Hem

The play was Awesome- Spectacular!! The music was performed so well!!! Can't wait to hear the cast album and the new record...

Saw the show Sun night. What a fine production! Great music and great Shakes!

Just can't get enough HEM!!!!!!

Can't wait to hear it!

Okay, as far as anyone on our end knows, there is no link anywhere (as of now) to purchase/pre-order the Twelfth Night album via iTunes. It will, of course, be made available to download thru iTunes once it's been released (but you wouldn't need to pre-order that). The pre-orders are specifically for actual CDs that you can hold in your hands (or used as a Frisbee/projectile as my 4 year old just demonstrated...).

Just ordered my copy. Hope to enjoy it soon..

you guys can do anything. you're magic.

Wow! Congratulations!

Make mine a double!

One of Hem's greatest assets is the fact that you never skimp on an album! Lots of great music on an album at a great price and I'll ALWAYS come and see you when you're in town! Keep setting that high standard for all music lovers!

Hola Doug,
Over the years, many, many well-intentioned folks have asked if HEM was an acronym for all manner of monikers – this is our punishment for using all caps on our first album, and all lowercase on our 2nd. To name just a few of the more memorable examples:
"Historical Exploration of Music"
"Heart, Ears, Mind"
"Hoffnar, Ellyson, Messé" (a pedal steel enthusiast, no doubt)... Read More
"Happily Ever More"
"Hours Eat Minutes" (personally, I like this one)
"Howling Monkeys" (that fellow apparently had no use for the E)
"Howard's End by E.M." (this one just hurts my head, with the double E and the lack of Forster)

They get more even more tortured and silly..but no, alas, HEM is not an acronym (and notice we learned our lesson on Funnel Cloud, where we our name is spelled out with a capital H, and a lower case e and m – "Hem" – as in "the Hem of your dress..."

Hem it is, and the greatest music known to man will continue to be played in my MK-S, Media Juke-box, thumb-Drive, and CD! Until you get a channel on Sirrius Radio...

most people can't even SPELL Willeann... er.. Willyean... er... Uillleen... er.. .you know what I mean.

Where are you? There is a great one in Baltimore named Charlie McVicker. I could get you his number

And Katie Hughes is singing this song at my wedding in three weeks! Like heaven in my ears!

Yes! Glad to know that someone else hears it and it wasn't just my bundle of fatigue and dissatisfaction goosing my auditory cortex.

(Drumming my fingers on the table in anxious anticipation)

No Rolling Stones cover? That's it, I'm not buying the album. (I'll just keep whining about no Stones cover. That'll learn ya.)

drove up 70miles to see a band I had just heard of that week... fell in love with Rabbit Songs and then met you and saw you at the Newport in Columbus days later !! so cool! that was... ummmm 2002 ?

When are you guys coming back to reno?

That taunting Tweet about the album title? Mean! Very mean!

LOL - twitter legs - sounds like a dancer or something - "Let's hear it for Twitter Legs Johnson!"

I seems to be barely literate in these new modes of communication. I do know that my "Tweets" are @hemmusic (I guess @hem was taken). Does this help at all?

...can touch you now, and change the way you see.

Funnel Cloud is an excellent lens to read this blog through. I agree with your view of the winter; the bitter cold (at least here in Buffalo) seems to be hanging on for dear life.

I don't wish the cold away, though, because it is merely to wish life away. It shall pass on it's own.... Read More

Heck, there's only about two months left of the stuff, anyway. And then, both our corners of the planet (and for that matter, state) will find themselves reborn, renewed, and refreshed.

Excellent entry.
