An Enchanting Album

Greetings, Friends!

Blue Skies Forever is pleased to announce the official release of our friend Tim Seely's album, Funeral Music. Tim performed in the KEXP studio last Saturday; you can hear his performance here. Go to "Listen by time" select Saturday, July 9th for the date, and 6:00 PM for the time. You'll hear the last 15 seconds or so of some song before Tim comes on.

Of course, we have had an advance copy of Funeral Music for some time, its cover featuring personalized artwork by Tim himself. We can vouch for the album's quality and for the quality of the man who, in his own words, keeps "churning out the hits." However, if you'd rather take the word of a more impartial observer, a person of great learning and impeccable taste, in whose shadow we dwell and to whose beaconing light we are drawn (all of us except perhaps Shiri), we give you the opinion of our poet laureate, Science Man:

Science Man's doppelganger, John Bolton

"Your friend Tim's song, Trucker's Lullaby, while sad, is a thing of great beauty--a spark, a glow--and has helped me through the winter."
Science Man, 20 February 2005

Over One Month Later, The World Still Spins

Greetings, Friends!

Indeed, much time has passed since our last post--a blue skies forever record 43 days! To those loyal readers who have remained loyal despite our prolonged dereliction, we offer our heartfelt thanks.

Indeed, we might still be derelict had it not been for the angry complaints of one of our most devout readers, the famous Das Booty vocalist Nick.

While we would like to thank him with a tribute, we feel our skills, a little dull from disuse, are not up to the task. Words having failed ourself, or perhaps ourself having failed words, we turn to their thousandfold friend and sometime competitor, the picture.
