What’s new?  Well, this website’s location (and much of its design) is new! My pal Deborah Moore has just created a domain called Artsnacks and she’s getting some of her artist friends in on the deal (including yours truly). Deborah and I are going to be collaborating on web projects a lot more, now that we’re both freelance HTML queens. (Though she’s a few steps ahead of me seein’ as how she’s a fantastic graphics artist too!)

On the music side of things, there’s a brand-new lil’ four-song EP of some of my original songs, out now on Drag City Records. The music is a bit moody and spacey…it’s not exactly country, but it’s all mine, so you know, I tend to like it! And there’s lots more on the way, so check back here from time to time for announcements.

Drag City: This Means War
©1996, Jade Music / Toy’s Factory #TFCK-88784 (Japan)

My song "Calling Over Time" (the same version that later appeared on my first album of the same name) was included on this Japanese compilation CD, along with tracks by Palace Brothers, Royal Trux, The Red Krayola, Gastr del Sol, Smog, Flying Saucer Attack, Plush, Silver Jews, and Cynthia Dall.

Released sometime around the spring of 1996; I’m not sure of the exact date.  I can’t read Japanese, but it’s almost certainly out of print, and isn’t available on Drag City’s site either.
