Mike Doughty’s Skittish/Rockity Roll is on sale today!

Sebastian Steinberg showed up on William Shatner’s latest CD, Has Been on a handful of cuts playing bass. It’s an amazing record featuring the likes of Joe Jackson, Ben Folds, Aimee Man, Lemon Jelly, Henry Rollins and Brad Paisley. Totally a strange & quirky record, but is interesting and well put together, none the less.
