Here are some E6 tidbits scattered around the web.

A Hawk and a Hacksaw: Check out this great little interview with Jeremy Barnes, with some information on his new EP and collaboration with the Hun Hangar Ensemble. Thanks to Chris for pointing this out at the Townhall.

The High Water Marks: They still have a new album, Polar, coming out, but it's switched labels from Future Farmer to Happy Happy Birthday to Me. Expect it sometime this summer.

Casper and the Cookies: Rock poet Thax Douglas, who has penned verse for Of Montreal, The Apples in Stereo, and Olivia Tremor Control, wrote a poem to commemorate Casper and the Cookies' recent Chicago appearance. You can read it, and other Cookies memories, in their MySpace blog.

The Apples in Stereo: have been forced to cancel the Scandinavian dates of their upcoming European tour. Check their MySpace site for the current updated schedule. (Haven't updated Optical Atlas' tour dates page yet...I'll get to that this weekend, hopefully.) Oh, and here's my vote for most unusual Apples in Stereo cover ever (video below). Robert Schneider has said, "Thanks to R. Stevie Moore for doing this awesome cover!!! Everybody should check out his very interesting/awesome/strange videos on youtube, not to mention his many, varied records-- R. Stevie was making home recorded experimental pop records before 'lo-fi' was even a word, and he produces songs the way Steve Keene produces paintings: constantly, in great numbers, with something interesting about each one-- Fans of ELO, XTC, and LSD check out I Like to Stay Home which is one of my favorite songs ever. The guy is God (he even has a white beard and big psychedelic glasses just like God)."
