Ian Cooke busted out several new songs for his performance at the Westword Music Showcase last year.  Hopefully these will surface on a new album sometime in 2011.

This is the only time I experienced the wonder of Moonspeed and their 10-11 person lineup.  I believe the band’s last performance was nearly a year ago, but have no idea the hiatus is permanent or just indefinite.

I ran across this little snippet at the end of a DAT tape yesterday–a handful of tunes performed by Andy Hersey in Boulder.  (This was probably just a line-level check in preparation to record Mike Doughty and Roger Clyne.)
