Dave and Misha are going to be on opposite ends of the planet for the next couple of weeks, but otherwise everything’s going well. If you’re seriously jonesing, there are a couple of new tracks on the Music page.

For what it’s worth, we wholeheartedly endorse Napster and salute anyone who makes copies of our CDs.

Ashland. Shrimp, Dixon, handwoven leis and young lovers torn apart by Adolf Hitler. We’re coming back very, very soon.

The big news for today is that it turns out we’re not going to be doing our KSPC blues show as originally planned, which is half-tragic (because we’ve already told a lot of people about it) and half-ecstatic (because we’ll be much better bluesmen when we actually do it in the fall). Otherwise, the amazing Darryl at Studio 9 (a real live studio with actual equipment and everything) just finished mixing a new version of “Annie Dan” that we’ll be putting online and sending off to college radio people upon request in the next couple of days. And we’re gearing up for our apparently secret thing.
