News of the day
Ûž San Francisco musician/funny guy Matt Nathanson has a new song streaming over at his MySpace. Check out “Gone” in all its Goo-Goo-glory, a wrenching new song with a strong melody.
Matt writes some background on the song: “this song was tracked all at once, live… and this was the 3rd or 4th pass through. i vividly remember looking out into the tracking room while i was singing this, and seeing everyone completely in it. hunched over their instruments, eyes closed…entrenched in the words and the motion of the song. riding it like a wave. just absolutely KILLING it!… i hadn’t really experienced that kind of connection, that kind of communication, in the studio before… 6 people working like one. and the yearning and the desperation of the lyric totally came through them. through us…”
Ûž I am featured again on the newest Contrast Podcast #62: Seas, Oceans, and All Things Marine. My contribution was that fantastic song by Colorado artist Gregory Alan Isakov, “The Salt and The Sea.” It’s his love song to the Pacific Ocean, and mine.
Ûž The Format, who are one of the best bands I’ve seen live, have just announced a new headlining tour. It concludes in Colorado Sept 7th. Dates are on their MySpace, and you should absolutely go.
Name: Heather Browne
I probably have all those ‘unreleased’ songs already, but a boxed set would be pretty cool! Thank you for the info.

Hey There Mrs Lovely is fantastic. I was lucky enough to hear it last year when he brought back some of the older songs on the solo tour. Have you seen the live video of Thes Girls? The link is:

(sorry if that makes the page funny!)
As for ‘Keep Me in Your Thoughts’; I think that’s just a promo disc made to highlight his career so far, and is sent to radio stations or something. I’ve seen several of them for other artists recently.
