Between tours…
I’m currently home on a week-long break between legs of the AC Newman North American tours. The first, West coast, leg went exceptionally well. Everyone in the band is gracious and funny and supremely talented. I look forward to having a few less-than-9-hour drives on the East coast with them. I’m also looking forward to a devastating meal at Au Pied de Cochon in Montreal.
I had planned on recording a new Deep Snapper LP this weekend during the break, but Katey’s and my beloved dog, The Chicken, is battling late-stage lymphoma, and I decided to postpone the session in order to spend as much time with her as possible. (She’s the bundle of joy in the image next to this.) Katey has had this dog for, I dunno, 12 years, and she’s been my adopted buddy since 2003. She will be sorely missed when she finally passes on.
I just received a 9-pound box of LPs and CDs I had shipped from Aquarius Records in San Francisco that I’m going to sort through now. Some Randy Newman, Rusted Shut, Ashpool, new Lungfish side-projects, Nigerian psychedlia — I’m in for a busy night.
