It's been a long time, we shouldn't have left you, without a dope beat to step to :) 13 September 2008 at 06:11 PM EDT by Brenden

Ahhh yes. We're back. Kind of! It's been a while but most of you know that's because of In Search Of Arcadia (Albion's 'sister' blog)... the constant need for me to keep pumping out fresh content there keeps me busy... but it does get you guys songs before anyone else. Wiley? Frankmusik? Bloc Party? Portishead? Who had them all first? Us! In fact as we speak there is an exclusive track from electro-rockers South Central over there just for you guys! But it's kept me from updating this site.

It's you guys the fans that keep us running and make this thing bigger and bigger. The concerts, and the interviews with my idols, and the festivals, and the pre-releases don't just come from our hard work... they come from you guys caring and the labels recognizing that. So, seriously, thank you!

We'll try to keep updating this as much as we can... I know we wanted to get the songs Dave (and I) sang up asap so be on the lookout for those!

Speaking of fresh material... here's a live video for out buddy FrankMusik's song "Run From Trouble". Watch out for his new EP in October on Island Records. Also cop free tunes in the meantime from The Heaths Of Thornton.

No luddites allowed 13 September 2008 at 05:01 PM EDT by Charles

Since the demise of the WIDR web stream, Brenden and I have been left wondering how to let people listen to our show. Turns out, the staff at WIDR, Western Michigan University, and Apple's iTunes U have solved our problem!

Check out our weekly Spirt of Albion podcast (well, semi-weekly right now, but that should be fixed in the future).

Your weekly dose of us is now available in iPod-sized chunks.
