"There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life:
music and cats."  -  French Philosopher, Albert Schweitzer

hi Everyone...
it's been a while since the last Double Agent newsletter.... we've
been saving some BIG announcements....

The Telescopes "Auditory Illusions" enhanced CD w/ video
out February 28 - LIMITED TO 500!

Rose Melberg "Cast Away The Clouds" digipak CD
all-new album out April 25!

Double Agent 1980 : A Tribute to the 1980's
rare indiepop compilation re-issued for the 10 year anniversary, only
on iTunes
(includes My Favorite covering David Bowie's "Modern Love")

------------------------------------------

The Telescopes "Auditory Illusions" enhanced CD w/ video
out February 28 - LIMITED TO 500! (only for sale online and at shows)
http://www.doubleagentrecords.com/telescopes

Includes a free-drone re-working of their biggest single, 'Flying,'
with a hypnotic new video by Dan Hopkins.
watch a video clip of "Flying (2006)" at video.co.uk:
http://www.video-c.co.uk/videovaultwatch.asp?vidref=thet008

ColourSonic review: 'Flying' is one of the Telescopes most well known
tracks and here it is in all its glory, reinvented and redefined like
you've never heard it before... alongside their very best work... the
highlight of the EP for me is the Dan Hopkins video; eerie, intense
and anonymous.

After a decade's journey across the universe, legendary Creation
Records astronauts, The Telescopes, triumphantly splashed down on
Earth in 2002 as an 11-piece with a new album of alien compositions,
Third Wave. John Peel broadcast his favorites announcing, "The
Telescopes have resurfaced, and I am amazed and glad that they are
still practicing their mysterious art."

Stephen Lawrie and his group of sonic architects have since toured
the UK and Italy as a 4-piece improvising free-drone noise, supported
by Sonic Boom's EAR, Füxa, Vibracathedral Orchestra, and more.

The all-new Auditory Illusions is a mesmerising 25-minute live
session recorded for Double Agent using an assortment of improvised
acoustic and battery operated instrumentation to create new and
exclusive versions of material past and present.

Rose Melberg "Cast Away The Clouds" digipak CD
all-new album out April 25!
http://www.doubleagentrecords.com/rose

That's right... the angellic leader of The Softies, Tiger Trap and Go
Sailor is back with her most amazing work to date!

Rose Melberg has always been a productive overachiever - giving us a
seemingly endless avalanche of mellifluous albums to treasure - but
the past 5 years have been uncharacteristically quiet. After moving
to a small Canadian lakeside town, she started a family, developed
into a mature singer/songwriter akin to Nick Drake, Tracey Thorn,
Elliott Smith and Isobel Campbell / Belle & Sebastian, and created
her solo masterpiece, "Cast Away the Clouds", the spellbinding
continuation of an impressive career.

Straight out of a Sacramento high school, Rose Melberg entered the
indiepop 7-inch scene in 1992 with her first of many successful
bands, Tiger Trap. Crunchy guitars and punk attitudes couldn't hide
Rose's velvet voice and painfully honest lyrics, and the all-girl
foursome quickly became stars of a burgeoning indiepop/punk movement
centered around Olympia, WA and record labels like K and Kill Rock
Stars. Too good to last, Tiger Trap split after their second US tour,
leaving just one classic album and an EP on K Records. Wondrously
prolific, Rose quickly teamed with uber- fan Jen Sbragia to form the
The Softies, possibly her best-known project. With just two guitars
and two angelic voices, The Softies debuted with a 7" and mini-LP on
the wonderful Slumberland Records, toured the US 5 times (once with
Elliott Smith) and released 3 amazing albums and singles, also on K
Records from 1994-2001.

At the same time, Rose somehow managed to front Go Sailor who
collected their sold-out and sought-after pop singles on Look Out
Records in 1997, and had two songs featured in the campy film, "But
I'm A Cheerleader". Never stopping, Rose also played drums on two
albums with Gaze and recorded various duets and solo tracks while on
tour. Those stray tracks were compiled on "Portola" released by
Double Agent Records in 1998. All-Music Guide gave it 4 stars and
declared "Even in light of the uniform brilliance of Rose Melberg's
past work with Tiger Trap and The Softies, her solo debut is still
reve- latory -- never before has her voice been so disarmingly honest
and vulnerable... 'Portola' is a small miracle."

