New Novembor: New Webstore, New Comp & Other News
THE FUTURE AND THE PAST COLLIDE AND STUFF IS HAPPENING NOW!
NEW WEB STORE
Some of you may have noticed that the webstore page linked above has been removed. WELL DUDE, ITS CUZZ I TOTALLY MOVED IT! I have decided to consolidate all physical copies of my records that I have for sale to my bandcamp page (where I also sell my downloads). This will be easier to navigate both for me and people purchasing physical records as well. The biggest perk being that you will get an immediate free download of said physical album you are purchasing at the moment of online sale at the store. Pretty cool right?
Check it out by clicking HERE.
DOUBLE NIGHTMARE DOUBLE CD NOW AVAILABLE
My new 2 hour, 40 song, double CD entitled, DOUBLE NIGHTMARE, is available now for purchase! CD-R's burnt at lowest possible speed with full color covers assembled by hand by the artist (me!). Available for purchase now on bandcamp at this link HERE.
UPCOMING SHOWS
I have two upcoming shows!
I have a full band show as SLW & The Garbage Boys this Saturday Nov 3rd at The Replay Lounge in Lawrence, KS also on the bill is the fantastic country noise group THE ANTS.
On Saturday Nov. 10th I will be doing a solo opening acoustic set for a FULL BAND Simon Joyner at a very special FREE SHOW in IOWA CITY at The Trumpet Blossom Cafe. Show will start at 9PM sharp!
WOW!
Will have records in tow! A true delight for all the census bureau!
SLW TRACK INCLUDED ON THE IOWA CITY SONG PROJECT COMP
I recently had a track included onto the "Iowa City Song Project" Compilation out now on Maximum Ames Records. A selective look at the current crop of music coming out of the state of Iowa. I covered the song "DEATH BUGGY" by one of my all time favorite punk rock and roll acts HOUSE OF LARGE SIZES. Get it on CD or 2xLP while they last, HERE.
JOE JACK TALCUM TRIBUTE COMP
As mentioned in the post below I was involved in the birthday tribute comp album for Joe Jack Talcum. I play gtr and keyboard on the POWDERS track "Rick Don't Lose Your Smile". A mighty good listen through and through. Listen and download HERE.

A series of videos are being released in support of the new album "DOUBLE NIGHTMARE". You can check them all out at my new sweet YOUTUBE CHANNEL.

"NOW YOU ARE 50" compilation
I recently participated in the Joe Jack Talcum tribute album "Now You Are 50". It was a present for Joe's surprise 50th birthday party. The album was compiled through the hard work Marshall Fischer and Dan Stevens.
For a few years now I have had the pleasure of occasionally playing in one of Joe's live backing bands THE POWDERS with Grace Locke Ward, Rachel Feldmann & Kate Kane, and this is the song we did together for the album:
http://nya50.bandcamp.com/track/rick-dont-lose-your-smile-2
Joe Jack Talcum is one of the greatest people I have ever met and I am very proud to have been involved in this project. Download the entire album at the link below:

Also, out now: the long unreleased album, "SUICIDE SONGS".
