All The Mews That’s Fit To Paw
A Caterwaul Rebottle, Piero’s single at full-throttle, and more!
This week we re-launched the Eric Din solo acoustic album, exclusively as a download this time. It didn’t quite work as a streaming record, since the spoken banter between songs are on their own tracks, and these kept showing up randomly out of context on various stations. Live n’ learn! So I made the decision to pull it from those services and re-launch it as a download-only affair. Here be links:
Piero’s Safe To Cry Now single is receiving the very warm reception I had hoped it would, on our various FacePlaces and beyond! I am grateful, and I pray this continues.
I updated the links widget yesterday, to include our oh-so-favorite Bandcamp link, right at the tippy-top:

We invite you to listen and share this, of course. It’s a rather historic event that this single exists at all, and it’s one I take some personal pride in for having helped bring it into the world. The song itself, is 100% Piero’s. He sang it to me over 20 years ago and I was floored. I must have pestered him every year or two since, to please record it. Our chance meeting a few months ago at the Hotsy Totsy that Piero mentions in his story about the song - where my lifelong pal and musical comrade and drummer extraordinaire Tom Pope DEMANDED, nay COMMANDED Piero to un-retire from music - I AM a witness to this, and it IS as Piero described! It was rather hilarious, and I wasn’t sure if Piero was going to punch Tom or hug him. The following morning found me at another dear friend’s house (who is a beloved subscriber here), in a less than ideal state (the Hotsy is a BAR, for those wondering!), but it all quickly became worthwhile as plans for the “Safe To Cry” recording session quickly emerged.
More Mews!
The new single from Nonuffya Bizznis And The Private Dancers - Nostalgianon looms like a pirate ship on Snoopy’s horizon, and in fact, you may PRE-SAVE it in Spotify, if you so elect!→

This one WILL be in the popular streaming services, and in fact I will list them here (takes deep breath..) Pandora, Apple Music, iTunes, TikTok/TikTok Music/Resso/Luna, YouTube Music, Amazon, Deezer, Tidal, iHeartRadio, Boomplay AND!! freakin’ Spotify. (BUT HOW?!) We have ways, Batagonia, we have ways.
More to follow, I imagine. This has turned out to be an exciting and busy Berkeley Cat year. Unexpectedly productive, honestly. Huge thanks to our listeners and supporters around the world. Wishing you joyful and peaceful and healthy holidays,
