hey everyone! been a crazy past few months. living in belgium, touring europe with steve and stellar om source, and samson & gert go to the far west for shows in LA in december. was a total blast, and has made me very stoked for the upcoming year.

my apologies to anyone who emailed me recently that i havent replied to. i am doing my best to plunge backwards through the past few months and reply to everyone,but its tough so send me another email! my head is here again.

to everyone who asked about the availability of the "language barrier" and "must not have meant that much" cdrs, i will be doing another run of each of them for US crews that werent able to get the euro versions. these will be ready soon, i will post them both as soon as they're done.

also i am currently putting together the second volume of "Guitar Meditations", which is a 2 hour double cdr recorded in antwerp this past fall. very stoked about this release and will be posting it in the next few weeks.

also also i have available copies of my Solo Acoustic Vol Two LP on Vin Du Select Qualitite

label description:

Mark McGuire- VDSQ Solo Acoustic Vol. 2 - Melodic ballads and new pieces from Emeralds guitarist spark new inovations and memories thought to be lost.

We will be leaving September 15th, until mid December. I will not be doing any mailorder while we’re gone, but I will still be getting our new music to distros, and have some new things slated for release.

Mark McGuire - “Losing Sleep” - cdr - new recordings from this summer, pulled from jams that went down in the middle of the nights that I couldn’t fall asleep. With the exclusion of the last track, all of “losing sleep” is the result,or maybe the cause of just that, and was recorded between 3am and 6am. The early morning light is leaking through the window and the mind stirs and stirs. Xeroxed art with full color photo covers. Edition of only 60 copies.
SOLD OUT

Mental Prism - “Farm Sessions vol. 1” - c30 - this one is a long time coming. Recorded in late august of 2007, this is the first release of what was at the time known only as “The Family Band”, a collaboration between Emeralds and Shane and Kathy of Lambsbread. For a couple months, we were making frequent weekend trips down to their farm in Delaware, frying and jamming and eating tons of panCAKES. A brief moment in time, end of summer zone outs, a caveman stomp with a boogie twist. Full color photo covers.
Edition of 90 copies
SOLD OUT

I will have my solo acoustic lps very soon, but I probably wont have any available to sell myself before we leave. They will be available through distros though. Very psyched!! Vin Du Select Qualitite's solo acoustic series is gonna rule!

Check out the WAGON blog, John has some new outer space cdrs and a killer new jam from HEADBOGGLE, all must-grisps!
