And this one's for the Russell fans

[annathepiper]

It seems that Russell's current band (The Ordinary Fear of God, a.k.a. TOFOG2) now has its very own official MySpace page. Bitchin'. :D Two songs off My Hand, My Heart are listenable there in their entirety: "Testify" and "Raewyn", which IMHO are two of the best ditties off the entire album. "Testify" is a good solid rocker of a piece, and well, I've commented on "Raewyn" before. And the page also has a neat group photo of the band, including the lovely and talented Mr. Doyle, whose influence (I continue to assert) has definitely kicked Russell's sound up a notch.

And damn, I wish I could make that show on the 17th! Sniff. :) If any of the Russell fans on my Friends list get to hit that show, I want to hear about it!

(Hrmm. Clearly I need me a Musical Russell icon...)

ETA 11:46am: This snurched from boxer_ferret: Russell's wife Danielle, who those of you who attended the TOFOG show with me in 2001 may also remember is a singer in her own right, also has a MySpace page up! She's got a new album coming out as well, and I may have to get that, 'cause I did rather like White Monkey.

You are very welcome, and I'm glad to pass the info along! And I'd love to see them head up to the Pacific Northwest again one of these days so I can see them; gigs in California and New York are all well and good, but I can't get myself to those places.

I'm likely to whip up an icon myself if I can find just the exact right Russell picture to use--but this is not to say that if you felt like tossing an icon my way that I'd tell you no! That would be very nice of you. :)
