Sorry for the lack of posts this past 2 weeks but between a terrible cold and other pressing family matters, I have not been able able to update since just before the Atlanta show. So, that means we have a lot of catching up to do, starting with congratulating Jim and Claudia, the winners of the free tickets and back stage passes TCM’s Atlanta show at the Tabernacle.

Much love and thanks to Ken, Scott and the whole Crystal Method crew for the great show and hospitality. Everyone was super-cool and back stage was the perfect place to cool down after the blistering set they delivered. Look for the pre-show interview with Ken and Scott and a massive photo set to be posted here this week.

This is a very good clip - audio and video - of “Busy Child” from the May 7 show in Montreal. Enjoy!

It seems that Ken Jordan has been at the center of the most recent interviews leading up to the new album and tour, so I was glad to see this interview with Scott by Wei Huan Chen of Brandeis University.
