Ever since Versus "reunited" to perform a show this past February as part of Teenbeat Records' 20th Anniversary celebrations things have been quiet in Versus-land. The band is definitely on hiatus as members continue onward with their own musical projects including The Fontaine Toups, +/-, and Whysall Lane. To whet your appetite, Richard Baluyut's band Whysall Lane(which also includes members ex-Jawbreaker drummer Adam Pfahler and SPCA Cat Behaviorist Mikel Delgado on bass, formerly of the Little Deaths and Cinnamon Imperials) have just finished recording their album which will be released through Blackball Records in February 2006. The band has a MySpace site where you can check out some song samples and they also have an official site currently under construction where you can presently download an mp3 of their song "The Way Back". The song's very Versus-like with it's melodic guitar work and Mikel's vocal contributions which are more than reminiscent of Fontaine Toup's pretty vocal sound. Of course, Richard Baluyut's vocals just scream Versus every time I hear him sing and that's totally fine with me. [photo from the band's MySpace site]:

Teenage Fanclub performed a live session for NPR yesterday performing "Time Stops", "It's All in My Mind", "Nowhere", and "Did I Say".
Woohoo! I have a four-day weekend with plans to see The New Pornographers on Sunday and The Fiery Furnaces on Monday. Thanksgiving Day feasts go down Monday and then Tuesday I have an additional day off from work to unwind. "Let us all give thanks..."
