Ghosts and Vodka Reunion already dead?
In a series of mysterious posts to their twitter account, we are left wondering if the Ghosts and Vodka reunion was DOA? Then we got more news from their myspace page.
Here are the last three posts:
- # Dead.about 13 hours ago from web
- # Outlook is grim… I’ve got binoculars and can’t see shit up ahead.5:54 PM Oct 22nd from web
- # No practice again… If we actually have a set together by the show it will be miraculous.9:54 AM Oct 17th from Twitterrific
From their myspace page:
“We’re calling it a day.
It was worth a shot, but we have sort of felt like we’ve been pushing a boulder up a hill. We’ve all got a lot going on in our lives right now and it’s just gotten too difficult to pull it together. We aren’t ruling out the prospect of trying again in the future, but as of right now… this ship is sunk.
Thanks so much for the support and kind words while it lasted.
Please check out our other bands / artistic endeavors if you get the chance.”
Well that was fun while it lasted…………….

Association of Utopian Hologram Swallowers II – Don’t Mind Control
More details to Tim Kinsella’s follow up to the original Utopian Hologram Swallowers are slowly starting to trickle out. The original featured the likes of Owen, Joan of Arc and Make Believe (among others) and from what I can tell from the cryptic picture above, the follow up will include Ghosts and Vodka, Jeremy Boyle, Euphone, Owen and a bunch more. Count me in as being highly excited!
A few quotes from the tumbler:
Tim Kinsella (Joan of Arc) was hard at work over the summer asking old friends and bandmates to record songs for what we at PV have been calling “Association Pt.2” (in reference to this 2×7”).
Tim had a better idea and wants to title it Don’t Mind Control. The album’s still in the beginning stages of production, but expect a limited edition CD and a 2xLP sometime toward the end of January.
New Vampire Weekend “Horchata”

New Walkmen
I had a chance to catch The Walkmen last night when they played at the Mercy Lounge here in Nashville. Opener Here We Go Magic was a snore fest of psych-jam repetitiveness but The Walkmen put on a great show. They played several new songs that were slower but the “more traditional” new songs really rocked. Here is a video of one of the standouts from when they played in Cambridge, MA a few weeks ago.
