Mikey likes us.

This is not a recording post, but just a nod and thanks to our friend Mikey for playing the DP on his online podcast show. He has a radio podcast called "The Music Mikey Likes Show" and he happens to like us. So, he plays us.

He airs Monday through Friday, from 11 am to 1 pm, and Sunday replay marathons from 6 am to 2 pm.

Click the newly added link over on the right over there and get all the details, few as they may be, for Mikey's show over on Radio BBQ. You can listen by clicking the big flashing LISTEN button.

There's a lot of other stuff on that channel. Most of it far too weird for people to find funny or interesting, which in turn makes it somewhat interesting, and then just weird. But Mikey likes some good music and we're glad he likes us.

We're a very appreciative sort in the DP, so thanks Mikeyboy.

My New Favortie Song

[pui disclaimer]
Last week Big Ed's was closed for renovations. Back to business this week... we decided, after a days worth of email volleys, to forego a visit to the Globe Hotel/Bar/Restaurant and head straight to our rehearsal space and just fuckin' rock (my suggestion). We dusted off some old gems ("Nightingale", "Warm December", "Know" and "A Safer Hiding Place") before Charlie showed us a new song he'd hashed out during our hiatus. Actually, it began with me playing a rhythm on the drums that Charlie thought would work for a song he'd written. After all, we've got that sympatico, he and I. We've played together for over 25 years... we'd better have a chemistry by now. Anyway, the new song in question is called "Plastic" and it's my new favorite song. I think it's got an Afghan Whigs feel, but the other 75% of DP may disagree. We're off again next week, so hopefully it'll all come back to me/us when we get back together. Until then...
