New Album Starts Gestation |

Peter and Mike are in the studio laying down tracks before they let Michael loose on them. There is an interview here they say.

Pitchfork: I understand you guys are very early in the recording process right now.
Peter Buck: Yeah, I'm not even sure you could say we've started the record. But Mike [Mills] and I write all the time, and I had a bunch of songs we were going over during soundcheck on the last tour. I just didn't want to forget mine. Mike had some stuff he wanted to do.

Yes, James, your boy wonder site creator and sometime web master is now a man. So if you start plotting the downfall of Western governments on Oddies the men in black will be calling on him instead of me.
Happy Birthday (insert embarrassing nickname of choice)
He doesn't want a fuss, so you can imagine how much I had to hold myself in. Family lunch on Saturday and an open BBQ with a small LAN party overnight merging into a second BBQ party and karting expedition on Sunday.
All welcome on Saturday from 4ish onwards.
