Hi!

_Teenager_ is now available in stores, both in the US and Canada (and I
think soon to be in Europe too).  You can still order it direct, but it's
not impossible to find retail any more.

Yay!

Oh no, the pressure... ;)

That's true.  I have heard of her first album, _Grandmother's Tea Leaves_
being seen in stores known for carrying stuff by really obscure indie
artists, but those occurences have been very few and far between, alas.

I hope you like it -- please let me know what you think. :)

Yay!!!  I'll also add that _Bones_ has been reissued on the Prime-CD label,
so it should be easier to find now.  If it's not, you can get it by calling
1-800-PRIME-CD.  (And the liner notes contain the English translation of
Mna-na-hEireann, so here's another way to get it for your very own. :)

woj and I were in Northampton, MA last night to see Altan at the Iron Horse
Music Hall (yay), and beforehand we stopped by Main St. Music, which is
operated by a raving Katefan.  He's got his signed TSW poster, his signed
HoL poster, and a laminated listing of all the KaTe rariTies stuck in the
bin, since there's too many to display all at once.  We saw a copy of the
reissue of The Singles File in the case, and I think there may be a Boxed
Set lurking out back there somewhere, too.  Worth checking out if you're in
town -- it's always nice to find a place run by a KaTemaniac. :)  They get
Homeground in too.

(Oh yeah, and the owner's a rabid Toriphile too...)
