I released a new album! It’s a cello tribute to the excellent Welsh band The Joy Formidable. You can listen/buy it at Bandcamp now, and it will be up on iTunes, etc. in a few days. Click through the image to listen.
For locals, I am excited to open for Garland of Hours (cellist Amy Domingues) tomorrow night at the Black Cat. See you there?
Happy Holidays-in-Cambodia from your pals Office of Future Plans.
Original AV Club posting (worth reading for background on their “Undercover” series)
This was one of the most incredible experiences. Thanks to everyone at The Onion/AV Club for asking us to play when we were in town earlier this month.
Great poster by Joe Newton of Wrong Dots for this Saturday’s show. We’re so excited to play Brooklyn, and to play with these two bands!

Seriously can’t wait to play this.
From @schuyler: A CS grenade, and two 12 ga shotgun shells purportedly used by the police to propel the beanbag bullets. #OccupyOakland
Meanwhile, police are reporting that they didn’t use any method like this at Occupy Oakland.
DONT STOP REBLOGGING, PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW
It a killer app. Well designed. I like it as a listening platform. But what I think is totally wrong: Spotify pays different monies to different labels. As everyone is under NDA it its impossible to find out what those deals are but the word on the street is that majors receive profits from Spotify’s advertising revenue and indies do not. The end result is that a major artist makes more per play than an indie artist. Spotify doesn’t talk about this but The Guardian sums it up well. That’s it. That’s my complaint: fairness.

Zoe Keating on Spotify, Apple and Independents (and lettuce) — My Music Thing Excellent article with well-articulated, compelling arguments. The bit at the end about the niche-artist economy is great, too. Very conflicted about whether to distribute my music to Spotify or not. |
