A recent press release from our friends Gunnelpumpers provides the following intriguing pieces of information:
- Recent studies have indicated that reading comprehension suffers when text contains lots of hyperlinks.
- A leading cause of beaver deaths is falling trees.
- Copies of Gunnelpumpers debut CD “the nth wave” are still available for only $10.
- If you see Doug Johnson around, chances are extremely high that he’ll have a few copies nearby.
- One can also order the physical CD from CD Baby,
- or digitally download the music from CD Baby, iTunes, eMusic, and many other online purveyors of sonic goodness.
- If you have the CD and like it, please take a few minutes to “review” it on one of the aforementioned sites.
- There’s word on the street that Gunnelpumpers second album “Symphonie Improvisé” will be released this December or January.
- Joan Levergood recently created a video of Gunnelpumpers “The Memory of Trees” from their July show at Martyrs’.
- An album by Enya of the same title was a HUGE success in 1995.
- For Gunnelpumpers, then name was chosen while looking through a book of Celtic mythology for a good song title as a result of certain “bagpipey” influences in the music.
- “The Memory of Trees” rolls of the tongue better than “The Face-Chains of Ogmios”.
- Joan merged shots from two cameras and a separate sound recording. Synchronizing these things is a real tricky business.
- The video is up on youtube.
- Gunnelpumpers have a couple of shows to announce:
- October 19 at Elbo Room. Music goes from 8-12. Gunnelpumpers plays one set at 9:00 p.m. $7.
- December 3 at Heartland Cafe. Details forthcoming.
- We have no word on how multiple, nested unordered lists affects reading comprehension on the web.
