Kowtow Popof ("Aeroplane Wings" on Multiplex) has just released his third CD, Eat My Dust, on Washington, DC indie label Wampus Records (http://www.wampus.com). The new album features lead guitarist Rob Santos, whose axe-work also graced the Multiplex offering.  Eat My Dust is a bit of a throwback and owes much to '70's rock of musicians such as Tonio K, Nilsson, Graham Parker, and Cheap Trick. In other words, it's not particularly Nelsonian-sounding. But Kowtow has been a big BN fan since "Maid In Heaven" jumped off an 8-track (cartridge, that is), so Bill's influence is somewhere in the mix.  If you are interested in purchasing a copy of Eat My Dust, go to Amazon.com

Mark Rushton - Over 20 tracks available, including "The World's Design" and "Vivid Red".  Musical format is mostly Big Beat dance, ambient, trip-hop-ish stuff with lots of samples.
