On a last-minute whim, covered Bowie's "Absolute Beginners" solo on the radio this morning, and only realized just before I played it how suitable (?) it was for Valentine's Day. I think the song itself is really genuine and sweet, but as usual with DB there's a dash of salt in there, too. If the recording turns out well I'll post it. (JM)
Shearwater email update:
Just turned in a near-final draft of a new record to the label. Time for a beer. (JM)
Since Animal Joy was one of my favourite albums last year, I'll do the craving.
I shall join you.
I'm assuming it's the covers collection, not an album, based on his wording.
I totally forgot I have the blood red copy of Animal Joy until just now. I bought it on such a whim that it kinda flew past me that I got it at all.

but does it have animal blood in it? Oh right, were talking about something good and not a flaming lips album.
Have I told you guys how much I love these guys?
I recently got the Palo Santo reissue, Rook and the Golden Archipelago for $20 used. Hot damn that was a deal.
Post-beer, I also met Brian Eno. What a day. Sleeping in tomorrow. (JM)
