Hi Sinistreens, I've posted only a few times and it was always nice to hear back. For years I've thought I would leave sunny (I mean that as an insult) southern California for the crisper climes of the isles west of the north sea. This hasn't happened, but I do intend to lurk less in general. As a large baby step towards putting my own music out I spent a long time and a lot of care arranging and producing another artist, whom I think some of you might like. The record just got released in the UK this month on XL: "Ash Wednesday" by Elvis Perkins. His funny name is real; it is not rockabilly. Nor is it a Catholic album, but it is a lot about grief. You might have heard of it, but I thought you should know it was made by a Sinistrero. I hope everyone is enjoying the morning of summer, Ethan PS While I was mixing part of this record in LA, B&S were next door at the more plush digs of the Sound Factory recording the Life Pursuit. Despite the subject of the album I was working on, for some reason we didn't call it "the Afterlife Pursuit"... I saw Stevie and Sarah wandering back and forth to the coffee shop on the corner a bunch of times. Stuart I only saw in the parking lot, alone and sunning himself like Bathsheba, only with more a lot more clothes (nordic complexion). I think he was trying to absorb the fading echo of good vibrations. I'm at ethan@ethangold.com Pps I hope this isn't considered list abuse. Honey yell at me if it is. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
