AHAHB / James Reaney

Hey Hey all,

so last night we had our only full A HORSE AND HIS BOY rehearsal
in what will be 3 months... as I've been very busy with releasing
'Landscapes' and Jeremy has been off to China to work. It was a very
fun rehearsal and today I have new AHAHB songs stuck in my head. The new
material just keeps getting better and better, so look forward to the
new year... new songs, new album?, shows, tour, beards, etc...

Last night we talked about Animal Collective's album 'Strawberry Jam'
which Aaron and I think is better than Merriweather Post Pavilion... although
when I got home, Edward tried to convince me otherwise... regardless, if you
don't own these albums, go pick them up!

We also talked about Menomena's song 'Water'...

be sure to check that out too!

What else, oh, AHAHB left me with huge blisters on my right hand,
so much so that it hurts to type this (a bit). (due to not rehearsing
for some time...)


Today I went into the Free Press with Adam to drop off a copy
of 'Landscapes' to James Reaney... James was as awesome as always.
...he said that 'Landscapes', along with the other Oh! releases this year,
are going to be up for his '10 albums of the year'... very cool.

Other than that, Olenka & The Autumn Lovers should be AWESOME at
Call the Office tonight, and I'm VERY excited for the Sick Friend
CD release on Wednesday with The Whipping Wind! (you should remember Sick Friend from the AHAHB album release in
September...)

SEE YOU THERE!

hope all is well,
love,
-Sam.
