god, i just spent 10 minutes trying to get a sesame seed out of the computer keyboard. success!
other successful operations: the 2nd round of life support packages (which means the new record) went out on wednesday. depending on where you are, you should have them sometime between today and the end of next week. huzzah! and there are new songs up on myspace, and soon (when i have more than half a second) we will put some up on this music player as well. i did just add a few shows to the tour page, in nyc and the uk. every day a little more.
also, as fran so nicely pointed out in the comments to the last post, you can go and listen to the raft of the medusa choir piece on cbc 2 anytime you like.
what else? i did a cute interview with sook yin lee for dnto (cbc1) on wednesday, i think that will air on saturday afternoon…..or maybe that’s not for a few weeks. it was fun though, i played casios in the woods and hugged trees with her. the mascall dance shows continue to go well, and the weather keeps getting slightly warmer. i think that’s all i have to report. til next xv
I fear I will be the last to get my copy:-(.
Travelling today, and will only be back home in two or three weeks. 🙁 🙁 🙁
When will you be accepting orders online?

My feelings about CDs being in the post and two shows in Cardiff (with band!) can be summarised as follows:
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
Dang, we are starting to sound like the obsessive fans of a certain famous piano “muse”… (it’s never been this hard to keep excitement in check 😉 ).
In my next post, I will tell how my life was so miserable till I got “This Riot Life”… He, he, he!
Screams with Fran: Yay!!
Screaming, moi? I’m shocked to be accused of anything so vulgar. I was quite clearly SQUEALING. Like a very excited little piglet.
Uh-oh, I feel another link coming on. Yep, according to their website the dnto interview was broadcast yesterday (Sat). But don’t be distraught if you missed it, Vedanauts for there is a podcast, and it can be downloaded here: http://www.cbc.ca/dnto/podcast.html
Heh, oops, hit submit before I was ready then. That last bit should have read “But don’t be distraught if you missed it, Vedanauts! For there is a podcast, and it can be downloaded here: http://www.cbc.ca/dnto/podcast.html” At least I had the right link in there, but I was going to add that I think it’s only downloadable for a week.
Hah… a tree hugger, eh?
Very funny interview and another great performance;-).
And CBC is officially the new mecca…
Thanks for the link. Here is an other one:

It´s from something called “Rundgren Radio”. A station devoted, yes you guessed it correctly, to Todd Rundgren.
Earlier today Andy Partridge chatted for more than two hours with fans about how it was when Todd produced the album “Skylarking” (a tough experience) and lot of other stuff.
Among the other stuff is a question from me if Andy and Veda plan to write any songs together. The answer? Hear for yourself! Download the show from the link above and you will hear my rugged voice kick in at 1, 04, 27, to be precise.
It was great fun and I am very glad I could slip in a question about Mrs V!
And hang in there. You got to hear about the Solar Barbaque that Todd treated the band with and the story about The Rubber Shark…
Life Supporter in Australia happy to report receipt this afternoon 19/2/08. Is it possible that I am the only person on this land mass with a copy?
Veda, This Riot Life is INCREDIBLE. Thank you so much!
You are one lucky woman Katelyn. Because this is is making me crazy! The mailman was just here and he had no riot whatsoever to deliver. How shall I survive this weekend? Even more disturbing is that I will probably not be at home at the beginning of next week…
I’m curious, will we be able to order this new CD from you soon? Great interview on DNTO, btw!
Can we start a campaign to have Ace of the Nazarene released as a single for the tour?
THIS RIOT LIFE received in Manchester UK with thanks and much admiration…every song is my favourite song. Come across the pond!

Oh hoorah…but only Exeter and Cardiff?!? Sob.

we’re working on lancaster too…..and london, but it’s hard over there. always happy to accept suggestions of venues! xv
Hmmm … I wish was more in the loop on venues and their gatekeepers to help you out. Shall make discrete enquiries!
In any case, I’ll likely be able to manage London!

ps – the album is truly fab. At the moment Lucklucky and Rose of Sharron in particular, but it cycles. (Not while I cycle, though, that would be dangerous.)
