OUT NOW...the new 6 song ep called [preparing to be forgotten]
********************************************************
it's a pretty short story really.
i am not ellen west. ellen west is the name of a throwing muses song. ellen west is not just a character, she is a real person. she was a real person. she is dead now, but i am not. throwing muses (www.throwingmusic.com) are sort of dead, but 50 foot wave (www.myspace.com/50footwave) is alive, kicking and screaming!
i play in a band with Matt and Tommy called The Missing Planes. the wooly mammoth may be extinct, but The Missing Planes are alive. check us out here:
www.themissingplanes.com
-or-
www.myspace.com/themissingplanes
i had a few songs sitting around that didn't quite fit in with that band. i kept them as is, sad and mellow, and play them acoustically every once in a while.
