Following the release of the Time Change EP on Oedipus Records in April of this year, San Francisco’s 60 Watt Kid have signed with Absolutely Kosher Records to release their self-titled full-length this fall on October 30, 2007. The trio of musicians that make up 60 Watt Kid—Kevin Litrow (voice, guitar, fuckery), Derek Thomas (guitars, keys, samples and electronics) and Garrett Pierce (tom drum, percussion and xylophone)—blend lower-fi, bare bones rock and roll with a bit of electronic experimentation and present it in a unique package of controlled chaos. And apparently the group’s live performance delivers in the same manner as they were signed to Absolutely Kosher based on a single live performance.

A few tracks from the new album are available for listening on the 60 Watt Kid MySpace page and we’ve also got an MP3 link for you below in the track listing.

So you know how I keep announcing a voicemail number and complain that no one is calling me? Well the number is actually no longer valid. Apparently after 30 days of no use (no voicemails) it is de-activated and assigned to someone else! I’ll have another number later, but if you’ve left a message with no response from me, I just simply didn’t get it.

Update The new voicemail line is at 206-202-2954

I know the show has been a little inconsistent leading up to show 50 and I apologize for having to delay the release another day or two, but I just finished moving into my new house and didn’t have a computer until right now so the show is coming and it will be in your lovely ears soon!

Well, it’s about 30 minutes until I need to head off to the airport to catch a flight to Tennessee so despite getting myself ready by purchasing some Sparks, I will definitely not be putting together a show out this weekend.

Check out these posts from Brooklyn Vegan for some links to Christmas mixes available for download if you want to get in the holiday mood!

Thanks so much for listening and if you’re going anywhere, I hope you have a safe trip. I hope I have a safe trip!
