And then there were five

It's not the Storyhill discography yet by any means, but on the other hand we're still at a point where we can expand our catalog by 25% in a single morning. There is much rejoicing around the CST complex this morning.

EDIT - click here for the first review of the new disc.

These posters will start going up around Decorah tomorrow. Whee!

A correction from the last post - our performance on KWLC's 30 Minutes/Thursday show won't be broadcast until May 3. Feel free to tune in Thursday night anyway - I'm sure whoever's playing will do a lovely job - but no CST webstream for a few weeks yet.

CST = College Show Time!

Next Thursday we're playing at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa. Our second college show ever (if one limits the definition of "college show" to only include colleges neither of us are attending at the time) and a place we've been excited to play since our own college days. We're quite excited and most nervous. And Matt has a cold and is all hoarse and phlegmy, so the show's obviously a shoo-in for awesomeness.

It'll be the first time we play some of our new stuff live and it's a free show, so if you find yourself in the Decorah area next Thursday at 9:00 stop on by the Student Union basement.

And even if you're not in the Decorah area, you can listen to us on KWLC radio's 30 Minutes on a Thursday broadcast - webstreamed from here. The show's on at 11:00 p.m. Central and they claim the streaming will even work on dial-up. It's a similar format to KUNI's Live From Studio One, which we've played a few times (although only half an hour long) - a mix of live music and interview time. We'll play at least one of our brand new songs on the air, too.

And here it is:

The CD is in production. Oh, excitement is mounting! Keep checking back for exciting news about CD release shows and other fun stuff.

WHAT I KNOW NOW

Here is what I know now:

• Central Standard Time's third full-length, all-original CD is finished and set for production to begin.
• The new CD should be (cross your fingers, knock on wood, etc.) in our hands in time for our March 29th show at Luther College.
• The new CD has been a long time coming. We've been working on it in one way or another for about... four years (?). I think that's right.
• The title of the CD is What I Know Now.

Whew... more to come soon!

And that was really fast

Sent in for mastering yesterday morning, back to me this morning. Matt Nelson, you're a miracle worker.

I'm listening to the new CD in its final form for the first time right now.

As the ancient Romans said, yay!

This is really weird...

The final mixes for the new CD (which is now, I believe, officially titled "What I Know Now") will be sent in for mastering this morning. The master should be at Discmakers by Monday, and CDs should be back here a couple of weeks after that.

I'm not sure I'm ready to live in a world where this CD's something other than a project we're working on.

But I expect I'll pretty quickly get used to it.
