I had the pleasure to mix two songs for Cheap Star in Paris this week…did quite a bit of press for Soft Commands’ approaching European release date (Oct. 11, in fact, one week after REM’s Around the Sun is released). I will be posting some tour dates for Europe soon. REM has announced European tour dates for January and February 05, see remhq.com for details…I will have all of that posted on the site soon.
And yes…as someone wrote in and pointed out to me…there is a familiar musical theme within Frank Zappa’s Invocation and Ritual Dance of the Young Pumpkin, from the 1967 LP Absolutely Free…that those familiar with Any Love on Soft Commands would recognize…bizarre minds thinking alike???
Also, the Posies will be playing two shows in the Seattle area the week of Thanksgiving…stay tooned for details.
