anyone who’s been waiting for the iTunes link before making their purchase of “A Moose Supreme” by Evan & The Modern Human Show …

wait no longer, here it is:

A while back, a local organisation called “When You Awake” (named perhaps after the tune by The Band?) which is dedicated to the celebratory perpetuation of neo-retro faux-rural style and culture (though they don’t phrase it that way) took part in a George Harrison Tribute Concert at Spaceland, to raise money for a charity intending to get music lessons to needy kids.

I had the good fortune to be in one of the bands recruited to perform: the Amanda Jo Williams band. We played three songs, with special guests including a tap-dancer and a moog-ist. The house band was SICK good!! Andy Creighton and company. Solid work - we didn’t have a single rehearsal.

I had been hoping for videos of our set to turn up, and they have not, but When You Awake has posted a recording… for the full story and the complete show, dig their site.

Meanwhile, here’s our three tunes for your consideration:

Devil’s Radio (from George’s “Cloud 9″ album)
Sue Me, Sue You Blues (I know this one from Jesse Ed Davis’ “Ululu” record)
Beware Of Darkness (from “All Things Must Pass”)

Enjoy!

… oh yeah … here’s a picture:

Not so often I get to play with a really good band to a packed room of muy enthusiastic dancing fools. This was a highlight of my musical life, so I’m passing on to you THE ENTIRE SET, in no particular order. If the footage from Boyd’s camera, whenever it turns up, has better sound, I will post that as well (or instead or something). Z took these. Enjoy!

SEAMOO: A Moose, Remixed

I made this album during my first six months in Los Angeles, when I was afraid to leave the apartment. I had the multi-tracks from Evan’s album on my hard drive, so I devoted myself to building something new out of every song from “A Moose Supreme” … This is the result.

…Or you can go and look at the catalog page, which is green and includes an mp3, in case that helps your decision making process.

Here’s a compilation from YOGA GROOVE in North Hollywood, Friday 3-6-09:

…And a wonderful version of SPARK PLUG HOMINY from The Bandit Gallery in Echo Park, 2-28-09:

Here’s some visual excerpts (courtesy of John “The Eye” with the phatty camera skills) posted by Feather of Amanda’s show at The Airliner, 2-22-09. Feather is percussing, I am guitarring, Amanda strums and sings and stomps the kick drum. Killer cool. There are more of them here: http://www.youtube.com/user/sunbirdfeather

Sick And Dying:

I’m doing some experimentation, this year, with cosmic rhythms… By which I do not mean taiko drumming or the percussive works of Milford Graves, but rather the movements of the Earth as per the Sun. (We in the Snoose Junction collective are sun worshippers, as you may recall…)

So it worked out that I played my first show of the year on January 31, 2009 - right before Groundhog’s day, which puts us with in a stone’s throw of Imbolc, a so-called Celtic cross-quarter day which falls halfway between the winter solstice and the spring equinox… And if you know what those are, you’ll understand what that means… in terms of Where We Are.

We are also within a slightly longer stone’s throw of the lunar new year, aka Chinese New Year, which is to say: Happy Year Of The Ox!

So energies are high, and they are all around us. In my case, they are taking the form of an acoustic show at C&D’s Welcome Cafe in Redondo Beach. It’s low fidelity, but you’ll get the sense of it. You can hear it at this place:

…and here are pictures:

It is my intention to continue posting shows on archive.org … so if you’re into that, you can keep up with it. I will do my best to make them all different, and all worthwhile. In case you’re into that.

Thanks to those who were there and dug it. I dug it right back atcha. And here’s to many more.

love and good luck
