We All Inherit The Moon, a San Diego & DC-based ambient collective, will provide a short opening set. Performing in this incarnation will be guitar wizard Kyle Woodworth with Gordon on cello.

thanks simon! it actually comes from the name of cheney's secret cabal that formed plans to invade syria, etc. - although i think it was actually called "future planning committee" or something.

Gordon Withers Finalizing the layout and liner notes for the album - exciting! Even better: the folks pressing the vinyl said the reference lacquer sounds perfect. Test pressings next week!

ttam just pointed out that one could argue crowdsourcing the production of your album is SOCIALIST. i'd better watch out for teabaggers and birthers!

Gordon Withers needs $2,500 to finish producing his new rock album for the cello. Since record companies aren't in the business of taking chances anymore, Withers needs to find the money elsewhere.

Awesome, great observations - thanks Ronny!

Flood is actually a Burning Airlines cover, and J Robbins (who wrote it and used to lead B.A.) produced the album. I told him to just go crazy with this version - to do whatever he wanted. The clockworkesque stuff is actually pitch-shifted and warped glockenspeil. That song also has my favorite ... Read Morepercussion of all. Two djembe tracks and a track of a really weird miniature toy hand-drum that my brother somehow managed to master after about 2 minutes. He took the inspiration for the percussion from a Trail of Dead song.
