I believe hes super swamped at work. No news yet, but I am back in Oregon right now and will most likely see him this weekend, so I'll talk to him about it more.

In other news, I just finished a new mix and will be uploading it along with a few older mixes as soon as I get a chance.

Hi mate. Any news on the site? Has Eric left us forever?

The only time I saw him play was at a Tom Petty concert actually. He came out and played 3 or 4 songs with all of them. He was awesome.

Glad you liked the Portishead. I will be in touch about site ideas. At the moment, I am cobbling together a Bo Diddley tribute mix. That man was fucking it as far as I am concerned.

The Portishead Bootleg sounds fantastic!

The only one Ive heard that is better from Coachella is this Daft Punk on I have, but the person combined a bunch of the bootlegs to get all the good sounding parts and layered some to get a fuller osund. This one is great though!

Thanks.

Also, if you have any ideas regarding the site as well feel free to let me know!

Cool mate, thanks for the update!

I havent gotten a chance to listen to it yet. I just got back from out of town so I'll get to look soon.

As far as the community here, it does seem like it is dying isnt it? I dont want that either. Eric and I actually discussed it over a romantic Chinese food dinner this past weekend and there might be some small changes going on. I'll let you know when I find out more.

It feels like this site/community/therapy center/ is fading away. I don't want that to happen. Hope you don't either!

Yeah, that is a portrait of Vlad Tepes, done a 100 years after he popped his clogs, but supposedly copied from a contemporary original. Mind you, it also says something similar on Wikipedia, so it is probably all bollocks! Meanwhile, what did you think of the Portishead?

Cheers mate. Bloody hell, I will have to get tickets for Cave! I have never seen Cat Power live, so that will be a plus!

Currently enjoying the Delta Sledg mix very much.

Side news: Nick Cave will beblessing us with his presence in September. He gonna play the Hollywood Bowl with Cat Power and Spiritualized opening it looks like. Other dates in San Fran, Portland, Seattle too.

Really liking Son House

You sir, are my hero.

Thank you so much! I cant wait!

Delta stuff on way. I will let you know when I have the sendspace link in about half an hour!

Thanks kind sir. Yeah, LA is awful for helpful signs.

You better believe it! Thank you so much!

Hope you are still up for some delta blues. I will be sendspacing you a mix of stuff I like in the next few days!

The 1992 Television album was suprisingly good, actually, but its a bit like the situation I find with Portishead now. Their new one is interesting, has some great moments, and all the ingredients that made them what they once were but it still comes as a disappointment. This is due in part to the fact that Dummy had such a catacylsmic effect on me that anything after that was bound to suffer in comparison. It was the same with Marquee Moon. That is si wonderful that it was always going to be hard to live up to. I will listen to any new Television release though, just in case. I think the exception to this rule is Bowie. He has had this brilliant ability to reinvent himself countless times that kept successive releases fresh and interesting.

Quick question sir,
How do you feel about the band Television? Im a big fan, but I was wondering if you had heard the album they put out in 1992 and any thoughts on it you might have. I havent heard it but I have a feeling i shouldnt check it out. I also just read that they are recording a new album as i type this, which makes me scared also. Its without Richard Lloyd too.

Oh man. Way to fan the flames of my obsessive collecting habits. YES!
