Dudes! I updated the discography with pages for Public Domain Rainbow and Modernity Leave…finally! Which means all the lyrics are up, too (except for the improvised songs from Modernity Leave, for now at least). I know some people care about lyrics, and for those of you that do, you can see how little I care about mine! I hear a preschool in Cleveland is using the “New Times And Fire Road” text for the spring term of AP Story Time.

NEWSFLASH: I have submitted PDR to CD Baby, so it should be available in its physical form within the week. YES.

Also, don’t forget that Alex Arrowsmith and His (aka My) Pugs are playing at the Ash St. Saloon next Sunday the 28th. 9 pm, $5 at the door, 21+. I know it’s a Sunday, but we ARE playing FIRST. So it’ll be an early set if you need to be in bed by 11 pm to wash dishes the next day, like Mayhaw does.

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.

Happy hot damn New Year, chieves! I have some exciting news to announce: 1) The full live band debut of Alex Arrowsmith And His Pugs (my pugs being Ky Fifer on drums and Mayhaw Hoons on bass) will be at the Hawthorne Theatre on February 17! It’s a 21+ show, $4 at the door. I hope to see y’all there for this momentous occasion. It will be commemorated at Fort Clatsop for years to come.

And 2) Public Domain Rainbow is coming out NEXT FREAKING MONTH! OR SO! Finally eh?! More to come soon!

It’s official, my furry crustaceans: Modernity Leave is coming out NEXT MONTH! In just the past couple of weeks, I finished up the recording of a record total 40 songs on my shabby old Fostex XR-7 four-track contraption. Then just two days ago I mixed and mastered it in a day. Today I designed the cover. I love this album. It’s totally different from anything I’ve done so far. Not that it’s all crazy and innovative or anything. It’s just unpolished and rough as a rasp, which is something I’ve been wanting to do for a while. And I figured, to make it worth your while, I’d fill up an entire CD. While I recorded 40 songs, not all of them will fit, so there’s “only” going to be 36 songs. I’ll have the final running order up here soon!

PREPARE.

Also, don’t forget about my show on Sept. 3 at the Ash St.! Shove it into your temporal lobe!
