Because she loves me, Erin McKeown released a six song EP today. It's a short introduction, an interview and tracks that she performed live on Morning Becomes Eclectic on KCRW. The EP's a download only, from any of the usual places that you'd download music. If you've got a real audio player, you can check out the whole 36 minute long set for free right over here. (Not sure how long that'll last, though.)
Now, you should know that it's not new stuff. The six songs (Aspera, Beautiful (I Guess), We Are More, White City, Float and Life On the Moon) are all off of Erin's most recent album. But I think Erin's live performance energy, and a bit of the improvisation/re-orchestration she brings to a gig, comes across pretty well. Interview's snazzy, too. "Smokey-voiced." Damn. A little more of an accent than I've heard from Erin in the past, which is interesting.
Live On KCRW, available now. Because Erin McKeown loves me, dammit.

Hey Jason, I have to say that I received the best Valentine's present ever. Ogre gave me a Gothic flanged mace for Valentine's Day! :) Yay! :) L'amour... It must be true love if there are gifts of high-carbon steel involved. :) :)

Hhm. Well, a mace is pretty cool, but how much use is it likely to see?
You know what? Don't answer that...