Having long since graduated from Indiepop University, Rose re-emerges
mature and confident with the most deeply personal album of her
career, "Cast Away the Clouds".

Double Agent 1980 : A Tribute to the 1980's
rare indiepop compilation re-issued for the 10 year anniversary, only
on iTunes
Released in 1996 and sold out for many years, we've now made this
rare compilation available exclusively via iTunes for just $7.92 to
celebrate the anniversary!

Includes exclusive tracks from My Favorite, Bunnygrunt, Holiday,
Class, The Softies, Push Kings, #Poundsign#, and Tullycraft !!
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=108775260

"Probably a lot of thrash/trash versions of obvious-target songs,
right? Wrong. The result is surprisingly poignant, and it's enough to
make you think that we didn't get our sensitivity from Morrissey or
R.E.M.; we got it from Rick Astley or even Bonnie Tyler." Brett
Milano, Boston Phoenix

Does anyone have the tracklist for these 8 songs?

"They recorded 8 songs on a tape and called it The Day The World Turned Blue.
They were
20 years old and beautifully clueless. Michael and Kirk wrote the songs and
Darren played
bass. Gilbert hung around and played keyboards on a few songs. Stevan played a
couple
  of guitar tracks. The engineer's favorite band was Journey. By this time Kirk
had joined a
ethereal post-Goth band which had a deal with Shimmy-Disc records in NY. After
that he
refused to play anything except an acoustic guitar in My Favorite. The resulting
tape with its
oboes and violins and maudlin mumblings sounds kind of like The Sundays on
Prozac. After
they had spent whatever money they had on making this tape, Kirk quit, leaving
the band in
serious jeopardy. The current members of My Favorite do not consider that tape a
"My
Favorite" record and stopped playing songs from it shortly after Kirk quit.
Although it is not
without some merit, the band wishes each copy had been buried, so requests from
the public
are often met with physical violence."

What I mean is that they don't sing at all anymore, having released a
handful of albums and broken up.  I think they should sing more.
Although, yes, a duo would be cool.

But I can't play faves with the Faves.

One might as well try to make the claim that Morrissey is trying to
sound like Edwyn Collins but doesn't. Personally I always liked
Michael's voice best but I can see where it doesn't fit in certain
songs that he wrote, sometimes lyrically and sometimes sonically.
Andrea does have a lovely and approachable voice, of course.

"There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life:
music and cats."  -  French Philosopher, Albert Schweitzer

http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/news/05-10/05.shtml#breakups


My Favorite, Troubled Hubble, Del Cielo Break Up

Jason Toon, Kati Llewellyn, and Amy Phillips report:
Times are rough for rock bands right now, what with high gas prices
causing the cost of touring to skyrocket, and all those evil
downloaders stealing music (ha). A rash of breakups has rocked the
indie world recently, affecting the synth-pop, nerd-rock and punk
scenes alike.

Although their debut long-player didn't emerge until 1999, Long
Island quintet My Favorite were digging through the pockets of the
80s when that decade's corpse was barely cold. Now the band's 14-year
existence has come to an end, according to an announcement from
frontdude/songwriter Michael Grace, Jr. "Andrea Vaughn has left My
Favorite," Grace wrote in mid-September the band's website, speaking
of his longtime singing/keyboarding partner in pop. "And thus, by all
rights, that chapter should be closed...She was the Anna Karina to my
Jean-Luc Godard, the poetry in my Alphaville."

If that seems like a melodramatic send-off for a bandmate, keep in
mind that Vaughn was also his ex-wife. Although the couple divorced
several years ago, both stayed in My Favorite, a rare accomplishment
among rock n roll divorcees. "Somehow, the band survived for four or
five years after we stopped being a couple," Grace told Pitchfork in
a phone conversation last week. "I'm proud of it."

So why, with that mess safely in the past, did Vaughn decide to
leave? "I think she was just tired of being in an indie band," Grace
said. "There's an element of exhaustion to it, always some sort of
wall you're trying to break through. She didn't think being a singer
in a bad was what she wanted to do any more. If you take her at her
word, it was just time to, you know, get some reading done."

