STOP THE PRESSES!!!

Not only am I posting up w/ something NOT related to comic books or movies about comic books or toys from movies about comic books...but it's an actual music post concerning one of the greatest indie bands EVER!

I had a bunch of posts about San Francisco's Beulah a few years back, mostly revolving around the excellent flick ('A Good Band is Easy to Kill') documenting their 2003 tour in support of what would be their final album and, really, their final ride off into the sunset. Again, worth checking out if you haven't before.

Since then, things had been extremely quiet on the Beulah front until yesterday, when frontman Miles Kurosky appeared out of nowhere w/ a Myspace page and a track from his long-awaited solo disc titled 'An Apple for an Apple'. Said album has been jokingly referred to as kind of an indie 'Chinese Democracy' due to a string of health complications, but it seems it's being mixed and we may actually see this thing sometime this year (fingers crossed)!

Until then, you can take a listen HERE and see what you think. Personally, I like it so much that i'd let it get to (at least) third base w/ me...and tell it's friends about it. I'll also plead that if you've never done so before, that you check out he collected work of Mr. Kurosky's former band, Beulah, post haste. Their albums are all availble on iTunes and i'm also throwing up a snack in the sample area as well.

Thanks again to my man, Charles, for the heads up!
