Good people of the Internet,



cmo024 Joel R.L. Phelps "Warm Springs Night" Digital Download

Out now!

Comedy Minus One is delighted that November 6th, 2012 was more than just Election Day around these parts.

The first Tuesday of the year's penultimate month was also the date of the digital reissue for Joel R.L. Phelps' phenomenal first solo record "Warm Springs Night."

Engineered on June 3rd and 4th, 1995 by James Hale at House Of Leisure in Seattle and originally released by El Recordo later that year, this record had not been available through proper channels with any ease in well over a decade.

We give you our permission to download "Warm Springs Night" from iTunes, eMusic, Rhapsody or Amazon (among others).

Joel was kind enough to write up some recollections about his debut, which can be found here.

You should really join the Joel R.L. Phelps & The Downer Trio group on Facebook if you haven't already.

"The notes he strikes resonate like vibrating wires. It's almost otherworldly at times, like the sound of an old Appalachian singer. Surrounding him, the Downer Trio creates gorgeous tapestries of sound that tug and slacken, following the singer and pushing at the songs." - All Music Guide



cmo023 Edsel "Techniques of Speed Hypnosis" Digital Download

Out now!

Comedy Minus One's Edsel reissue project continues with the re-release of the group's fourth and final full album, "Techniques of Speed Hypnosis." Long out of print, this record (like "The Everlasting Belt Co." and "Detroit Folly" preceding it) was remastered by Joe Lambert at JLM Sound and is accessible through all of your favorite digital providers including iTunes, eMusic, Rhapsody and Amazon on down.

Once again we asked the members of Edsel to write up a lengthy essay to provide you with more information, from the history of the recording to the stories behind some of these specific songs. They supplement these with vintage photographs, show flyers, a fan-made video and streaming audio.

You should also read DCist's Secret History of "Techniques of Speed Hypnosis," which they called "a sprawling, chiming, charging beauty, bursting with inventive sonic slights-of-hand, balancing snarling six-string assaults with impossible-to-ignore melodies."


The Karl Hendricks Trio plays WFMU *and* Philadelphia tomorrow!

Prior to their show in Philadelphia on Saturday, November 10th at Milkboy with Lefty's Deceiver and JJL, The Karl Hendricks Trio will join DJ Terre T. at WFMU for a live session on her great program The Cherry Blossom Clinic.

Tune in at 91.1 fm or online using this link between to 3:00 pm ET and 6:00 pm ET to catch the set.

I'm confident the band will be playing songs off their most recent full-length "The Adult Section," which you can still order here.

"The Adult Section" is also available now via iTunes, eMusic, Amazon and other fine digital providers.

Our friends at WFMU have been going through a terrible time since Hurricane Sandy and lost a considerable amount of money due to the one-two punch of station damage and the cancellation of their annual Record Fair. I hope you'll strongly consider making a donation to the station's emergency Hell & High Water fundraiser.



That's it for this month. Members of the press, music writers and radio types are always encouraged to get in touch for interview requests and digital promos.

Comedy Minus One has a Facebook page and a Twitter handle for those of you who dig such things. More frequent bursts of news can be found there or on the Comedy Minus One blog.

As some of you have discovered, Comedy Minus One Soundcloud and Epitonic pages exist.

Stores and distributors are welcome to contact us about stocking these titles. Comedy Minus One is distributed directly through Carrot Top, Matador Direct and Revolver.

Thank you.
