the good word from the folks at esl music is that the new thievery corporation album "The Cosmic Game" is due out on feb 22! you can read the whole story over on their site. guest stars on the album include "Perry Farrell, The Flaming Lips and David Byrne as well as Sleepy Wonder, Lou Lou and Notch" -- it'll be interesting to see how they make that one work out.

the thievery duo are always good for some genre-bending downtempo music, so i'm looking forward to this one. 39 days to go... in the meantime, they've got a remix EP called "Babylon Rewound" that i need to take a listen to and post about.

so after much thought, i've taken down the old postnuke-based content management system, and moved to a simpler blog entry system for posting about downtempo music, and life in general.

i loved the old system, but i just didn't have the time to adequately maintain and develop it, so i wanted to do something that was easier for me to keep up, as well as to blog about life in general.

so check it out, enjoy, and don't worry, there's always some good radio to listen to around here!
