The most knowledgeable musician/writer I’ve met. Keep up the great work. I appreciate the article on Jerry Wexler.

Trying hard not to make this read like spam… Just wanted to let you know about a new album by a Vancouver band called Way to Go, Einstein (brought to you by Submerged Records, who also brought you Hinterland and Windows ’78). It’s called Pseudonym, and I’ll gladly send you some more info on it if you’re interested.

Paul, I really like your blog and I really like all the artists that you write about. It is in that spirit that I send you this video. I just think you might like it. It’s a song I recorded at Abbey Road last year with Ken Stringfellow (Posies/REM/Big Star) on guest vocals and noted Liverpudlians Martin Carr and Rob Cieka of the Boo Radleys. It’s just out now on blue vinyl, so if you want a copy or an MP3, just em me. Rave on, brother!
