Yes, I know it’s been awhile. Time to get this train back on the tracks.
Here’s something to tide you over until I can get some newer material tracked out…

The release of Radio 1190’s third installment in their superior Local Shakedown CD series was ushered in this month with a hat-trick of record store release parties. While I was too gutless to brave the game-day Pearl Street crowd for the Bart’s performance, I did make it out to Twist and Shout and Wax Trax. In this first installment, Kissing Party soldier through busted amps and a rough vocal mix before finally landing in musical bliss half-way through their set. Hey, when do in-store shows ever come off perfectly??

A fitting end to a great ride…thanks to Nathan, Stephen and the rest of the crew for a great few years of music!
Never thought you’d be
where you are standing today
You had hoped for more
and you can see it on your face
Take a look around
and don’t feel you recognize this place
Never thought your life
was gonna turn out this way
Little squares of paper, folded over again
The greenest grass you’d ever see
The places that we thought we be
We’ll end where we began
It isn’t worth the time
for you to wish your life away
Cause who’s to say
it wouldn’t turn out the same
And to be honest I am thankful for the rain
Cause it made the man
who we see standing here today
Hearts of Palm (Nathan and Stephen)

The experimental jazz musings of Aenka were the perfect refuge against Sunday’s afternoon drizzle, and the weariness that we all succumb to on the final day of a festival…

I took a breather from taping at the UMS on Friday night, but thankfully John and Rose from KGNU held down the fort by running mics at the Hi-Dive. Airshow Mastering was also on-site and kind enough to pass on a board feed. Combing the two sources led to some quite listenable results…thanks to all involved that weekend!

Per Katherine’s request, here’s the Denver super-group Snake Rattle Rattle Snake opening for the Houses’ CD Release at the Meadowlark earlier this month. I was really on the fence regarding which audio source sounded better (audience only, or with the board mix), so I’ve posted both versions. You can sample both and then grab whichever you prefer.
