New Elvis song (and video . . . dig the imitation of the This Year's Model cover at the beginning). Disc(s) due Tuesday.
This song has grown on me, to be honest. And, I've heard from both the loyal and the pessimistic that The Delivery Man is his rawest, most enjoyable work in years. Of course, I'm a man who named his website after a song from one of Elvis' lest lauded works (though, oddly, one of my favorites).
So Elvis will hold me over until SMiLE is released the following week. And then, live-wise, it's Bobby Bare at Off Broadway on the 29th and Adam Marsland, with the incomparable Evie Sands on guitar, on the 1st. Adam will appreciate your patronage. Check out his site for an MP3 of "Other Than Me". Well worth a few megabytes for the download. Groovy organ too. His new disc includes appearances by Darian Sahanaja and Probyn Gregory of the Wondermints and Brian Wilson's band, Stew and Heidi from, well, Stew, Robbie Rist of Cockeyed Ghost and too many other bands to count and a few other notables. Should be a good listen when it drops.
Robbie RIST??? The SAME Robbie Rist from the 70s? I thought he died some untimely death, or something, like a million years ago.

Yep, THE Robbie Rist. Good old Cousin Oliver has put together a hell of a list of bands he's played with. He didn't die a destitute former child star. Instead he's played some damn fine music.
