though.
