Propellor Time: 22nd March 2010


from robynhitchcock.com, and while you there check out the recently renewed website with some free exclusive tracks to download. Keep an eye out for upcoming tourdates.

Matthijs updated us with a short review of the Spanish shows he went too.

Had a great weekend in Spain and really enjoyed both gigs - very different, not only in setlists but also in venue, atmosphere etc. I have soundboard recordings from both nights.

For now enjoy a few videos from the vitoria gig - one shot with my mobile during the last song - Go Gorilla, with the guys swapping instruments and Scott on drums - he's actually not bad, definitely doing a better job than Peter when he plays drums during one of the Robyn & V3 gigs!

Enjoy and more to come later.

Cheers

Rolling Stone magazine in Germany celebrates is 15th anniversary with a special magazine for October. The magazine comes with a CD titled "15 Geburtstags-Lieder" and has some exclusive tracks on it. Minus 5 bandleader Scott Mccaughey wrote down the song "All The Best (You German Rolling Stone)".
Scott is also featured on the unreleased live version of "These Days" by R.E.M. which can also be found on the disc.

To celebrate the "The Walkabouts" 25th anniversary, Glitterhouse records will release a tribute album on September 25.
The Minus 5 contributed with the track "Nightbirds" from the album "Nighttown" released in 1997. Steve and Linda from the Baseball Project covered "Jack Candy" and The Bambi Molesters did "Sundowner".

The CD will be released as a double disc, with the second containing the original Walkabouts songs remastered.

Just when you thought Scott hadn't released enough albums this year, the Minus 5 come up with another one. Tho this time you will not find it in your favorite record store, down the street or online for that matter. No you need to get out of your chair and go to one of the current Minus 5 / Baseball Project / Steve Wynn IV shows in your neighborhood. There they will have a 17 track cover CD for sale called "Butcher Covered." At this moment there isn't much info about it, as the CD comes without a tracklist or liner notes. but it seems to consist of tracks the Minus 5 did for various compilations over the years : Johnny Cash’s "I Still Miss Someone" Lynerd Skynrd’s "That Smell", John Lennon's "Power to the People", The Kinks "Get Back in Line" and "Wicked Annabella", Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers "Government Center" and the MC5’s "High School" among others and the previous unreleased Neil Young song "Revolution Blues".

We would like to hear what other tracks are on the album. You can discuss it in the forum.
we now have the entire tracklist figured out, look for it after the break, or not if you wanna be surprised when you buy the CD, thanks to countfeed.
