Welcome Back Cotter

Here we are, back in the warmth and comfort of our own beds, processing, relaxing, channeling, planning, rethinking, and moving forward. We've got a little bit of downtime before we really do anything else. We're hoping to record some long-overdue tracks, we have some shows coming up at the end of March, and we're gonna start getting busy again in April and May. We'll be delving back into the musically analytical mind to try and pull out some new sticky jems.

I've been really mesmerized by the likes of The Police, Prince and David Bowie, so maybe some sort of 3rd Tier groove heavy derivative will emerge out of the funk. Here's of list of smooth jammers that aren't exiting my brain:

Dirty Mind - Prince
The Beautiful Ones -
Prince

The Man Who Sold The World - David Bowie
A New Career In A New Town - David Bowie
Sound and Vision - David Bowie
Message In A Bottle - The Police
Spirits In The Material World - The Police
When the World Is Running Down, You Make the Best of What's Still Around - The Police

21st Century Invention - Young Widows

Here's a Youtube Playlist with some of these songs:

Good times.

We're playing a second home-coming show at the Floristree on Wednesday, February 18 w/ Mahjongg!

See you there!
