"they carry all of my releases year-round, not counting the forthcoming album containing these new songs."

good to see him making music and playing out again, although i don't know how he's doing it.

whoops: full size image at http://pwelverumandsun.tumblr.com/ if that's too small

I hope he knows everyone is rooting for him

Would love to go to this..I'm in Vancouver, not too far...

Saw Phil several years back when he first started out as Mount Eerie in a overly hot non air conditioned room. He would play guitar for a few songs, jump on the piano and if something wasn't right, he would stop and switch to something else. Unique experience to say the least.
