Jesse Malin is very happy to announce that my new album “Love It To Life” is finished and will be released in stores on April 27, 2010 on Side One Dummy Records. It is produced by Ted Hutt (Lucero, The Gaslight Anthem, Flogging Molly), and YES it will available in VINYL, as well as CD and all the other digital stuff!!! The record was recorded with my new band, The St. Marks Social.
I’ve not yet seen the album listed on the usual online stores yet to preorder yet.
Article worth checking out

Glorious Noise hve an article about trying to support real record stores here. Although I do want to agree with the direction of the article, I am lossing faith in the bricks & mortar stores because they only seem to want to flog mass market and not cater or encourage more diverse tastes.
Having said that when I was in San Franscisco recently, I had a little bit of time spare and came across Rasputin Records. This is how record shops should be, rough around the edges – with that feeling you’d get that Nick Hornby captured in High Fidelity. Four stories of this within a block of Union Square!

Pre-Order Josh Rouse’s El Tourista and Get an Exclusive Digital Bonus Track Instantly at the Yep Roc Webshop.
Unexpected and utterly sublime, El Turista’s sultry song cycle shuffle seamlessly in tandem with Getz/Gilberto and Paul Simon’s Graceland, albums as boldly surprising in their eras as El Turista is in this one. The record marks a new direction for the critically acclaimed artist, while offering the musical sophistication and emotional depth Rouse’s devoted constituents have come to expect.
His new songs continue the consistently enthralling body of work highlighted by the modern-day landmark albums 1972 and Nashville. Throughout El Turista, simple, Spanish-influenced street rhythms unfurl into epic versions of Guaraldi-like jazz numbers, resulting in yet another career defining touchstone and a genre-blending album that is as sophisticated as it is infectious.
For one week only, Yep Roc/Bedroom Classics are offering fans a chance to stream the entire El Turista album for free. Click HERE to stream the latest release from Josh Rouse and to get a FREE download of “I Will Live On Islands,” starting today and ending 1/26.

O Reilly article with an interesting look at the future of music

O Reilly published an article with a view on the history and the future of music. The article suggests in some respects that we’re approaching the point of closing a cycle in the way we can appreciate music.
I have to say although the article raises some interesting points, I am not entirely sold on all the arguments. But make your own mind up – article here.
