Please note that I added a whole bunch of new Logh dates to the "In Concert" section in the sidebar. Test presses for the new 7" arrived yesterday and sound fantastic, so we're on-track to get the finished vinyl by the end of the month. BrooklynVegan readers may want to note that the b-side "Into the night" features Britta Persson and can be downloaded in the mp3 playlist area on the right (click the expand-bar at the bottom to find the link).
A new month means a new album of the month selection for the record club, so if you'll look to the right you'll see that March's selection is "Museum of future sound", the new skweee comp on the way from Flogsta Danshall. This disc is so fresh, it won't be ready for shipping until mid-month, but you can preview a few tracks at myspace: http://www.myspace.com/flogstadanshall
Want to learn more about the new sensation known as skweee? Start with wikipedia and venture onward!
Also note that the price of subscription has gone up another dollar to $12/mo, still a total steal considering all the extras you get for being a member. I'm gonna try to hold it at this price for awhile, but we'll see how it goes. I gotta cover costs, y'know?
The other exciting news for the day is that I've started taking preorders on the new Logh 7" I'm putting out. It's been sent to press, so I expect to have the finished product within 3-4 weeks at the most. In the meantime, I've posted the b-side for download 'cuz I know that a lot of people are excited to hear it. Logh + Britta Persson covering the theme to "Twin Peaks". How awesome is that?
