Kowtow is currently working on Exalted Headband, the instrumental companion piece to last year’s End of Greatness. Look for Headband this summer. In the meantime, check out the sampler of 15 songs available through SNOCAP. The selections span Kowtow’s recording “career,” if you can call it that, including material previously unreleased digitally as well as tunes from his five CDs on Wampus. Call it Kowtow’s idea of an audio Whitman’s Sampler.
EoG airplay: "On the Run," "Life As Hobby," and "Oblivion" received airplay on web channels RadioioUnlimited and RadioioEclectic . . . “On the Run” was in the top 100 on WMSV (Miss. State) for about 8 weeks, debuting on Feb. 19, 2007, topping out at 32. The song also received airplay on KUMD (Duluth, MN), WRRW (Virginia Beach, VA), WSGE (Dallas, NC), and WTYD (Williamsburg, VA) . . . "Life As Hobby" was a favorite on KTKE (Truckee, CA).

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex and more violent. It takes a touch of genius and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction. -Albert Einstein
Kowtow, might you could explain how you got turned into that little bobble thing? I need this explanation on tomorrow. FYI, got new job at Subway. What type bread you want with that club sandwich?
