My biggest “NEWS” is the release of MENOMENA’s “friend and foe” album.
You can listen to it here: http://barsukmusic.blaireau.net/menomena but I must endorse seeking out a tangible copy of the disc.
1) It’s a profound, rocking, apocalyptic celebration.
2) The band are all dear buddies of mine. Please, support the musicians.
3) The album drawings/design are by me — hyper-detailed and perforated with lots of diecuts and interactivity and decoder-ring surprises.
Here’s PITCHFORK’s description:

My dearest brother Jon (“Phil”) set up this blog for me on June 25th, 2006. Finally, almost a year later, I’m attempting to post.

Here’s his site.
