AFS v. 190 w/ Dead Western live in Studio A!


Announcing the release of a momentous new LP, the sixth release from KDVS Recordings...

Soften Your Screams Into Sings is the first full-length album by Dead Western, a live staple of the Sacto psych/folk scene for the last few years, and the main musical project of artist Troy Mighty, who's known around here for his incredible drawings (with incredible linework often approaching the extreme detail of Nick Blinko) and for blowing horns in the amazing Antennas Erupt (r.i.p. 2005). I heard someone once say "Tiny Tim meets Peter Walker", but that oversimplifies Dead Western far too much. Surely, his songs can be miserably heart-rending, yet hopeful or even happy within the same verse. Basso profundo vocals swell your tears until the falsetto drives 'em away. Melancholic minimal guitar is the bedrock of most songs, but a mandolin, bass clarinet, kazoo, and maybe some other instruments provide an effective backdrop for Troy's very pliable singing voice, which is truly one of the most effective voices exploring the emotional depths and heights in the weirdfolk territories. This gets my highest recommendation as one of the best albums of 2008.

This 180-gram LP is limited to 500 copies in a beautiful handscreened sleeve designed by the artist. You can order it for $19ppd in the USA here...

(bit more expensive than usual, but worth it!)
(International orderers, please wait for more info here,

KDVS and fans in Sacramento and Davis are really proud about this one, and I'm very proud now to show you a live performance recorded tonight in Studio A at KDVS, which begins at approximately minute 35 of this mp3.

runescape gold of RS Online Game, we have made several changes to Fun Orb. If you wish to buy runescape to explore other spell books, you should subscribe as a Fun Orb member. Shattered Plans - a galaxy-spanning strategy epic that use rs gold to allow up to six players to battle for supremacy. We only plan to pay cheap rs gold when we feel you will appreciate the updates. And we certainly feel that these changes and some runescape money are worth telling you about.
Scions Of Fate gold is sometimes need to pay for in this Scions of Fate game. For example in this game, we have to buy sof gold to exchange premium in order to protect our character. The only part of this game will require you to pay SOF gold but they are optional for you to choose in the premium store. One very common item bought with cheap SOF gold at the store would be a pet. The Gameim.com is offering you with Scions Of Fate money and all kinds of cheap game gold.
