David has included 2007’s Cold Beer and Cigarettes on the upcoming Net Neutrality album “Rock the Net“, not to be confused with MTV’s ineffectual Rock the Vote. If this journalist might speak on a personal level for a moment - I’m extremely excited to see Bazan stand behind Net Neutrality in a meaningful way. If Cold Beer and Cigarettes don’t win over public opinion on Internet regulation, I personally don’t know what can.

Even The Wrens are coming out of hibernation for this comp.

Right on… right on… riiight on.

Months ago, the Seattle Weekly posted a live track of David Bazan performing Dylan’s Oh Sister at the “Unscrew The Crocodile Employees” benefit show. It’s undyingly faithful to the original piece and somehow, yet unsurprisingly, Bazan plays the most woeful drums you’ll ever cry into a glass of Alabama whiskey.

Click here for the full listen of Oh Sister.

If you didn’t notice the main page www.pedrothelion.org has now become a blog. It is still very incomplete and under construction. You will start to see some changes and updates in the near future.

One of the updates will be some pretty sweet media/bootlegs

So, to start things off, here is a really nice sounding SBD (many of you old school kids will have this already, sorry)

2000.03.18-Crocodile Cafe, Seattle, WA

this list of shows will slowly increase in the near future

ENJOY!
