“This is an amazing album.”

I can only second that!

And also, I wanna thank Micah and John for giving it away and also tell them the plan worked: I got hooked and will purchase more Micah/Two Cow Garage, hehe! To this day I only own TCG’s Please Turn the Gas Back On, which I must admit I didn’t pay the attention it probably deserves. I’m gonna right that wrong now!

In addition, this is the best Can’t Hardly Wait cover I’ve heard this year!

I just drove out to Spokane from Portland to see Two Cow open for The Hold Steady in a tiny all ages club……it was AMAZING !! after the show I was catching up with the boys and I mentioned to Micah that I have been hearing a great buzz about the new album …… he looks at me and says “wait right here” …. he ran down to the van and grabbed a rare burnt copy for me and said “enjoy” …. understatement……this disc is in heavy rotation “American Static” and “My Blue Heart” are making my musical soul stir …. This is an amazing album.

Footnote: all of the songs are written for the next Two Cow record, in fact this may be the first time they have more than enough and will be able to decide on the best 12 or so. The band will be on “vacation” through much of November and December, but Micah will be touring solo in support of the new cd. The new TCG cd is scheduled to be recorded in Buffalo beginning in early Febraury. The plan is to tour in front of it, ultimately winding up in Austin for SXSW.

If you haven’t e-mailed John yet then get off your ass and do it. I think his support of Micah is amazing. And if you do e-mail him and don’t pay it forward you should have ass kicked from Lubbock to Brownsville and back.

Holy shit these are good. I love “Cut Me Mic.” Ending with “this is the sound of failing miserably” was great.

John, I’m gonna hit you up now for the PayItForward. Rad of you to support your son so much. I know a lot of good songwriters and musicians who might’ve had completely different lives if their parents would’ve looked at their talent as something more than just a phase or hobby.

Some info: Backing vocals is Bernadette Celio from Columbus, Ohio; the violin and cello were played by Sam Kim from the Columbus band, Ghost Shirt (very good, check them out on MySpace).

The locally produced discs went into production today, should have them in a week or so. The Master will be forwarded to Virgil @ Suburban Home who has a bunch of cool plans for it.

I’ve still got a couple of days left with YouSendIt; so the “Pay It Forward” offer still stands. Contact me at cledus56@adelphia.net.

Thanks for listening and giving a damn.

I am wicked excited about this album, and thrilled to have “American Static” for easy listening purposes — there was a video of Micah playing it outside a venue in front of a van that floated into my view a few weeks ago and I must have watched that thing a hundred times.

JC – the background vocalist, I believe, is Bernadette Celio.

I’m lucky enough to have Two Cow as a local band here in Columbus, Ohio. Earlier in the year, Micah did many shamefully under-attended Monday night solo shows playing alot of the songs that would end up on “When the Stage Lights…” It’s great to finally have those songs on CD and hear people saying such good things.
