We're playing semi-acoustic and we've created some new arrangements for several of the songs. Glockenspiel, ukulele, melodica, harmonica, pedal steel guitar and banjo will be featured!

Say it ain't so!

Prabir & The Substitutes, one of the most fantastic rave-up groups, is calling it quits. The Novels have had the pleasure of sharing the stage with this band on several occasions and they always delivered fast and melodic rock n' roll music filled with five part harmony. I've seen few acts rip it up the way Prabir and the boys do it.

They're playing one last gig at Gallery 5 in Richmond, VA on December 12th. Sad.

My friends,

Often I can't find many things of interest on the web (apart from my daily viewing of the Living Rockumentary, Stereogum, The Rushmore Academy, various animal pornography sites & a few others), but this week has been inspirational!

Just watch this:

***Also, remember to come see the Caravan of Stars this Saturday at the Rendezvous***

Good Evening New York Cit-tay!

Last week I picked up a copy of the new Paul McCartney live album that was recorded over three nights last July at Citi Field. I was in attendance on the first night. To illustrate how excited I was to see one of my four heroes (for the other three, please see "the Beatles"), I can say with all sincerity this was probably the best night of my life to date. I'm sure you can see a little tiny white speck with brown corduroy on the dvd if you look into the stands.

So to answer your question, yes, that's me on backing vocals throughout. Jet!
