Used to bend spoons, now I only bend notes.

Hi,

Chuck here. Today is the m’official release date of my new record Temple Beautiful. Turns out Van Halen’s release date is today too. Still fighting it out on the charts with Diamond Dave after all these years. That’s me, kids! Okay, I kid.

Now I know I’ve been talking about the new record here a lot. I promise to calm down soon. On to the next disaster!

HEY, THE TEMPLE BEAUTIFUL SAN FRANCISCO BUS TOUR IS TONIGHT. I HOPE I GET A TICKET.

Meanwhile for those of you working on the clock, we offer quality time killing cubicle content. I’m editing Magnet Magazine all week. As far as jobs go there are worse ones.

You can check in here all week: http://www.magnetmagazine.com/

I’ll be wrestling with the written word covering all kind of San Francentric subjects from Flipper, to Beth Lissick, klipschutz, Roy Loney, Jack’s Records, Songwriting tips, Sean Wilsey, SFO Airport diaries… and more stuff I can’t think of right now.

And there’s also a Magnet Q&A: http://www.magnetmagazine.com/2012/02/06/qa-with-chuck-prophet/

“Like I tell people, I’ve been duct taped back together so many times I don’t even know what I’m a part of.”

Go easy babies,
