Ram On LA-Tribute to Paul McCartney, Covers-Album cover right

Out Monday, free.....

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Aquarium Drunkard and Autumn Tone Records announce

Ram on L.A., a cover-compilation featuring 11 of L.A.’s favorite bands – digitally available on Monday, March 2nd

“Los Angeles: huge, sprawling, and eclectic, has been likened to microcosm of the country as whole -- truly a melting pot of various cultures, ethnicities, tastes and influences. So is her music. With various scenes and sub-scenes, rarely has there been a defining "sound" that marks the overall zeitgeist of what is happening in the city at any one time. In 2008 I set out to create a compilation of a dozen or so L.A. based artists that I felt were creating something both unique and diverse. After some thought I decided that there needed to be a running theme, something to tie the artists together into a cohesive whole, a common bond.

 As records tend to do, a revisited appreciation of Paul McCartney's 1971 solo album, RAM, had begun to see a resurgence of sorts within a number of local Eastside artists, coming up in conversations and on the turntables of various house parties.

The theme was found Over the course of the second half of 2008 eleven Angeleno artists individually went in to various studios, rehearsal spaces and apartments to record their take on what is my favorite, and arguably, McCartney's best solo work.... the end result is RAM On L.A.”

Electric Arguments Deluxe set-late

What in the world? Last night, I had posted on Macca's webby, asking about my Electric Arguments Deluxe box set, I ordered last Nov.

One of the mods informed me another webby claimed the Deluxe sets were going to be made available in mid-April? Say Whaa? Ok than, why were we not informed and shown some love via email on the delay?

It was also stated that the new Deluxe Electric Arguments sets would have a few more goodies added to those who purchased em?

Don't know if that is true or not? I just think it a bit odd we were not informed. Now, this is taking an entire 5 mos. to receive my Macca music? lmao!
