As you may or may not already know, in January of 2009, I am embarking on a two month tour with a friend, Al, of the project My Cell Phone Is Better Than Your Cell Phone (http://www. myspace. com/mycellphoneisbetter). This tour will span the entire length of the United States. We are travelling by Greyhound busline. It will begin January 8th in New York and end March 3rd in Michigan. I was going to wait until the entire schedule was completely done, but as people have been procrastinating, I figured now is as good a time as any. The majority of these shows are free, but as we do not have complete control over such things all of the time, specific shows are charged at the door, though they are very few. Regardless, any donations along the way are more than appreciated, as we are doing this completely independently and out of our pockets. We will be busking at various points on the tour, recording all over the place, and have many things for purchase, to help us eat along the way.
You can read much more detailed information, including that of merchandise and many other things, in this Blog.
Please check there, to see if we are coming to a city/state/theatre near you.
I apologise if you already full well know about this tour, or if you aren’t in the United States, as this is a mass comment. Come out to a show, have fun, mope around, get intoxicated and take off your clothes while running into a snow drift. Whatever floats your Winnebago. If you can’t come out to a show, make sure every person you know comes to a show. We might forgive you then. If not, expect a three AM house visit. Thank you.
Jake here from Young and Divine! Just wanted to inform you that I'll be playing a special show @ The Granada Theater in Lawrence, Kansas on December 18th with A Bird A Sparrow, Lloyd Likes Mike and The Hit! I hope you can make it!

CIAN NUGENT 'Childhood, Christian Lies & Slaughter' CD Cian Nugent is a 19 year old guitar player from Dublin who combines squicky pre-war blues, Appalachian string band music, and the Takoma school into a deeply personal style. This cd documents a great live set, produced by Jozef Van Wissem.
5NAKEFORK RULES! I'm gonna post some info about the releases I just put out. If you don't like the 'spam', delete it. ;o)
So, SRA is now taking preorders on two new releases that should be coming out during the first week of August... I proudly present:
DANIEL CLOUGH - A TRIP TO THE MOUNTAIN SHARK (SRA004)
Abrasive, strange, dynamic grey noise with what sounds like subtle field recordings stumbling their way through, somehow creating the illusion of melody. Created using a casio, a mic, and a load of tapes and a tape deck + the good ol' Reverb & Delay. Sample up here: http://www. naszczepanik. com/sra/A_Trip_To_The_Mountain_Shark. html (One of the quieter tracks on the record.) Limited to 50 copies.
MACHINEFABRIEK - VLOED (SRA011)
Can't even begin to emphasize how happy I am to be able to work with Rutger aka Machinefabriek. Quite a talented guy, with releases on labels as diverse as Lampse., Digitalis, and Kning Disk, this album is a compilation of 3 live sets (the shortest running in at 16 minutes long). Take a listen to the sample available here: http://www. naszczepanik. com/sra/Vloed. html Limited to 180 copies.
Both releases are professionally printed CD-Rs and insert / tray card, and packaged in a shrink-wrapped jewel case. Prices are $8.50 each + shipping. There's now an online store using paypal buttons, so just head to the site if you're interested in ordering:
