RADIOSCILENCE BROKEN

back to the world after two weeks of kicking back ,what have i learned?
Well,Obama needs to pull his boots up or the 'maverick' is going to wipe the floor with him,and that is something that i just don't want to consider.
RSAG has just released his second album,and he plays a special launch gig tonight.mighty fine is the album too and i was lucky enough to sit in on the mixing sessions so i should know!
Writing for the next release is going swimmingly,some demos will be along soon.
a new guitar can banish the blues like nothing else.
Monty sure knows how to party.
Ralph sure knows how to leave.
Billy sure loves his champagne.
Swimming pools are the way to go.

enjoy this old tune

The Heart's A fatal Flaw(original demo)

sometimes,in the wee small hours,
when the room is spinning due to the empty bottle of bombay sapphire on the floor
i come to the conclusion that this is my favourite thing that we have done so far.

so since it's not on the album we might as well share it here.

Snakes And Ladders And The Kidnapped Son(album version)

Taken from The Dynamics Of Alcatraz.
mastered by some guy who masters a lot of big records.
for a lot of money.
our tribute to 'remain in light' in a real fucked up way.

1yeartothepicnic

We took a little trip to the Electric Picnic last Saturday.While The Big Snare took it pretty easy on the indulging front and Monty pulled a Monty i proceeded to get slowly,but very surely,wrecked.'Twas that kind of day.
All i can say is Wilco did not let anyone down with the kind of performance that makes standing in a field in Laois seem not that bad.
there was an awful lot of shit on offer considering people had paid €250 for tickets but thats for another day.
Anyway,we decided you will see us playing there next year and we will keep you updated on all the trials and tribulations and hoops we go through to get on the bill.
enjoy the Wilco video,work on the new album now begins in earnest this wet and windy September morning.
and ,oh yeah,for the attention of David Kitt-go back to the songs man.........because an electro,krautrock'rock your body'kinda guy,you really are not.sorry.
