To quote Stephen Fry, “wow”. Even just for the tuning peg thing.

Holly’s second book is out, and again we are happy to provide a little Splashdown music to go along with it:

Map & Key gets its first cover version

For my Anarchy Club peeps

After a lengthy detour, I finally managed to wrangle new music into the Rock Band Network. Please enjoy.

FÜR IMMER VERLOREN in RBN

Back in the day

An old friend just sent this over. I must have been 17 or 18. It was the time I played guitar on the debut album “The Rope” by Black Tape For A Blue Girl. The best part was that I had no idea I had done so until I met up again with Sam Rosenthal about a dozen years later. I think he was kind of bent out of shape that I didn’t remember it (but when he played it for me, I recognized my style — I guess it must be true!). In my defense: those were hazy days, so to speak.

Splashdown boots

It has been brought to my attention that the only version of the Blueshift bootleg available on the net has been ripped at awful 128 Kbps audio quality. Considering how hard everyone involved worked to make the album sound good, I find this unacceptable. So if anyone is interested in higher fidelity, please contact me for information.

For those wondering: our contract with Capitol stipulated that Stars & Garters and Halfworld remained the property of the band. Blueshift, however, we don’t have the rights to, and the label won’t even sell us back the ownership (but fortunately, somebody leaked it to the world!). So if you want to buy the remastered editions of our earlier stuff on iTunes, we surely wouldn’t mind. But Blueshift now belongs to the Internet.

UPDATE: Jan, 15, 2012

Here’s Blueshift with better quality. But I’d ignore the Redshift since it’s still at 128, and the Asia At Odd Hours AllieCat mix — we didn’t make that. And the woofy live recording of Nomadic… sheesh…

In L.A. today, and I hung out with Melissa for the first time in eleven years.

I heard a preview of an upcoming song that was just beautiful. Onward she goes…

New song: “Skulls”

Anarchy Club has just released our new track, “Skulls”. It’s a sad, sad song. About love. Kind of.

Grab “Skulls” here

“Apotropaic”

Currently reading the Hitchens autobiography, and encountered the word that is the title of this post. Apparently, it’s an adjective which means “supposedly having the power to avert evil influences or bad luck”. Gotta find a way to use that in casual conversation this week!

In other news, the full Anarchy Club and Map & Key catalogs are now up on Spotify. The first two Splashdown releases (the only ones for which we own the rights) are up as well.
