CANASTA - Track 7, "Shortcut" + Madison w/ Clem Snide (Sat. 5/14)

(sent on 2010-04-11)

Fancy seeing you here...

HEAR TRACK 7, "SHORTCUT"
It's time for one of the album's prettier moments. It's called "Shortcut" and now that you've finished (almost finished?) your taxes, we think you've earned it. So sit back, relax and let the gentle shuffle of the egg shaker sweep your cares aside (but don't get too comfortable... you're gonna wanna play some air drums once the bridge hits). Stream it at any of the following links...

FRI. 5/14: MADISON W/ CLEM SNIDE... CROSS ANOTHER ONE OFF THE LIST!
It's a little-known fact that Canasta has long had a checklist of things the band hopes to accomplish. A surprisingly large number of them have already been achieved (headlined Metro, played the Riv, got airplay on NPR, soundtracked a movie trailer, met the president, etc.) But there's also a shortlist of musicians... artists who have in some way or another contributed to the creation of this band and its sound. And one by one, we intend to meet and play with each of them. Some still seem pretty unlikely (Portishead, anyone?), but a good chunk have actually been checked off, including Wilco, Sloan, The Delgados, Jeremy Enigk, Imperial Teen and Elf Power. And soon... Clem Snide! We'll be opening for them in Madison on Friday, 5/14, at The Frequency. Listen to their brilliant second album, Your Favorite Music, and tell me you don't hear echoes of "Just a Star." It would be nice to share the exciting moment with some of you (followed, of course, by a slice at Ian's). More details below. See ya there?
