I was just doing a routine check on Michael’s MySpace page, and noticed that the All Indie EP is sold out. Bummer for eveyone that missed it. But the next sentence caught my eye: “A new limited edition signed and numbered record will be released soon!” Not sure if that will be the rumored Losing Angel CD, or something else. But it should be interesteing to see what Mr. Knott is cooking up for us next….

Word has come in that a new Michael Knott album is finished and will be out in a few months. The word is that Losing Angel is now called Even Star. The 2003 Tour Journal made the Losing Angel album sound awesome, so this should be a great release. This news comes from a reliable source, but we all know that things can change due to, well, just about anything. Stay tuned for more specifics as they become official.
Michael has posted a new song on MySpace for listening and download. The song is called “So Far Away,” and the lyrics and explanation can be found in the MySpace blog.

Mike Knott fan Shawn alerted me to some cool YouTube videos of a Knott show in Florida a few months ago. Mike played with a Jazz band for some of the songs. I think that now means there are only 3 styles of music Mike has not played: death metal, rap, and Bollywood (but I’m still hoping for a Mike Knott duet with Ravi Shakar some day). If anyone can get me a copy of this show, I would love that! The show is now in the videos section.
(unfortunately these videos were removed from YouTube)
Some of the songs from L.S.U.’s legendary 1993 Cornerstone show have been posted on YouTube. Also, a solo acoustic set from 2000 is on YouTube. Both of these have been added to the video page. Both sets of video were uploaded by Brad (a.k.a. thecannyshark).
In addition to all that, a “video” that has “Want Me” by Michael Moret playing in the background, with a scan of the cover for the “video,” has been added to the random videos. Thanks to Shawn for the heads up on the Moret “video.”