Although a planned My Favorite album is "3/4 finished," according to
Grace, it's a substantially different affair from the shimmering
synth-pop the band was known for. "This was our first, dare I say it,
rock n roll record," Grace said. "Our music had always been recorded
a piece at a time: keyboards one week, some electronic drums the next
week, guitar the next week. This time we just went into the Walkmen's
studio [Marcata Recording] and told (drummer) Tod to hit his drums as
hard as he could." The unfinished album will form the core repertoire
of Grace's next band, tentatively called the Secret History and
including most or all of the rest of My Favorite. "It would be a
shame not to use those recordings," he said. "It won't be a My
Favorite record with a different singer. It'll be somewhere between
My Favorite and Hedwig and the Angry Inch - the great Ziggy Stardust
art-glam record I never had the confidence to make." Hmm... kinda
sounds like the Killers.

My Favorite leaves a recorded legacy of two full-lengths and a
handful of EPs. A bizarre postmortem was provided by the CBS daytime
soap "The Bold and the Beautiful", when the Faves' song "Homeless
Club Kids" was used to soundtrack a scene involving some sort of
bridal fashion show. While well-dressed scions of the ruling class
look on adoringly at the model's pirouettes, Vaughn sings about "the
ghosts of dead teenagers." The only line of dialogue in the scene
comes near the end: "Maybe there will be a miracle today."

For Grace, Vaughn, and the scattered coterie of My Favorite, the
miracle never came, but Grace was stunned by the outpouring of
letters from anguished fans as word about the breakup filtered out.
"I wasn't surprised by the amount, but by the emotion and
vulnerability that people were willing to reveal, just to let me know
the band meant something to them," he said. Band manager and Double
Agent Records honcho Peter Green adds, "We were getting these amazing
letters from kids, crying 'Katrina devastated my home, now My
Favorite broke up.' (The band members) were asking me how to judge if
they succeeded or failed as a band. I told them to judge by those
letters." We'd insert some kind of snarky comment here, but we just
don't have the heart.

All good things must come to an end I suppose...
Let us leave it with a toast to the future.
Au revoir!

My heart is breaking once again. Two weeks ago, my city was lost to
Katrina. Now, the only band that matters is lost, as well. Another
day of sorrow....

That is a shame.  I would have liked to have seen them play just one
more time.

As with most tragedies, I blame Brooklyn.

from Michael Grace Jr.....

Friends, fans & colleagues,

This correspondence is to announce the end of a pop group.

Andrea Vaughn has left My Favorite.
And thus, by all rights, that chapter should be closed.

The Faves
"With Love Despite Fierce Resistance"
1991-2005

-----

That is a long time for dancers to hold a pose, in the illumination
of golden lights, in the wilderness of feedback. It is also more or
less my whole life post junior prom. It shall take some getting used to.

The whole unbelievable truth will perhaps be revealed someday in the
form of book either I, or a couple others, might threaten to write.
Or perhaps it will stay where it's always been——just beneath the
surface of the stormy waters, swimming towards Atlantis.

After more than a decade of making music and memories together, life
suggests (or demands) changes. And in the cracks that faith won't
fill, fractures will occur. You can't build palaces upon rubble. Few
things live forever. And that which does——never dies. Thus mourn
judiciously, and celebrate what you can.

We end this band the way most great cult bands end, with a
combination of frustration and regret, pride and fulfillment. But
mostly we part as friends, and brethren.

I have had the great fortune to have my songs come to life alongside
some remarkably talented and dedicated musicians and people, who
fought the good fight alongside me with great passion. Lads with the
remarkable ability to find a link to my haunted imagination, in their
own. My Favorite was truly the golden chain we all formed together.
You have not seen the last fruits of that collaboration.

Andrea gave me and our music nearly half her life. She gave this band
her labor & her love. She was a uniquely talented artist, the kind of
popstar Jane Austen would have created. She gave my words a
courageous vulnerability, and a kind of dignity, which no one will
ever be able to rid them of. I will be indebted to her personally and
artistically for all we shared, in so many different ways.

She was the Anna Karina to my Jean-Luc Godard, the poetry in my
Alphaville.

We wish her nothing but happiness.

-----

The Future:

That leaves us with a partially recorded could-be masterpiece, one
that never truly felt much like a My Favorite record to me in the end
anyway. It is also an album which Andrea ended up not recording very
much for. An unfinished novel missing a main character.

