Over the weekend the New York Times printed a lovely article on Tracy and her new record in the Arts & Leisure section, but you can read the full article online as well right here. And if you’ll be zipping around the city in a yellow cab this week (and by zipping I mean sitting in traffic while the cabbie talks obnoxiously into his cellphone) keep the TV turned on and you’ll catch Tracy being interviewed on NBC’s Talk Stoop with Cat Greenleaf….or watch it here (much cheaper and also comes without the risk of serious bodily injury).
And tonight’s the night, catch Tracy performing “Big Red Heart” on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno!

News :: New Release: Peter Block’s Self Titled Album Out Now!
June 29th, 2010 by Engine Room Recordings | Subscribe To The News Feed [ News]
For Peter Block’s fifth studio album Peter teamed up with producer Mike Viola, who is known for studio work with Mandy Moore, Fountains of Wayne, Mono Puff, and on the soundtracks “That Thing You Do”, “Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story” and the new Russell Brand and Jonah Hill movie “Get Him To The Greek”. During the making of the album Peter went through a series of personal tragedies that shaped what the album was to become. The result is a chilling, concise cycle of ten tracks that trace the ups and downs of an emotional rollercoaster that eventually finds its way to some level of acceptance. Despite the difficult emotional terrain, Block and his co-writers — Viola, Slow Runner frontman Michael Flynn, They Might Be Giants guitarist Dan Miller, Madison Square Gardeners leader Aaron Lee Tasjan, and Tracy Bonham – never let the circumstances bring them down. There is still plenty of pop music magic and honest, unfettered joy shaking loose from these tracks of intense introspection.
Listen to and purchase the album here. The physical release date is August 17th where both CD and vinyl versions of the album will be made available.
