WORD ON THE STREET (CLAYTON STREET):

Since I've already blabbed about this in a comments area, might as well make it "news"...

I've heard from a couple of reliable sources that Jack Logan's "Monday Night Recorders" project may have finally found a home for distribution. For those who are unfamiliar, Jack and several friends (including Barbara Cue's William Tonks, former Possibility Kevin Lane, and former Dashboard Savior Rob Veal amongst others) would get together a few Monday nights a month to write and record music - all over the course of last year. The result was about 100 songs, in five "volumes" (and a single on this year's AthFest compilation).

Now, it seems, that material will be culled down to one (or maybe two) CD's worth of music for an official release. As you can imagine, not all the songs recorded are "instant classics" by any means, but there's a ton of great stuff from those sessions (and plenty of cool guest appearances), and I'm glad it's found a home. No word on release date, but most likely this fall/winter.

Jack himself has recently relocated to New York for a short time (a coupla' years or so, I'm told). We wish him the best and eagerly await his return.

In the meantime, you can still download several "singles" from the sessions (as well as read about them and see accompanying artwork) at AthensMusic.net. (In a related note, they've posted a list of cool albums on the way. It was done a while ago, but still holds for the most part.)
