August 14, 2015 (Friday) - Most grateful are we for this article and interview appearing in the esteemed CMJ featuring Thayer Sarrano and her new song "Touch My Face." We wish to express our sincere thanks to author Eric Davidson, for taking the time, and making the space in their highly regarded pages, to tell tale of her forthcoming album -- Shaky -- due out two weeks from this very day. After a busy week, we expected a Friday slow on the news, rinse, and spin cycle. We were thus pleasantly unprepared for such good tidings. Thank you.   

August 14, 2015 (Friday) - The band Cracker is currently making a dash along the northeastern seaboard, another leg on a tour stretching from winter, spring, summer, and back to fall, culminating at the end of this month with Campout Featuring Camper Van Beethoven & Cracker. Today, Friday, they take to the Volksplatz Stage in Bethlehem, PA. Tomorrow, Saturday, Thayer Sarrano will open the show in Woodstock with her own set, and then join Cracker (as before) for theirs, playing keys of ebony and ivory. Denizens far and wide should make their way to the Bearsville Theater Woodstock, NY.   

August 14, 2015 (Friday) - The DJs of CHIRP - Chicago Independent Radio Project took "Crease" for another spin yesterday, a cut from Thayer Sarrano, off her forthcoming LP -- Shaky -- due out August 28, 2015. Considerable thanks to Gillian J, DJ Stevo, and Eugene Cabanban. Gillian J situated "Crease" on a playlist that also featured "Waka" from Camper Van Beethoven, helping us prepare, no doubt, for the upcoming Campout Featuring Camper Van Beethoven & Cracker. DJ Stevo played Thayer's track near "Watermelon Man," a classic by the mighty Herbie Hancock, an icon whose many albums (too many to recount) are revered here on our desk. (DJ Stevo was also bold enough to bring out Thayer's "Aim" just a few seconds ago, making us scramble to update this post, as yet unpublished, in real-time!) Eugene Cabanban featured "Crease" not far away from "Soft as Snow (But Warm Inside)" from My Bloody Valentine, and "Shimmy Shimmy Ya" from the late Ol' Dirty Bastard of the Wu-Tang Clan. We actually prefer ODB's "Brooklyn Zoo," and My Bloody Valentine's "Only Shallow." But our preferences are of little consequence.   

August 13, 2015 (Thursday) - Indie Minded shines a welcomed light upon "Touch My Face," the latest cut from the forthcoming album -- Shaky -- by Thayer Sarrano. We owe gratitude to Kelly Murphy for enlightening the masses. Indie Minded maintains a footprint in both Boston and the UK. Coincidence is (or is it?) Cracker finds itself performing on the shorelines of Bean Town this very day. We would be remiss, then, not to highlight such a fact. Bostonians! What could be better than world-class music in a harbor setting? The Gentlemen (David, Johnny, Bryan, Pistol, Carlton) and the Lady (Thayer Sarrano) of Cracker will astound.   

August 13, 2015 (Thursday) - Thank you -- Bucketful of Nails -- for taking up pen on behalf of a newly unveiled track from Thayer Sarrano. In evocation of her roots in coastal southern Georgia, the author portrays the artist as "a siren of the cypress swamp." The new cut itself -- "Touch My Face" -- is said to conjure up "the mystical side of Stevie Nicks" with "overdriven guitars." Quite nice! The new album -- Shaky -- is scheduled for official release August 28, 2015.   

August 12, 2015 (Wednesday) - A Special Bulletin from The Guildwater Group. We sincerely wish to thank Chris Spector of the Midwest Record for writing about the music of Five Fingertips. Regarding the eponymous new album, we quote: "Well produced indie pop or those looking for new sounds for dorm hallways as the new school year approaches." This is the first appearance of Five Fingertips in print media.
