Danny Doom’s Booze Cabinet

Thanks to everyone for coming out Friday night!

Love, MaM

I was asked whether the new album comes in compact disc form, and no, it doesn’t. The cd is dying. I honestly had no idea that I would be reading articles about the revival of vinyl when we decided to do this, but it appears that, for once, going with our gut was the right move. Personally, I just really wanted to make a record, to be able to have done it, and play it on my turntable. It really does sound better.

“I could hear the musicians breathing. It felt like I could hear them smoking.”

Buy Milk at Midnight vinyl here (comes with a data disc of 24 bit tracks)!

Of the many great gifts I have received this year, this is one of the best. My baby and I love to listen to records and drink Guinness in this room. Currently spinning: Miles Davis, “‘Round About Midnight“

Milk at Midnight celebrates the unofficial release of “Less Love More Acid” tomorrow night at Quenchers, 2401 N. Western Ave., Chicago, IL! “Unofficial” only because we have a future show planned for the release, but still working out details. Anyway, vinyl copies of “Less Love More Acid” will be available at this show! Digital download information to come, but for now, sharpen your needles and come get a copy!

Oh, Roger Daltrey. You didn’t need to say anything; you already won me over when I was 15. But all this is nice too:

“Let’s just hope to God he wins,” he said. “Let’s be honest, with the standing in the rest of the world of America today, with what George Bush has done to your country, it is inconceivable to me that Americans would vote in another Republican. It would be kind of really, really weird if they win again. You just sometimes wonder, what if, just what if (John) McCain did win. The signals that would send to the rest of the world!”

It is inconceivable, and it isn’t going to happen. But I understand his concern. The track record speaks for itself these past 8 years.

And of course, this wasn’t necessary either, but it is great to hear Roger speaking of vinyl so lovingly:

“It wasn’t just music that people used to buy, it was a total art form. … I think that’s what people like. They like it personal. They like vinyl because if you scratch vinyl, it’ll be scratched, but it’ll be your scratch. It will only be on your record.”

We’ve been working on the artwork for our record for some time now. It’s not just like putting out a cd with a tiny cover and all that! I think it’s gonna look great, and I can’t wait. I also cannot wait to see all of this Who stuff that is happening this week. The word on the street is that Pearl Jam stole the show with a couple of Quadrophenia songs, but we’ll see. I saw an AP report that said The Who played songs such as “Teenage Wasteland.” Ummmm, it’s called “Baba O’Riley,” OK? Sheesh! Come on!

Do you own a turntable? Does it work? Well, you should get one, or get it fixed! Listened to the test pressing of our new record (album! vinyl!) last night and it sounds great, the way it should be, the way it was meant to be. Yeah, we’ll have digital downloads too, but I’m just sayin’…all that talk about warmth–it’s true. It’s true!

“Less Love More Acid” should be out sometime before the eagle has crashed into the mountain. Stay tuned…
