CMJ Week/Casiotone For The Painfully Alone – Ice Cream Truck (Live)

Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, the one-man band of Owen Ashworth, has long been a TSOI favorite. Owen and his battery of keyboards and tape loops have been quietly releasing a string of the best albums of the decade.

TSOI has gathered intel from high-ranking CTFTPA sources that a new singles album will be out in February and a new album of new material to follow in March.

As usual the show was put on by Todd P in a lawless DIY fashion in a where unfettered indoor smoking is condoned and Busch Beer is sold out of coolers. Good times.

I saw Jason perform three times, in 2004 (Charlottesville), 2006 (Baton Rouge), and 2007 (New Orleans). I spoke with him on two of those occasions. (More...)

In March of 2012 Stephen Merrit released the best Magnetic Fields album since 2004's i. The album features songs with classic Stephin Merritt charm and benefits from vast improvements in production over recent releases.