During the last two years of this band's shaky solidarity, I began to
plan——sadly——for this moment. I wrote the name of an imaginary band
called The Secret History in the margins of my New York Times. I
thought of what I would do, what I could do, if I had to start again.
In the next couple months, this will all begin to take shape; a new
project, old faces, a new website and diary, a resurrection of the
record, a search for a new Nico, a crime to end all crimes. The last
battle.

You will hear more about all this soon...I promise. But what is
definite now, is that there is no more My Favorite. There couldn't be
for me (and probably for you) without Andi.

The last "performance" by My Favorite was during an episode of the
CBS soap opera ‘The Bold & The Beautiful' which aired at the end of
August. One of these links works better on PC, and one MAC.

http://www.lostdetective.com/videos/HCK.html
http://www.lostdetective.com/videos/HCK-wmv.html

It was a hilarious, yet strangely affecting thing for me to watch;
the ghost of a teenage bride swirling about on stage. The audience
clapping like we were giving some kind of metaphysical encore. The
one line of dialogue: "Maybe there will be a miracle today." In
fiction, we get happy endings. In life we ask only for second
chances. For a band that truly was a soap opera, well the good lord's
sense of humor, and empathy, never ceases to amaze.

To all of you: The true BOLD and BEAUTIFUL

To all of you who have cared about My Favorite for any part of the
decade plus since we crawled out of the toxic waste of Long Island
together——I thank you from the bottom of my heart. From Peter Green
to a shy pop kid in Sweden; it took every one of you to make us what
we were.

There were amazing moments. Too many to number or describe. Someday
I'll get around to doing it.

Speaking on behalf of the band, I know the whole gang deeply
appreciated all that we have shared together, and all the support
that we have received over the years from the aforementioned friends,
fans and colleagues. No matter what personal or professional
frustrations or heartbreaks we endured, there was always an email or
letter waiting to inspire us when we got home, a story about how we
were part of the soundtrack of your lives, and how we gave you
strength and comfort. I hope you realize that YOU did the same for
us. Very few people, who pick up a microphone in their parents'
garage, get to be told that they are in a band that profoundly
MATTERS by a few thousand of the smartest, best looking people in the
world. As much as the music industry marginalized us, YOU championed
us, and given the choice...I would choose YOU a million times in a
row. You are My Favorite, and I believe in...well...you.

Speaking on behalf of myself, my life has been truly changed, and
blessed, by those of you who walked in that downpour of grey glitter
alongside me. With a song in our hearts (or headphones), we never
walked alone. Thank you dears.

When I started down this road, all those years ago... a tender
teenager in horn rimmed glasses and a second hand Fred Perry,
surrounded by misfits and prophets, glue sniffers and geniuses... all
I hoped to do was share something of the urgent loveliness and
sadness of our lives, surrounded as we were by a plainness of
architecture, and ugliness of spirit which defined the suburbs, and
(sadly) much of America itself. There was almost something glamorous
in defying it, in defining it, as we did. I was consumed with being
that dark star, that obscure saint. I wanted to make an art that was
as rainy and lush and real and spectral as the coastal towns that
comforted us at twilight. I wanted to be a sword swallower, and
nostalgia was to be my sword. I wanted to do something courageous.

Sadly it was always much easier for me to do that in my art, than in
my life. But I'm working on that.  If I had known then, just how much
loveliness and sadness this band would bring to me personally, I
don't think I would have believed it. And I'm not sure I would have
ever stepped on a stage. But I did, and I had company. We were
glorious failures. But we were glorious.

So that's that. Sitting here on a park bench underneath the elevated
subway line, in horn rimmed glasses and a Fred Perry, the world
appears to me still a divine creation; a place of great turmoil, and
great possibility. A place where each cross we bear brings us closer
to that which is unbreakable within us. I hope I've earned enough of
your trust that you will follow me to what comes next. If I've
learned anything from all this, it is that one should never hold
back, or be frightened of, that which is in one's heart. Die with
your boots on. Live with your boots on. The spaces around us are our
sacred battlefield. Strike boldly, but strike only for Love. That's
what The Secret History will be.

Thanks Peter, and all the others who helped answer my question. I
dug out my copy of DA2001 - Take Everything Very Seriously, to find
out that "Detectives of Suburbia" is really really great song to
wake up to. I've had it on my CD alarm clock all week. And the
Nuclear Holocaust Mix of Homeless Club Kids may be my favorite of
all the remixes of that song.
   I need more....When can we expect anything new ?
