Friday night dance party
Back from the Misprint show at Flamingo- Our dear labelmates, The Handsome Charlies, were very much handsome and very much Charlies, and though correct capitalization can be hard in times such as these, I must Say that Good times seemed to Be Had by All. As for the Casting couCh, we are going to sleep now, tucked in our little bEds with our very overly-due-for-new-ones piLLows, with our sad, sad sheets and our seams-broken comforters. All is Strangely Still, and visions of Sugar plumS would be dancing were we to know exactly what they looked like. Would they jiggle when we accidentally hit the table with our elbows? Would that be disgusting or exciting?

Deep Thoughts about hair, our refurbished website, possibly about stuffed doggie toys (elephants) and general musings about the new and old year
Hello there, readers of the The Casting Couch b(log). Long time no write from me... 2005 was quite a little undertaking, now wasn't it? The walls of Communism were torn down as we watched on our television sets, we all finally figured out how to solve at least one side of a rubix cube. Pointy toed shoes were in and still aesthetically distasteful, and we all wore big plastic earrings that matched the threads in our straight-legged, if not peg-legged, jeans...

Alas, I am writing to say that our website has been refurbished... kind of like mini disc microphones that you can get for cheaper at the Sony outlet store. Yes, just like that. It's a bit of the same, yet slightly different, and still fairly discounted. One only has so much time. However, there are new pictures to see, new press(es) to read, new links to songs...

We would like to thank everyone who came to our uber successful CD release show during the pre-holidays. We had a great time, and we enjoyed seeing the Orange Mothers as always.

What's in store for The Casting Couch for 06? New haircuts, better shoes, working car door latches, mended broken windows, practice room reorganization projects, greater participation in organized sports, more air america, less focus on the family radio, new songs, more communication with the outside world, an exciting tour (march), an exciting sxsw (several day shows in a row (your boat), probably free beer... we'll keep you posted), and lots of fun and exciting unmentionables on the way. and more shoes.

i must get my sleep in order to embark upon such lofty goals first thing in the morning. - posted by log @ 10:50 PM |   

 
Row Your Boat review from dave heaton at erasing clouds:

in summary...

...Every song on Row Your Boat, no matter how simple it seems at first, reveals layers the more you listen. Layers of meaning, layers of sound, and emotional layers, too. It's a fun album, light in tone, yet there's a hefty emotional and intellectual power to it as well. It's that rare album that's filled with so much – hooks and textures, questions and puzzles, tears and smiles – yet you always end up wanting more, ready to hear it again. - posted by julie beth @ 10:25 AM |
