A video from last weekend’s Alex Arrowsmith And His Pugs show at the Ash St. Saloon here in Portland. Thanks to Colleen Perkins for the video!

In other news, PDR is now on CD Baby and iTunes. Go nuts and use your 401K on buying it multiple times.

Public Domain Rainbow will be on CD Baby/iTunes/whatever soon, but until then, if you would like a PDR straight from the source, here’s how: Paypal $6 to alex@alexarrowsmith.com, and include your mailing address (or email it to alex@alexarrowsmith.com). Easy eh! I LOVE going to the post office (no joke), so this actually works out for both of us.

Hark! PDR cometh from upon yon hillside! Today I sent off the final artwork and mastered songs to be printed and duped. Finally, after two years from conception to contractions, Public Domain Rainbow is finally and officially DONE. I don’t know when the exact release date will be, but it should be up on CD Baby/iTunes/etc. by the end of the month or early March. The arbitrary release date will be whenever I get the hard copies of the album shoved into my warm living hands.

I have songs from PDR in the player at the top of the page! Take a listen to minute to the songs!

Also! The full band debut of Alex Arrowsmith AND HIS PUGS (myself on guitar/vox, Mayhaw Hoons on bass and Ky Fifer on drums/vox) will be on February 17 at the Hawthorne Theatre. It’s at 8 pm, $4 at the door, 21+. Come out and witness apocryphal history! Also, we have a show at the Ash St. Saloon on March 28. Me and m’pugs must school the world.

I should also mention that I left Tiger House last week. So did Ky. However, Bill and Carl are picking up the pieces of that nuclear blast quite well, and from what I hear, they already have a replacement bassist and are auditioning 6 drummers next week! Awesome eh! I’ll also still be recording future Tiger House CDs and demos and whatnot. So you should still go see their shows. It is important.

Download Modernity Leave in its entirety.

I wanted to take a photo of Tessa buried in Modernity Leaves to announce its release, but she wouldn’t let me tonight. Now there’s just a bunch of cat hair all over my CDs. So I’ll just have to use words:

MODERNITY LEAVE IS OUT!!!

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

And by out I mean let me know if you want it and I’ll send/give you one. It’s free at the moment. I’ll probably add it to CD Baby/iTunes pretty soon, but for now you have to get it from the source.

It took a little longer than expected, but Make Me Dinner is finally up on iTunes! My new digital-only release Make Me Dinner gathers Missing Briefcase “b-sides,” demos and a couple new songs recorded just for the occasion. Click here to check it out.

Lizardly,
Alex

I added Make Me Dinner to the discography section! Since it is a digital-only release, that’s the only place you’re going to be able to get the “liner notes.” Also, all the lyrics are posted too. Commence poring.
