Prolific singer-songwriter, producer, sound engineer, and Saturday Looks Good To Me frontman, Fred Thomas, has released his fifth solo album on Magic Marker Records entitled “Flood”. This is the second non-CDR, non-Michigan only release from Thomas.

The record is a step away from the ultra-poppy noise that Saturday Looks Good To Me fans have gotten used to. You can order a copy by clicking here, and listen to the last track of the album called “Last One” below.

We recently started a Vimeo channel which will contain all things K on Vimeo. Please subscribe if you are a Vimeo member. Although YouTube will remain our primary venue for videos (particuarly full-length shows), our Vimeo channel will always debut our Dub Narcotic Video Singles series before they air on YouTube, as the videos on Vimeo are of higher quality.

The Dub Narcotic Video Singles series are exerpts and highlights of previously uploaded full-length shows from our YouTube channel. Below is a list of the first batch of video singles.

1) The Blow - “The Long List of Girls”
2) Saturday Looks Good To Me - “Money In the Afterlife”
3) Old Time Relijun - “Cold Water”
4) Karl Blau - “Mockingbird Diet”

The videos in the singles series will appear on YouTube a week or so after we upload them to Vimeo.

Jeremy Jay has added another 45 to the International Pop Underground pile with “We Were There” b/w “Beautiful Dreamer”. Don’t confuse this with the recently released “Airwalker” 7″ / CDEP, which is now available at the K Mail Order Dept.

Also available from the K Mail Order Dept, new Saturday Looks Good To Me shirts for boys and girls. Not to mention, just in time for winter, K mittens!

I experienced a wonderful weekend of Saturday Looks Good To Me shows. Yesterday at the Hideout and tonight at Schubas. The band played songs never before performed live (in public) and I bought the new LP, Fill Up The Room.

Apparently they multi-tracked both shows and will be issuing a live double LP sometime next year, yay!
