Debut album drops Oct 23 - so the rumors say.  Lookin forward to this.

I love Mike Doughty.  The fact that he dropped a rather successful band (Soul Coughing), kicked heroin, grabbed a rental car on a self funded 9,000 mile cross country acoustic tour and “decided” to go it solo without major label support are just a few reasons why this guy is in my top 5.  New album (Sad Man Happy Man) out now.  Audio quality on this video blows, but its about the best I could find from the new album.  Although having a cold right now, everything sounds like its underwater.  Better quality audio streams at Mike Doughty’s site

Felt like some early morning coffee spewing hilarity

Wakey Wakey

No! Not that one

Mmmmm.  retro-y breakfast this morning.

Frank Turner has a new album out - Poetry of the Deed.  I guess the video here is supposed to be a chronicle of the 24 shows in 24 hours.

First single from the upcoming album Cosmic Egg

The next video is what happens to that song when the band does a surprise jam session at Bowery Electric…

“I am an old scholar, better-looking now than when I was young. That’s what sitting on your ass does to your face.”

Leonard Cohen
