Thirteen Birds vs. The Record Desk

First, good news — the new Thirteen Birds Teen Spirits EP is available for download! Click HERE. This little release features five more songs about teenagers, vampires, history, and whatnot.

The bad news — I’ve been really lousy at managing the Record Desk of late because I’ve started grad school and am still getting the hang of keeping up with my course work and my other work. I’ve got some new stuff en route that I’m excited to write about. You should see some seasonally appropriate material soon.

As you may have noticed, things have been quiet on the ol’ blogstead of late. That’s because my creative firepower of late has been rerouted to the writing, creating, and recording of the very first full-length Thirteen Birds “record” Black Rabbit. Check it out over at http://www.thirteenbirds.com/recordings.htm.

I’ve been stewing over the next post a bit and it took a while for me to feel my way through what I wanted to say. With this project taken care of and a new EP coming shortly, I should be able to get back to blogging with some regularity. I apologize for any inconvenience. In the coming weeks I plan on doing some shorter-form more “review-like” treatments of albums I’ve been enjoying. Thanks for reading. Feel free (as always) to comment or email.

Just a quick heads-up — I recognize that I have been remiss w/r/t regular posting. I have good reasons. (Really!) I recently spent a week in Tokyo and wasn’t blogging while on vacation. Also, I’ve been finishing up some pressing graduate school application matters. Regular activity will resume shortly. Sorry for any inconvenience.
