Ok, you guys know I don't usually shill for stuff on the blog, but this is a good one. Harris Newman has a new album out (well, kinda new - September '07) and it's totally hitting the spot right now during these winter doldrums. Smoky folky acoustic guitar raga type stuff with hits of Fahey, Kottke and Jansch. Harris is an old amigo of mine from Montreal who does audio mastering, plays in a group called Triple Burner with Godspeed You! Black Emperor / Silver Mt. Zion members, and is usually riding a bike when I see him. Anyway, if you gotta save up your pennies for the whole album, you can still go over to Harris' MySpace and download my favorite track, "Anamnesis," for FREE.

Totally unrelated: our dance music queen, Ms. Alison Tara, is spinning this Sunday in TOKYO (!) so go out and show her some love. Here are details:

P.S. Gaslamp - Palmer Scott is that dude. Check this shit out:
