Back in action

hi, i'm back.

it has come to my attention that there are people who read this, so to they, the gentle bodhisattvas of diy-indie rock, i humbly apologise for my extended absence. i have been working too hard. if you want to know what i've been working on you can check it out here, and buy it here.

i know, i know. it's trés gauche for me to promote my own machinations on a blog purported to celebrate the music of others. i clearly am a selfish cad. buy my fucking record though, please.

***

i have really been dumping a lot of hours into that ep, but i've also been buying stuff in massive shit-piles, so as i work it deeper into my head, i'll regurgitate here. soon. really, i promise. first up will likely be the 'gris' ep from geneviéve castrée's 'woelv'  persona. more soon.

plug, yo

so as you may be aware, i  also make music. and if you're reading this, this may not be news, but you never know, maybe you aren't on myspace, and have come here inadvertently and said, "oh, such prose! how delightful--and what's this? a record by the webmaster? i simply must check it out (and acquire it)!"

you might say that. 

YOU PROBABLY WON'T...

but just in case:

the black lines have released their (or "my") second album.

it is called "your blood trail", after the chorus in one of the songs.

it is very minimal, and slightly folkier than my usual fare. i like it though.

and it's free.

i'm not going to drone on about it, but please do check it out. if you like it, feel free to send me flowery praise.
