Marnie Stern has revealed that the title of her second album will 'This Is It And I Am It And You Are It And So Is That And He Is It And She Is It And It Is It And That Is That'. Hmmm. Anyway, it'll be out via Kill Rock Stars on 7 Oct. And if it's even half as good as her debut, 'In Advance Of The Broken Arm', it will be very good indeed. Stern also appears on Hella drummer Zach Hill's debut solo album, 'Astrological Straits' which is out on 4 Aug through Ipecac.
Meanwhile, if you fancy being a guitar player like Marnie, you could start by bidding on a charity auction to win a guitar lesson with her. The auction, currently running on Ebay, is part of the US end of Independents Day 08. To bid, go here.
