Up the Tree

Show is in the can. Still need to edit it tonight, but it’s a St. Pattys day special full of fun music. Not the normal TUTT stuff, but fun all the same.

We will also be debuting a new site that will look suspiciously like this site, except we a moving over to tumblr as our weblog engine. Over the last few weeks I’ve started up a secret weblog on the system and I have to say, it beat everything on the market. Biggest drawback, no podcast support :(

Hence the separation of the weblog from TUTT.

All in all, I think you will be pleased.

Hey I’m not one to buy crappy posters of bands to put up on my walls, but I think you’ll admit that these posters are really gorgeous and for the price a really good deal. Plus who doesn’t love a little Wilco action?

And for the record I just bought $70 worth of these things and I’m not getting any commission or anything. I just love you all. 

So let’s get down to brass tacks shall we? Up The Tree is going to loose the Tracks Up The Tree podcast. Hold on, hold on, before you start cursing at me let me explain. Up The Tree was never supposed to be the Tracks Up The Tree podcast page. That was supposed to be tracks.upthetree.com then later, due to Josiah’s insistent mistakes, tracksupthetree.com. I really want to write in my weblog and it’s become the posting area for all grumbles on my not recording podcasts… and rightly so. It’s been tough, but we are still here and we’re still recording.

And as much as I hate to admit it, I still love doing the show, so it ain’t going anywhere soon. We have a new show planned and are working on a recording schedule.

But as for Up The Tree, it’s going to return to a bit more self referential material with a bit less music focus. I’m still going to write about music, but in the more abstract sense, Up The Tree no longer reflects all my interests and therefore I don’t write on it near enough– or at all for that matter.

“It’s not you, it’s me.”

So shortly you will see the two sides of this website be ripped apart and take on their own lives as separate entities. We hope this makes us write more. We hope you still love us.

I am two days away from releasing the next TUTT, so as a peace offering - how about a fresh YouTube video of me? I know it’s not a TUTT, but it’s in addition to TUTT.

I’m working out a sound issue with a new episode, but in a few days you have an hour long TUTT. Normally I wouldn’t warn you in advance, but this editing is pissing me off and I wanted to let you all know there is a present coming for you soon.
