Coming soon to a stoner magazine near you...

Ooooh, two posts in one day! How exciting. Or maybe we just don't have lives.

To what do y'all owe this honor? The Mayflies will have a print add in Relix magazine soon, and you get to see it here first:

How purdy. By the way, Relix isn't really a stoner magazine, but just a very cool music journal. Ahem.

It's a Cracker!

Patrick Bloom is a cracker. Nope, we're not just being crass... Miles Of Music, the online retail big momma of Alt.Country and Americana, has declared Patrick's album Moses to be a Cracker. In Miles Of Music language, that means that they 100% guarantee the album. Yup, you can actually return the dang thing if you don't like it. On top of that, here's the description they laid on the disc:

"There is an honesty and generosity in the way Patrick Bloom presents his carefully crafted studies of the human experience. They are stories about you and I. His subjects are not extraordinary, it is their ordinariness that makes them special. Bloom`s jangly folk-pop infuses every track with a gently beating heart creating a beautiful collection"

...we know, we know, you already saw it on the front page of the Mud Dauber website, but bragging rights is bragging rights.

Iowa is friggin' DROWNING.

Iowa has taken on water, man oh man. There have been a ton of aerial photos in the papers and they're all pretty stunning, but while they show the intensity of the devastation, they can't really comment on the personal hit our peeps have taken. So your pals at Mud Dauber Records would like to offer the video below. Andrew Sherburne, the publisher of Iowa City's local monthly indie mag Little Village, will take you on a brief tour of his flooded neighborhood and home. Our best wishes go out to Andrew, his wife, and all of the other folks who have taken a hit on this one. Actually, our best wishes go out to every person on the planet, but you get the point...



We'd also like to point out that Cedar Rapids, just 20 minutes north of Iowa City, was stomped. It's catastrophic up that way. The entire downtown area was submerged. Here's a pic from Liz Martin at The Gazette:The above photo is downtown Cedar Rapids. Jeebus in a handbag. Be safe.
