i’ve been working as hard as a nut - and i’m talking hard nuts - on new stuff. meanwhile, the old stuff continues to do things. a review has been posted on an aussie arts website called the program which uses the phrase ‘inherent funkiness.’ awesome. community radio dudes - who are the coolest radio dudes of all - continue to play tracks from the ep, while ‘cup of wonder’ has been doing the rounds on triple j too. you can even request it on super request if you like to do that kind of thing.

the big news though is that soon the cd will be available in stores, like proper cds are, so thats a bit of a spin. so anyone who’s been freaked out by the whole ‘online order’ thing can soon go down to their local and only have to deal with intimidating indie record store staff instead of intimidating e-commerce technology.

i’m listening to deerhoof constantly at the moment, in preparation to see them in a couple of weeks. they are completely and utterly at the top of their game, whatever their game is. deerhoof are like the roger federer of whatever it is that they are actually doing. their last album ‘the runners four’ is like heaven on a cd-shaped stick. you should go and check out their website for a free quicktime music video and even a big scoop of mp3s (if you can find them).

i’ve rejigged the website a bit. if you come here often, have a look around and you’ll find things.
