The excitement surrounding

the new Simon Joyner LP 'Out into the Snow' is mounting considerably. If you've not yet had the pleasure of hearing this great mans music, it's a good time to start. And the sweet folks at TEAM LOVE are making it really easy; the title track and 'Roll On' are up for your listening pleasure and if you join the Team Love library you can download a free retrospective consisting of  9 songs from the Simon Joyner songbook. If you pre-order the new LP you'll receive a  45rpm 7" with two new, exclusive songs. As if this wasn't too exciting already there are also new T-shirts designed by  our bro' Dave Bailey. The eagled-eyed amongst you may recognise the bullet-ridden skull as tweaked from  the 2007 Simon Joyner UK tour poster. Whatever, it's a beaut in either colour.

The D-Train, as well as taking the three-panel 'Daily'-type comic strip into the 4th dimension with Flesh & Bone, is a contributor to Jess Higgins' amazing new zine/life-project 'MUSEUMS' for which we are helping plan a launch (in OCTOBER) and are busy compiling a compilation tape to accompany which, hopefully, will feature (amongst 85 other minutes of bomb tracks from around the world) a new and exclusive Simon Joyner track. *


*the cyclical nature, convenient segue and narrative resolution/self-containment of this post was inspired by Curb Your Enthusiasm (in general) and (specifically) the episode wherein LD drools on the M.D at 'The Producers'.

We were thinking about

how when the Bob Dylan and JC sing together they sound as though they're trying to sing like Dean and Ricky.

AND THEN WE FOUND THIS SWEETHEART!
