Just a short note to let you know that the brand new 10-song ep, Every Little Thing Counts, by Colin Clary is now available from WeePOP! – London’s cutest record label!

Every Little Thing Counts is essentially Colin’s follow up to his 2 albums (Apocalypse Yow! and Sweater Weather or Not, These are the Songs I Got) for the now defunct Asaurus label. Picking up where those two left off, the new ep finds Colin feeling at turns thoughtful and whimsical in equal measure, delivering song after song packed with harmony and optimism in the gentle home-recorded style we’ve come…

Hi there! I'm just giving y'all the head's up that my friend (and frequent collaborator) Steve Williams has a new album out today! He's the brains behind the rock band My First Days on Junk (he let's me participate quite a bit, too). The album is titled No Order and it's available from State Capital records and all sorts of places online. Feel free to file under shoegaze/fuzzrock/distortion…

I'm not sure how many folks are familiar with Steve Williams (since he keeps a pretty low profile),…

Look out! Here we come!

Here’s a list of all the dates we'll be in the UK! We have 11 Smittens shows, 1 Let’s Whisper show, and 2 Colin Clary Shows! I’m gonna be around for an extra day at the end – Saturday, the 2nd of August – with no plans as of yet, but if I find an extra show, I’ll be sure to let you know – I’m flying home on Sunday August 3rd from London, so most likely I’ll be in London on the 2nd (unless anyone has a better idea!)!

Rock and roll and be…

i guess the main purpose for this post is to let you know where you can hear a few songs from the forthcoming smittens album, The Coolest Thing About Love -so here's what i know - david posted a couple tracks on our myspace and face book pages - and we have a song on the new indietracks comp from make do and mend records. so if you are looking for them, feel free to check there - i definitely included links in the news update at www.smittens.com

what else - I love the band five thirty - just because…

I was wishing there was a way to connect a bunch of the things I've worked on on the same page and I think the best I can come up with is to make a tag called colin clary bands. I'll try to tag everything I've participated in with that one so I can amuse myself with the variety of songs that pop up!

I don't know if this is journal-worthy, but I figured since I was here, I'd post something.

I can't wait for next month - the smittens and let's whisper both have new releases coming out and…

yesterday was a pretty fun day - Stasia and i went for a stroll to buy a half dozen fresh bagels and we also got some smoked salmon and olive/caper spread and garlic cream cheese - and then we made coffee and watched "wristcutters - a love story" which was sweet and funny and i didn't know there we eugene hutz songs on the soundtrack! nice work!

after that I had to go to the fairgrounds - they were having a junior iron chef competition featuring local-grown produce and lots of young people cooking - the smittens had been asked…
