A Caterwaul Rebottle!

Eric Din played a solo acoustic set at Down Home Music on August 12, 2023, and now the full audio is now available (again!) to download.  This is NOT on the streaming services as it had been, briefly. We didn’t love the way the spoken banter tracks were showing up in random streams, and didn’t want to merge the banter audio with the song tracks, so, the solution is you may DOWNLOAD the album if’n ya like!

Here it is at:

iTunes

and

Amazon.

Here’s the original show flier:

Caterwaul along with the fam and cats and doggies!

Charlotte in the Garden of the New Futility

HOT off the proverbial presses, here is Eric Din’s latest and greatest.

Waving at the neighbors “Hi!” as the waves crash in,
They look at me and don’t know why, like “Hi, whatever,”
No one talks anymore, no one walks in this town,
Hardly notice myself when I take a look ’round,
Chasing my lost angels through the smog and glory,
Elvis and The Runaways gaze from the HOLLYWOOD sign

And on the gridlock freeway,
Tuning in to float away

Never never never never never sleep, never, never never slow down,
Got a bridge back home to sell ya, and the moon as well
No one talks anymore, no one walks in this town,
Hardly notice my shoes when I look at the ground,
All of these lost angels are gone forever,
Never lookin’ back again, no never never,

And on the zombie freeway,
Casting directors casting doubt,
I’ll never be in your spillway,
I’m not in your secret club,

As I walk in the mall, with my eyes lookin’ down,
Staring at the glowing, gleaming showing,
Now I know the way, following what it say,
Never need to wonder, everything’s easy,
These machines will preen and vent spleen for me,
Waving at my hologram now, the neighbors smile,

And on the scarlet carpet,
Margot Robbie strides away,
And in the garden, Charlotte
Watches a charming marmot play,
And in the garden, Charlotte,
Margot Robbie strides away

Video of Eric Din’s shindig at Down Home Music!

A Caterwaul, if you will.

UPDATE! Audio is now nicely mastered and we have hosted this at archive.org instead of youtube. I couldn’t seem to get rid of the acutely annoying ads at the beginning and I’m just done with that BS. Here you may enjoy the show absent some corporate brain-eating. If you want to support (monetize.. monetize!!) my work, you may buy my records or spin them on the streaming gadgets or share them on your socially whatnibbles. Thanks!~ Din

Time-Traveling Right Along

We’re thrilled to see Eric Din’s hand-lettered lyric vid for 1983 going cuckoo on the YouToobs. The song is in all the placey places,  or for the full 1980s experience you may order a CD (!!) also hand-penned by the artist himself.
STREET PARTY CDs are also still available.  Graphics by the immeasurable Shannon Wheeler.  Albums produced by Eric Din for Berkeley Cat Records, on Earth mainly. Enjoy time-warping in the convenience of your own home.
