TOMINATION

Yes, yes it's true. If you didn't see the vaguely cryptic note on Tomination's blog, here it is again: Tom Mcrae is playing the Hotel Cafe, September 2nd. Friday.

Be there, bring friends. Say hello to Tom. I unfortunately will have to miss it, but I hope to make up for it when I see him in October in London.

Thanks to myska_x, we now have the Kongresshaus Zurich show from June, 3 2005 available for download.

More shows coming soon!

Hotel Cafe show July 18th
29th June 2005
Tom was invited by the owners of the Hotel Cafe to play this date as July will be the last month of the original Cafe before the wall comes down and the Cafe expands. KCRW has already asked to present the show and there is sure to be "special guests" as Tom does a very special solo show for his friends....

Check out the Hotel Cafe Calendar for info.

We'd thank everyone for their patience as we continue to enhance Tomination. The reorganization is going well, but you may have noticed a few things disappearing.

Our news section has officially switched over to blogger and our feeds should now be functional. If you are a livejournal user, feel free to add our syndication to your friendlist.

The link for the forum is gone from our menu and will be permanently deleted from our server in the next couple of days. We felt it was a bit redundant to have one when there is already a thriving community at Tom's site and ours was getting so little traffic anyway.

Our lj community is now open and all members are free to post. (We'll be getting a fresh new layout here, as well.)

Lyrics are sort of misplaced at the moment, but will soon find a home in our extras section, where our recommendations have also been moved.

Upcoming features include PSA clips, a tominated fanlist, and more downloads.

Thanks again for your patience!

Did a bit more work on the site. Apologies to people who were visiting and had the site tweak out on them. You'll probably notice that some of the pages are php and some html - the change over is still slow-going - as well as new menu categories.

Finally added the US "Just Like Blood" release information and the "All Maps Welcome" info on the discography page.

We also have a new calendar feature. It shows the shows coming up for the next two months. Events occuring today will be bolded and then crossed out when the day's ended.

Media files are slowly being moved over to tominationmedia.net, which was purchased so we could keep the files we have up and available to visitors. The bandwidth limit on that host should be hefty enough, though the daily cap is 2.5GB, so we'll probably release things slowly. The password system will remain in effect to protect us from hotlinkers.

We hope you will benefit from the changes we are making and find the site a useful source of information.

Ta!

I'm in the process up upgrading Tomination.org to php and switching our news page over to Blogger with feed syndication. So, if things start to look all freaky for a bit, that'll be why. It's going to take a bit of time, but I'm hoping to have it all done in time for the release of Tom's new album.

Speaking of, I'm sure this isn't news to people who frequent the official site, but All Maps Welcome will be released May 2nd 2005. Here's the tracklisting, as posted on Tom's site:

1. For the Restless
2. Hummingbird Song
3. The Girl Who Falls Downstairs
4. How the West Was Won
5. Packing for the Crash
6. It Ain't You
7. Strangest Land
8. My Vampire Heart
9. Slient Boulevard
10. Still Lost
11. Border Song

We here at Tomination are very excited and can't wait for the new album. To promote the new release, Tom will be playing many shows throughout Europe. I will have to direct you to his site for further details.

Until next time, viva la Tomination!

Sorry, all, for the lack of updates. I've been delinquent in my duties. However, you'll be happy to hear that we have a lot of things in the works for Tomination including new recs, new downloads and new layouts.

In the meantime, please go see Tom at the final three shows of the East Coast residency:

Monday 21 - Philadelphia @ the North Star (buy tickets)
Tuesday 22 - NYC @ the Living Room (buy tickets)
Thursday 24 - Boston @ the Paradise Lounge (buy tickets)

New tour dates have been posted on Tom's site. In February, Tom will be back in the US playing in Boston, Philadelphia, and NYC!

+ Thursdays in Boston at the Paradise Lounge
+ Mondays in Philadelphia at the North Star
+ Tuesdays in NYC at the Living Room

I'll be at the NYC shows (as many as I can), so I hope to see some Tomination people there!
