have recorded a fourth studio LP, a "note-for-note reproduction" of Harry Nilsson's 1974 album "Pussy Cats," famously produced by musician and drinking-buddy John Lennon during his "Lost Weekend" days in Los Angeles. You can listen to the new album here gratis.

Well, the album is a bit spotty in places, as you'd expect from this type of project. But I'm really enjoying "Loop de Loop" right now, because you can tell they were just having a hell of a good time recording it before they closed up their Harlem studio for good. And yeah, NPR broadcast one of their shows from DC not too long ago.

Very cool. I did some digging around and unfortunately can't find a source for buying the original album in mp3 form on the internets. Anyone have a source?

Clicking on certain parts of the page gets you more pictures of the band. I only found that out by accident.

I liked JF*E more. And I just missed The Ignobles. But I've got to say that Ham's high school band was pretty forgettable. Like, I can't even remember what their name was. The streaming link is helpful. I've been listening to "Many Rivers to Cross" on the local college radio station, but it's nice to hear the rest of the album. Thanks for that. (Now if we can just get someone to stream The Ignobles.)

Heh. I was in a forgettable band that opened for The Ignobles. Thanks for the nostalgia trip.
