Those of you who visit us here with any frequency may have noticed that the last six months of 2009 have been a hiatus period for POSTCARD COMETS. True, both Buck and David have been toiling away on the next Dolores Dagenais album, tentatively entitled Big Girl Art. That was a lot of work and a lot of fun and everyone is looking forward to its release in the Spring of 2010.

But that’s not all that’s been going on in Songville. The intensely wet summer moved Buck to build an ark in his basement only to have to dissemble it when he realized it wouldn’t go out the back door. David played the Stateside Gathering this summer with honorary Comet Howard Rabkin. As it turned out, the torrential rain they drove through on the return trip made them regret not bringing Buck’s Ark. There’s a rough clip of their performance on youTube if you haven’t seen it (and it’s fair to say that the majority of the world has not). In the clip they appear to be relatively dry at that particular point in the adventure.

OK, enough deflection. Let’s admit here and now that the musical leviathan known as POSTCARD COMETS has not been as productive in the posting of new songs this past six months. But they’ve vowed to change their slothful ways and get some new tracks up here on the website pretty soon. There’s even talk of a recording project with Howard Rabkin if he can tear himself away from the other 12 bands to which he belongs.

Will they post new work? Yes. Will they continue to post for the following 12 months without fail? Well, first David has to go into CNN detox and as for Buck, there’s been some dark talk about a dirigible…

Thanks for listening, everyone and here’s to a healthy and productive 2010!
