We went to Brooklyn to see Faith No More, enjoy some storytelling, and visit good friends. Check it out.

Here is what last weekend was like…

There is a review of Pretty World written here: http://www.canyouseethesunset.com/article/review-lasalle-pretty-world

Just some random photos…

You can now order our new CD from Gangplank Records or you can get the digital version on iTunes, AmazonMP3, and Emusic. We did much of this album on our own, so we appreciate any help we can get!

You can also listen to some of it on myspace.com/lasalle or my music page.

I already shared this, but I thought I’d test my audio links out…

I went to the studio today to do some LaSalle mixing and brought a cymbal. We are very close to being done with a new album, more on that soon.

I am going to post a quick “album of the month” blurb about albums that I think are worth checking out. I imagine that I will usually do it later in the month, to give other albums a chance… but since I can’t see liking anything more than this, I am posting it now. It is Interpol’s “Our Love to Admire.” It is my favorite Interpol album and what I like is the atmosphere and energy they create. There are many layers to the sound.

I also want to mention one I would have picked last month, which is Tomahawk’s “Anonymous.” These are Native American songs by unnamed composers that are reinterpreted. There are chants and spooky parts (thanks to Mike Patton) and a tribal feel throughout. This is a lot different than their previous heavy-rock albums.

Small Brown Bike is playing a couple benefit shows in September for our friend who has been battling Leukemia since February. So now after months in the hospital, intensive chemotherapy, and a bone marrow transplant, he’s ready to get back on his feet and we want to do what we can to help. I will be playing drums along with Jeff and we are very excited. So please visit smallbrownbike.com and jimlough.com for more details and donations!
