No shows anytime soon, of course. Or recordings. But here's an article in National Geographic about the World Series of Birding -- the birdiest Swirlie is on Team Bristlehead.

Hey all -- a friend and contributor (Dave Merson Hess of The Starry Tides) asked that we post the following message about a comp he is putting together. We're honored! FYI - you can visit our discography page...the original tracks reside there for your use, abuse, deconstruction, and grand improvements.
NB: We don't have anything to do with this comp, of course, but will certainly enjoy hearing the fruits of his/your labor.

Damon and Mew (our kind hosts) mewl together in Denmewl in Jumewly 2007 - exciting voice-over!
A young man from Mexico seems to have intuited Damon's craven intentions with Mew, and wrote the following in response to the video above:
"I really dont like that Damon gay at all... im not agree... he is not from mew... i don`t want to hear to him... and i don`t like that he are participaiting with the ideas... i think that they can do it. by themselves... damn"
Brilliant!
This might to be a good opportunity to post an old collaborative piece between Damon (in his other form, The Yes Girls) & some of the Mew gentlemen:
But warning -- it contains no other Mew, Mew fans.

'just birds and words--that's all you guys are anymore'
someone wrote this to us recently, triggering this bi-annual correspondence. sure -- so there was some kind of internal 'shows w/ no age in february' rumor happening for a little while there...adam being manny? who can say. so there's jorge elbrecht's cover nights someplace in manhattan where rob occasionally appears with his piercing guitar daggers. damon is lately hell-bent on transferring a videotape of our first show (allston mall w/ the cheater slicks on 25 jan 1991) to a digital format. it's currently in the hands of the famed u.s. postal service, but to what end this transference? mired in some secret drive forever? perhaps the next strop? only he knows. and if you need someone to survey your woodlot, then just fix your fucken drumsticks, dick.
All of our old releases (minus 'Cats of The Wild Volume Two', which is still fairly available from Bubblecore) are still up on our discography page for the proscribed period. As 128 kbps-encoded mp3s, for all of you who can tolerate that.

Montreal residents Wassili Dudan and Sylvie Peguiron have completed their film 'Il Faut Tuer Willy' -- features a song by the Mud & Lace Sedentary Marchers (Richmond County Archives 005). Wassili was kind enough to send us a delightful description of his cat (the one that groans like a bee) long ago.

Something on the brain for 2007 -- a show in Mexico D.F. w/ Lavender Diamond, Lilys, and Swirlies? Spring mini-tour? We shall see.
