Sneaking up on the Moon, by Gentle Hen

Reposted by Rub Wrongways Records

Henning @henningo.com · Sep 8

It's been brought to my attention that we released our album Sneaking Up on the Moon on this day eight years ago. According to the bandcamp page though it's two days from now eight years ago. Who are you gonna believe? And why does it matter? Anyway, if you haven't heard it, I hope you will.

Salvation Alley String Band “is deep into tongue-in-cheek romantic disasters on a dozen new tracks rooted in a honky-tonk sound fit for the dancehalls of Bakersfield, and shot through with bits of western swing and old-school rock ’n’ roll.” - Freak Scene

Freak Scene #81: Salvation Alley String Band Return with 'Waltzing Alone'

Also, Enfield indie-pop musician Raeann Fetcho is really, really good on her new album 'Saint Kitschy.'

"Some say when one starts singing about songs, they’ve run out of ideas. “Number Four In Norway” is the first of two songs about songs being released by Jason Mazzotta. “In these dark times, I’m not afraid of going a little dumb,” the New York singer/multi-instrumentalist recently told me."

If you listen to it twice, you’ll be singing it all day. And that’s a good thing. You’ll feel good all day with that tune in your head.

A while back, @sittingnexttobrian.bsky.social gave me this Steve Keane Syd Barrett painting and I finally mounted it in a permanent spot in the @rubwrongways.bsky.social studio. Right above Elvis Costello and Beethoven and next to Syd Barrett. Inspiring eyes for making music.

I've got a rare Boston-area solo show this weekend at Village Social Club in Brookline. I've not been there and don't know what to expect. Maybe I'll be background music in a loud restaurant, maybe I'll be the focus. I have no idea. Do you know it? Any thoughts? villagesocialclub.com

This Devalued podcast episode with @emmaswiftsings.bsky.social & @robynhitchcock.bsky.social is a nice thoughtful, friendly conversation that touches on a lot of similar thoughts I have as a guy with a wee indie label (rubwrongways.com). Things like, what am I doing? And why am I doing it?

The inimitable pair join Devalued for an in-depth chat about Tiny Ghost Records and their creative journey.

Introducing the video to my song We Don't Go Outside anymore, now with lyrics! It was a cold, cold day whenever back then it was and I was in a tree house with a roof lower than my head. Today, we added lyrics. There are a lot of words. Hope you enjoy it. Maybe subscribe to my YouTube channel?
