50 Foot Wave’s first official bootleg was released earlier this week. Recorded in Seattle at the Crocodile Café on 22 April 2004. It’s downloadable from the Throwing Music store: http://www.throwingmusic.com/catalog. There are 14 live tracks and full CD art (CD label and a variety of inserts to choose from) for $10. As per the 1st Mini Album, Bug, the artwork was design by Throwing Muses drummer David Narcizo, who now runs his own graphic design company.

There’s also news on the 2nd Mini Album, slated for release by end of January 2005:

Unofficially named Pneuma (that’s what Kristin calls it, but it’s not got an official name yet). The track listing, but not running order, is:

• Golden Ocean
• Ginger Park
• Bone China
• Sally is a Girl
• Petal
• In the Air (aka Pneuma)

Nice to see that Petal is in there. It’s a monster! The sessions for this release also recorded El Dorado, Diving and a version of Your Ghost (originally released on Kristin’s first solo album Hips and Makers).

BTW, for those who didn’t want to jump through hoops for the video to Clara Bow when I mentioned it some time ago, it’s now more easily accessible here (17.7 MBytes).
