POP SPOT LIGHT Brief, but significant, is the news: Popular Photography magazine has turned the spotlight on the "Annaliisa" from the tape transfer series for their March 2012 issue. Click the image above to read the article, which contains all the important secrets for making your own tape transfer.
 RORSHAK POP VIDEO AND ALBUM RELEASED Last month, the video for "We Should Be Together" was hatched upon the interwebs as a spearhead for my rock record, The Gospel Cigar. It took a lot of time and money to make, and involved some very talented friends whose names are in the credits of the video above. Perhaps this record is the result of having too much disposable time, and explains why many small countries employ their youth in the civil service, but for anyone reading this who plays music or makes art, you already know: to be content is constantly be creating. The record contains a spaghetti western tune "Feathers", an anthemic drunken pirate love song suited for a voyage to the edge of a flat earth in "What Could Be Better Than Loving You?" as well as the ultra-dramatic rock tunes "The Year I Got Everything I Wanted" and "Fingers and Toes". Everytime there's a finale on the album that seems like it couldn't be out done, just think again! The main issue with this kind of music is that when it sounds like a good point to smash the guitars and throw the drumset upside down, one must be tempered, because there are still another handful of equally epic tunes that will require the use of those very same guitars and drums! If you'd like to keep tabs on the Rory Rorshak musical front, fan the page here, get tweets here, or join the mailing list here. And of course, all of this is rooted at the mothership page: roryrorshak.com. The Gospel Cigar makes for great workout music and goes well with a ride on the Audubon. Make it yours from iTunes (includes the live album with 27 songs at 9.99!) or Bandcamp (studio album only at 7.99).
 PROPS A special thanks belongs to Cory Basil and Frothy Monkey Coffee House for letting me hang the RORSHAK Tape Transfer series, as well as other goodies like the one above of the Branded Sons (3 feet wide!), on their walls for the last two months. View the tape series here. Its looking for a new place to hang out.
May you enjoy the new record played by the boys pictured above, and may your March be full of good things!
Rory
