Catbird Records just announced the release of their latest - Jason Zumpano\'s Room and Mansion. For a meager $8 you get a limited edition 12-song CD and two giclee prints by Sydney Vermont. Personally, I just buy everything that Catbird puts out and have yet to be disappointed. De Novo Dahl has put up a free EP for your downloading pleasure called Bobby Thompson Reels, Vol. 1. The music is an interesting mix of dance-y beats and loads of samples from interviews with legendary banjo session player Bobby Thompson (yea, I\'ve not heard of him either). It is not a formula you\'d think would work but it\'s an entertaining listen. Go download it and be sure to read the whole story behind it.
