…but we try harder.
Our “Butcher Covers” album was named the #2 album of 2009 by the progressive rock podcast Prog’opolis. Thanks to hosts Vince and Daisy Jane for this fine honor!
Congratulations to Crimson Jazz Trio, who placed first (grumble grumble). On the follow-up to “Butcher Covers,” perhaps we should do a version of Thela Hun Ginjeet. With, I dunno, bodhran, baritone sax and flanged mandolin.
If you’re not already a regular listener to Vince and Daisy’s show…you should be!
As it turns out, the interview we did with Vince and Daisy did not air on their anniversary show, but that’s more than okay, because they’re actually devoting an entire show to us! Witness:
After five long years, Vince and Daisy finally sit down with Joe Griffin and Christopher Petkus, the creative minds behind the experimental band Donny Who Loved Bowling, for an interview of epic proportions. Spanning the length of the entire 3-hour show, we’ve interlaced fine selections from the band’s diverse musical catalogue with a witty, fascinating conversation ranging in topics from their recording methods and influences, to evolution and the purpose of the appendix. The show will air this Saturday at 7pm Pacific (10pm Eastern) and can only be heard at www.thedividingline.com. Bring popcorn. This is hands down one of the best shows in the five-year history of Prog’opolis.
Seriously, this could not be more awesome and thrilling. We hope you’ll be there.
Tune in this Saturday, September 5, at the Dividing Line Radio Network site.

DWLB has, over the years, enjoyed a fantastic amount of airplay on the Prog’opolis internet radio show. Co-hosts Vince and Daisy Jane have become good friends of the band, and they frequently are good enough to world-premiere new Donny songs. Heck and tarnation, they even gave us the name for this blog. We loves ‘em all the live-long day.
They’re celebrating five years of the show this Saturday, August 15, with a special 5th anniversary broadcast. To help them out we sat down in our respective studios, at our Skype-equipped confusers, and had ourselves a two and a half hour interview with Vince and Daisy — an interview the four of us had been talking about doing since we first sent them “tree fort” all those years ago. Vince is likely going mad trying to edit the interview down to a coherent and succinct 5 minutes for inclusion in the show; we do tend to ramble.
Please tune in Saturday, 7 pm Pacific, to listen live to the Prog’opolis Fifth Anniversary Special. Jump into their chat room and tell ‘em congrats. Ask Vince about his surgery. Hear some great music.
Happy Anniversary, Vince and Daisy! Thanks for everything.

As promised, Donny Who Loved Bowling announces Tweetcasting: podcasts 140 seconds or shorter. DWLB tweetcasts will feature snippets of unreleased music and works in progress, band news, or whatever we decide to lay down for ya. And it takes less than two and a half minutes, so why not listen?
The first DWLB Tweetcast is up now. It features a rough mix of the basic track for “Ain’t Gotta Come On So Boss,” as well as a little bit of our Pink Floyd cover. Enjoy!
