Today's Golden Shoulders Fun Fact:
On this date in 1948, songwriter Nick Drake was born, God bless him.
The first time I heard Nick Drake's music, I was recovering from having my wisdom teeth taken out, and I was on the painkillers that were provided after my oral surgery. I don't really have any kind of tolerance at all for substances, so they were hitting pretty hard. I was zoning out on my pal Rich's couch (hey, it was Rich's birthday two days ago!) and he puts on this music. It was the prettiest music I'd ever heard. Still is.
Needless to say, I assumed the painkillers were doing the heavy lifting in terms of making this music sound incredible, but I revisited Nick Drake's music once I'd kicked my three-day pill habit, and it was still so beautiful. ''Ethereal,'' that's the word. You probably know this, but if you're not familiar with Nick Drake, today would be a good day to fix that.
It's his birthday, you know.

It's 2026 now. That seems so futuristic. Like we should be communicating through computers by now or something.
You can see our tour dates in that little box down there to the right; if we're touring, please come see us and bring a thousand friends. And suggest to your friends who live in towns where you don't live that they come see us too. If we have fun on tours, we'll tour more often. We're simple people that way. Other ways too.
Our latest full-length album is called "Could This Be the End," and it was released on September 13th, 2019. It's got 14 songs, and it's as upbeat and peppy as the title suggests. It's available from your local record store, Bandcamp, the iTunes Music Store, the Amazon Music Store, Spotify, etc., etc. If you're looking for physical copies, this one is available as a CD and also an LP, and you can get those from our Bandcamp merch page. We hope you like it, on account of how long it took us to make it! Yikes. Ten years between albums, man. Unacceptable.
Really, if
you want to listen to most of our music from the past 24 years, and we hope you do, you
can get all of our recordings from the iTunes
music store or on the popular Spotify music streaming service. Even the weird ones.
Regards,
Adam
