Hard News by Russell Brown

Oooo a Jakob tour - I checked them out a while ago after a mention either here or from Amplifier or Flying Out, and loved what I heard. Here's hoping they have actual CDs and things for sale, because I'm pretty much still a physical artifact kind of guy. I'm even enjoying the vinyl renaissance (while quietly ignoring the second life cassettes seem to be having - anyone who's buying cassettes nowadays never bought them back in the day, had them jam in a car deck, had them randomly stretch, had them snap, or just twist so you had to dismantle the cassette to untwist them - nah, not going there again)

If anything says 'Jakob' it's a Soundcloud waveform that looks like that.

While you are in there don't forget all The L.E.D.s back catalogue is now available at Flying Out, too!

as well as Range's excellent Henry Rivers album...
Excellent to see in last week's SST that Grant Smithies liked it too.

Did we see Get Up, Stand Up?

I managed to get physical artifacts of all of those – I work with an ex-L.E.D. :D Edit: except for Dunes, which is digital-only :sadface:
