Each song has a different guest singer. I sang backups for Sally Timms on the song "Long Black Veil".
All artists’ proceeds benefit the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty and the Illinois Coalition Against the Death Penalty.
Bloodshot just sent me a copy of the new Pine Valley Cosmonauts double-CD, the Executioner’s Last Songs Vol. 2 and 3. It’s coming out on June 17th… I did harmonies for Sally Timms on the song "Long Black Veil". It sounds really really nice. You can read about it on the Bloodshot page, and I’ll post more info here when the time comes.

Kelly Hogan and I did backup vocals all over this record. But there are a LOT of vocals happening, so I’m still trying to figure out exactly which songs I’m on.
Weird… I’ve gotten a couple of spams today that had my OWN address as the "sender". Both were ads for Viagra… no attachments, so I don’t think this has anything to do with the Klez worm. One of them seemed to originate from Korea, and the other from AOL, but they both had the same x-mailer in the header: "The Bat! (v1.52f) Business". Strange!! If I get any more I’ll run ‘em through Spamcop. Haul those headers in for questioning, as they say.

I got a couple of blurbs in on an episode of Artbeat, on WTTW Network Chicago. The episode was hosted by Nick Tremulis and featured dozens of Chicago-area musicians, including Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick; Jon Langford; Robbie Fulks; Kelly Hogan and Neko Case.

Okay, I know I’ve been suckin’ with the diary thing. I avoid updating it for some reason, just like I do with my e-mail. Days go by and I don’t even touch it. ::I’m sorry!!:: Just keeping to myself I guess. In the online sense.
I’ve been having a lot of fun with that van. I took it out to Berwyn on Saturday night to participate in a Bob Wills tribute by Jon Langford & the Pine Valley Cosmonauts, at Fitzgerald’s. I gave Jane Baxter-Miller a ride and took Iris on the highway for the first time. The Eisenhower and, on the way back, the Kennedy even! I’m so freaky paranoid about this thing, even though I’m insured out the wazoo. (My car has insurance but my body doesn’t!?!)
