Glen Phillips updates
Toad the Wet Sprocket frontman Glen Phillips has new projects (now with names) with albums on the horizon:
The Plover record (project with Neilson Hubbard and Garrison Star) is done, and will be available in the next few months.
Also – The other band, the one without a name, now has a name. We are the Works Progress Administration. Go to WPAmusic.com for a taste.
He’s going on tour with Jonatha Brooke in late Oct / early Nov. Sean and Sara Watkins from Nickel Creek in late Nov. And Jonatha Brooke again in early December. I’ll be seeing him in early Nov in Portland (Aladdin Theater, 11/6), as I’ll be up there for work. His tour dates are not in an easily copy-n-pasteable format; so GO HERE for any of his tourdates.

I’ll be in Portland* on Monday, October 6th for work.
*-Portland, Oregon. Maine, quit asking!! It’s not gonna happen.
Icelandic ambient/post-rock/rock band (pick one) Sigur Rós will also be in Portland on Monday, October 6th… for work at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall (downtown).
I just got a ticket to their workplace to see what their daily grind is like. This’ll be my 5th time seeing them… and I’m stoked. Each time is surreal / magnanimous / phosphorescent / pah-nah-men-ah.
Sigur Rós can come see me at my work for free that day, because that’s how *I* roll. Jonsi, call me. ::gestures::
