My girls discussing the 70s.

New video for Across the Country. Directed by Ramin Yazdi of Nur Films.

Alaska Tapes now has a soundcloud!  Andrew is working on really, really Lo-fi covers…  like “four-track-that-doesn’t-even-work-that-well” Lo-fi .  First up is Rex’s Blues by the great Townes Van Zandt.  Download free here: http://soundcloud.com/alaskatapes/andrew-malo-rexs-blues
