only just remembered to check in w/this. sounds good. what'd you mean march? can't figure out if you mean an arkestral troop outta the venue or a shuffly norteno number.

new album in feb. called "the best of the howling hex" but is indeed new material -- seems to be the stuff he was playing this year in Denver. sounds amazing.

aww. i don't have my copy of WS with me so i can't spin it, but i have affection for it.
i really like wilson semis, but i think this one is better. last track is 24 minutes! so yeah longer, dirgier.

i really loved earth junk, but WS kind of was just a blah retread imo

this is p cool, incidentally:http://www.howlinghex.com/diary/1625/rehearsals-are-ongoing
whoa, tyler you have charmed NMH & gained access to his stack of tapes. i think i speak on behalf of everyone outside of your state when i ask if you can quietly post this to your blog.

ha, i just posted that & was like don't antagonise 69 about hating on wilson semiconductors again, let it lie. it's cool. some of earth junk i still love, other parts of it just aren't super enjoyable listening for me, including some of the best stuff on there. it reminds me of murder mystery by the velvets a little, like that. all this makes me wanna listen to WS, though, so. btw 69 i am for real missin your radio show, i hope you are on air again sometime.

ha, okay. keep working toward that anyway. you're into it? i thought it was interesting the thing neil said about not really caring about records so just sending stuff to DC & letting them decide what to do with it.

first jam on the record for those not sitting around in smoking jackets supping cognac & talking pedals with NMH every week:

awww u can antagonise me anytime. and thanks for the nice words about the show -- too busy with work stuff this week to do it today, and there's definitely been a lag in putting the links up on the archive page. did you see the link to the show ian and i did the other week when i was in NY? it was really fun!

aw no! i didn't, i am missing stuff, i'll go check it out. you guys are a dream team. the last thing i heard was you co-presenting with my buddy BN, i had no idea you guys knew one another, it was so lovely. on another note, i bumped this thread in yr direction a while ago: THE PIANO CHOIR
will keep lookin out anyway.
this new hex jam is good. not a zillion miles away from the last record.

should be noted that the final track is about 10 minutes long (with an unlisted bonus track tagged on there).
