A CD that everyone should buy
First of all, thanks to everyone who came out for the Fox & Goose show in Sacramento last weekend. Special thanks to Simone who traveled all the way from Seattle! Hope we'll see lots more of you at the San Francisco show on Aug. 2!
Occasionally we like to take a break from pimpin' our own CDs to recommend a disc by someone else. Tris McCall is a longtime 125 Records favorite; before Tris had his own CD-selling set-up, we offered to sell copies of his brilliant If One Of These Bottles Should Happen To Fall on the 125 web site. Tris just self-released his third solo disc, I'm Assuming You're All In Bands, and it is perhaps his strongest work to date. Tris's primary instrument on the album is electric harpsichord, which sounds weird, but it works. You can buy the disc for a mere $8.99 at CDBaby, which will send it to you at lightning speed. Like Scott Miller (who produced most of Bottles), Tris is probably too idiosyncratic and dedicated to following his own unique muse to ever achieve commercial success, but he definitely deserves a larger audience. "I don't really give a damn/ About what normal people do," sings Tris in "The Hymn Against the Whiskey." If you can identify, you need this CD.

guys, thanks very much for the kind words! it was a very enjoyable album to make, and supporting it has been fun, too. one thing: it's not a self-release, it's part of the *jersey beat* empire. i just didn't put that on the cdbaby page, because i forgot that people who don't live in the nyc metro area (and who have been bombarded by my hype) check in there. the whole concept of internet geographical impermanence continues to throw me! but yes, i should take this opportunity to continue to wave the *jersey beat* flag. there is a very good chance i will do the old national tour -- or at least a tour of cities i like -- in the nexy 12 months. i will let you know! xo. tmc.
