WAYLON TRIB "Dreaming Waylon’s Dreams" CD NOW AVAILABLE FROM THE CONNEXTION

http://www.theconnextion.com/index.cfm?ArtistID=174&NoFrame=Yes

——————————————————————————————————

This CD with artwork created by hand on letterpress by Bruce Licher of Savage Republic and Scenic fame, is quite literally one of a kind. Only 1000 copies were created and it will remain that way. They are numbered individually. 500 copies are available. They include photographs and a chapbook detailing the recording.

http://www.theconnextion.com/index.cfm?ArtistID=174&NoFrame=Yes

The bizarre practice of re-makes is not limited to Hollywood behavior. It’s a growing sickness we may never completely understand. In order to survive stories must be retold. The whole story here with pic’s: http://www.brink.com/story/2275

——————————————————————————————————

Blogsville: "DIRTY WORK IN LEXINGTON" w/Alejandro Escovedo http://www.brink.com/travel/3454

——————————————————————————————————

Over the course of the last year, Alejandro Escovedo and I wrote an albums worth of material. A concept album emerged chronicling a life in music through love, loss, life, death and the promise of Rock and Roll deliverance. We recorded Al’s new opus in Lexington KY with Tony Visconti (T Rex, Bowie etc.) producing. The story with pic’s here: http://www.brink.com/travel/3454

——————————————————————————————————

Soap and Water Tour Program. $5.00 NOW AVAILABLE FROM THE CONNEXTION

——————————————————————————————————

Program includes all the lyrics/credits for Soap and Water (for the cheap ass bastards who downloaded the album for free). Also includes biographies of each band member and a guided tour by Chuck of the inspiration for each song. Hand made by R. Collision, this unique 18 page booklet was lovingly created with scissors, glue, a deep stash of ephemera and (we suspect) serious medication. We were unable to get photo of Chuck and the band posing in front of their private jet for the cover image but we think you’ll enjoy it either way. $5.00

CP and the MX on NPR’s Weekend Edition: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=16774684

——————————————————————————————————

From the NPR site:

Chuck Prophet and his band recently visited NPR’s Studio 4A to perform selections from Soap and Water. Between songs, he spoke with Liane Hansen about putting together his songs, as well as his musical upbringing. Prophet grew up in Orange County, Calif., where "if you shook a tree, five guitar players would fall out."

New DNA evidence introduced in West Memphis Three case

——————————————————————————————————

http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2007/oct/29/new-dna-evidence-could-overturn-convictions-west-m/

Imagine how delighted we were to learn that Mark Byers purchased a "Free the West Memphis Three" T Shirt for his Good Morning America appearance, where among other things, he compares himself to Benedict Arnold. Mark Byers found it in his heart to forgive, let’s pray the state of Arkansas sucks it up soon. The overwhelming scientific evidence clearly shows a grave miscarriage of justice that must be corrected. http://abcnews.go.com/TheLaw/story?id=3808760

Natalie Maines speaks out for the West Memphis Three

——————————————————————————————————

Once upon a time there was a social networking site called MySpace. Everyone was on it. Everyone loved it. It was the place to be. Then came the pedophiles. Then came the spam… Personally, I’m a Brink man (http://www.brink.com) But check it, MySpace lives! Read Natalie Maines blog on the WM3.

Anyone can hit the road. But what to do when the road hits back? Maybe it’s true, we did kind of peak somewhere back there in Indiana followed by a slow mud-slide into the abyss…

Hello folks,

Come join us at Amoeba Records for an in store set this Sunday Oct. 21st at 2 PM.

Be sure to stop by the Makeout Room later that night for an early show (we go on at 8 PM). At the very least, get there for the free taco’s courtesy of El Tonayense taco truck. Yes, you heard right. Free tacos for all my friends! I’m a carne asada man myself, but they do a killer “al pastor” which is sort of like a Mexican doner kebab; a slow cooked pork thinly sliced off the spit with a machete-like knife.

Hopefully, (((belle sound))) recording artist Sonny Smith will be playing as well at the Makeout Room. DJ Kelley Stoltz will be spinning records.

Time again to hit the road. This time it’s a deep trek into the motherland. And should the road hit back, this time we’re prepared. We’ve said our prayers every night to the gig god’s and we’ve stocked up on Vitamin C, 9 volt batteries and of course, lots of duct tape. (The good kind that’s doesn’t leave that sticky mess). Hope you see you out there in Gigsville.

How did this happen honey? How’d Bob Frank and John Murry end up on tour with us? John ... He LIVED on the couch. He wouldn’t go home. He wouldn’t bathe. It became a problem.
