yes and yes! and new and improved, edited, remixed, remastered and re-released.

and if you can spot the three differences from the original song you could win first prize!

press play button to listen. available at amazon, and coming soon to itunes and other download stores.

you’re kind enough to visit here from time to time and lately – well – it’s just been the same old, same old. no new guffaws, no fresh chortles of surprise, no recurring roll of bemused eyes.

my excuse is that i’m working on the increasingly time-and-cost-sucking big stuff – radio distribution, videos, perhaps an annual nude-with-goats festival in the caribbean…

but i will try to do better, i promise. which reminds me.

it’s called mousing, but you use hamsters, so why not call it hamstering? or, as in the case of our fine family of elephants, capybaring?

but i digress.

below is some of the artwork for cds that are being distributed to radio stations, etc.

because it’s been remixed and remastered, ‘barbarian’ has undergone a small name change and is being re-released. i’ll post links to the new version when i have them.

in the meantime, happy new year. and let’s have a great decade.

who needs words? our pan-national anthem. please press play button and/or acquire at itunes, amazon, and many other online music stores.

update: here’s the song at jango.com.

and if perhaps you are a musician, or in the industry, may i humbly suggest that we all begin rolling back the blight that is gross over-compression in the mastering of popular music. being as loud or louder as the next guy on radio – or wherever – is destroying what should be about the beauty and spectrum of sound, not just volume. want it loud?… all we have to do is turn it up. and lay off the squeezing.

as of solstice, monkeyhowl became one year young. thanks for coming, thanks for being here. and please do not view if prone to seizures.
