A track from the Fiery Furnaces‘ upcoming EP:

Shearwater will have a new EP, Thieves, out on Misra on February 1st.

Also, out February 1st, hey, a new Jack Logan record! Nature’s Assembly Line will be Jack’s first album in over 5 years. See the Orange Twin site for details.

Damien Jurado fans, I assume you know about the This Fabulous Century LP that was released this week? 13 songs recorded by Damien between the time of album #1 and album #2. Limited edition of 600 - Damien has 300, and Burnt Toast has 300.

And RIP Dimebag Darrell. He was shot to death at point-blank range, on stage, apparently by a fan who was mad that Pantera broke up. Now that really sucks. And it also sucks that that bar is less than 5 minutes from my house, yikes.
