TCJ 3.2 is Available
TCJ 3.2 is complete and has been emailed to subscribers. As usual, it can also be found by clicking the TCJ Zine Archive link found to the right.
The focus of the mix this month was on new music. There is some really good stuff on there, including songs from Ryan Adams, Lightspeed Champion, Tift Merritt, Kathleen Edwards, Radiohead, They Might Be Giants, and many more. There is also a song by Wreckless Eric that is actually 30 years old, but was on the Stranger Than Fiction soundtrack, so I bent the "2 years old or less" rule this time around. The crazy thing is, with so much new music so much more available, I already have enough songs for the next "new music" mix, which isn't scheduled until June. Oy vey.
As usual, if you didn't get the CD, get a gmail acct and email me and we'll get you hooked up.
Enjoy!

TCJ 3.2
The March edition of TallCuppaJoe is almost in the can. The newsletter is essentially complete, I'm just waiting for Kathleen Edwards' album to come out on Tuesday (Mar. 4) to complete the mix. After that it will go to my crack proofreading/editing crew for a layer of polish and be on its way to you.
This mix is of new music, something I do about 4 times a year. This time around I've clustered songs together based on commonalities between the bands, songs, titles, or lyrics. It's not nearly as devoted to connectivity as TCJ 2.1 was, but you'll definitely notice it.
So look for the new issue in your email inbox late next week or early the week after. And buy Tift Merritt's latest, Another Country. It's not a "country" album, and is pretty darn good. I'm including one of hers on this next mix to give you a taste. Good stuff.

TCJ Newsletter
Soon this will be the online home of the TCJ (kinda) monthly newsletter.
In an effort to be more environmentally and financially responsible, most of the distribution of the newsletter will take place electronically. In order to accomplish this, I recommend that you obtain a Gmail or similar type account. Why Gmail? Because they allow attachments up to 20 MB and they provide ~6 GB of free storage. This will allow you to receive the files for the newsletter without crashing your email.
Of course, if you have a slow internet connection, it will still be quicker for me to mail it to you than for you to download.
So stay tuned. More in this space soon.
