the holidays
OK so this band isn't the greatest but I'm going through a nostalgic phase. I'm looking for a band called the holidays. They were on broken records and had an album out in 1988. Help is appreciated.

- Is this for listening pleasure or do you plan to do something with it musically?
That is probably my favorite LSU ablum and Bye, Bye Color is one of my all time favorite songs. -

- Do you want CD or LP? I have the reissue on CD and an original on Vinyl. I would be willing to trade if you are interested. npullaratnorthwestel.net

- Sweet monkeys. That's awesome you are a Knott fan, Marc! I'm actually the webmaster for Michael at michaelknott.com (although there hasn't been much going on with him musically for the past 2 or 3 years...I did the site for him as a favor about 5 years ago). I'm sure he wouldn't mind you just getting a copy being a fellow musical genius and all. I have the CD in MP3 format if "Anonymous" and you don't work out a trade. The song "Shaded Pain" is simply mesmerizing...one of Michael's best songs. He was doing real estate work last time we talked last Fall.

Anonymous hasn't gotten back to me yet. I'm probably going to have to buy it off ebay but just to be safe you can contact me through the .com site and let's talk about "sharing" the music.

- You can go to www.bullypulpitrecordco.com and check their store. They had it last I knew.

- A friend of mine is Michael's tour manager, and a couple of years ago when they stayed here in Toronto, Michael did an impromtu acoustic concert in our backyard. He is quite literally a genius, and there is no one else quite like him. Anyone who has met him will know what I mean...

HAMMOCK SIGNS WITH DARLA
Hello, friends.
We just wanted to let you all know that Hammock has recently signed a deal with Darla Records, the San Diego-based label that will be releasing four records from our hero Robin Guthrie (Cocteau Twins), released the first recordings of My Morning Jacket and has worked with other artists like Japancakes, Windy and Carl, I Am Robot and Proud and Manual. A partnership with Darla just feels like a great fit and we're extremely excited about it. We expect to release "Raising Your Voice...Trying to Stop an Echo" this Fall. There's still a lot of work to do, but we're hoping to get the record out in mid-late October. As always, thanks for listening.
Lost in Space,
Marc

Was it just me, or did hammockmusic.net die for a few days last week?
Oh, Marc, I heard you had a writing session a few weeks ago with one my of other favorite artists, Andrew Osenga... :) - Hammock Music said...

Yep it was down for a few days. The problem was on our side and yes I did write with Andy the other day. One of the nicest and most talented guys I know.

Sing For Us Tomorrow

1. Raising Your Voice...
Trying to Stop an Echo

2. The Sleep Over Series Volume 1
The Sleepover Series Vol. 1 is a record of beatless, ambient, atmospheric soundscapes. It's called Sleepover because it is extremely dreamy and contemplative, consisting mostly of ambient guitar with a few keyboards thrown in. Hammock has one track on the record, but the rest was written, recorded and performed by Marc Byrd.

Chosen by Echoes listeners as a Top 25 release of 2006, named by Echoes as Top 25 Essential CD of 2006, and Echoes CD of the Month for January, 2007
Pick of the week for Filter Magazine and cited as a Top 10 release for 2006
"Raising Your Voice... Trying to Stop an Echo" is a massive artistic statement. A Gravity¹s Rainbow of ambient chamber rock, it defies the iTunization of the world. You want to hear the whole thing, slipping it on, cranking up the volume and riding it into an infinite sunset. A dream guitar masterpiece" --John Diliberto, Host, Echoes
Named #2 in Silent Ballet's Top 50 Instrumental Releases of 2006. "Hammock follows up its debut album with another collection of utterly indescribable and magnificent songs...This is music that seeps deeply into the pores and goes straight for the heart...Brilliant only begins to scratch the surface..." --The Silent Ballet
9/10. This longing, melodic, melancholic, and thoughtful texture that seems to tug at one¹s heartstrings from start to finishÅ It¹s the type of music that hits you in the gut immediately, Nothing about this album is less than Grade A+ material. It's an album that forces one to reflect on both the highs and lows in one¹s life.² ÂPop Matters
Throughout the eighteen tracks there is a glorious stillness to be found, even when the drums turn the album into a shoegazing masterpiece, the guitars throwing lazy shapes (and the occasional shadow) across the tunes Opening track 'I Can Almost See You' is as beautiful as anything you have heard this year, an album that is best appreciated when heard in its entirety, although it can be neatly summarised by listening to 'Floating Away In Every Direction', the title speaks volumes and the music perfectly matches the sentiments, but don¹t take my word for it, go and get your own copy and be transported. ÂSimon Lewis, Terrascope
Waves of glimmering Cocteau Twins-like guitar traverse over barren landscapes, twinkling like nearby constellations. It is at once distant and extremely joyous, a life affirming, yet somehow Zen-like expression of mood and of depthÅ It's a lot to take in, and each minute is profoundly emotive and heartbreaking. Hammock may require patience, but those who possess it will be rewarded in spades.² ÂJeff Terich, Treble Magazine
Hammock's brand of musical expression is honest, patient, meticulous and acknowledging of the warm-blooded nature of its listeners. It stirs the soul like little other music that's out there in this day in age.² ÂLuke Daniel Rush, Sound the Sirens
"The Hammock sound is unique; harsh yet beautiful, and curiously satisfying while still leaving one wanting more. Raising Your Voice is a work of genius by a duo who are pathfinders in guitar based drone ambience. It's essential listening for anyone interested in ambient music." --Dene Bebbington, Melliflua
"Hammock's sad, epic music bathes the listener in multi-tracked electric guitars swimming in a sea of reverb and gentle distortion, sometimes alone, sometimes with piano, cello and/or a steady rock backbeat. It's a somber, fuzzy sound but crucially a melodic one too, with an appeal to both electronic ambient and indie rock listeners." --Ambient Music Guide
"Just when you thought this amazing band could not attain the splendid heights of their previous efforts, they go ahead and release a jaw dropping disc of pure sonic BLISS at the end of 2006! Not since the golden days of Brian Eno has an artist created devastatingly beautiful atmospheres that transport you in a dreamlike state beyond the stars..." --Dark Symphonies "5/5. Gorgeous. Stunning. Sublime! Deserves no distractions or interuptions from barking dogs, people talking and general noise pollution. A candidate for best ethereal rock record of the year." --Kenyon Hopkin, Advance Copy

Thanks for the help. I found something and come to find out, I really don't like this band. Nostalgia got the best of me.
