Notes On McCarthy Trenchings Calamity Drenching: A. McCarthy Trenching just bought a packet of cigarettes and a bottle of Old Overholt and came home to write this intro for the blurb on his new record (here we are). After having played a benefit concert for a little boy who was badly burned when he tipped a vegetable steamer over onto himself. After having made a promise to an old friend that no songs about horse racing would be played at the concert, on account of the cruelties of the sport, a promise which was broken. McCarthy Trenchings latest songs tend to be centered around rejections: romantic ones, religious ones, rejections of high holidays and of higher education, the rejection that happens when a driver hits eject on her tape player and throws the cassette out the window. McCarthy Trenching is probably a couple deep right now. B. McCarthy Trenching spent most of 2007 touring, with an extended opening slot on the Bright Eyes Cassadaga tour, a date here and there warming the stage with the likes of M. Ward, Victoria Williams, Jason Isbell, Mark Olson and even radio hit Peter, Bjorn & John. Then we came home for a bad Nebraska winter, spending most of our time shoveling snow and recording songs. The result is Calamity Drenching, a collection of songs about horse racing, the romance of cassette tapes (and losing that particular romance), piano practice, religious doubt, inclement weather, and Bar-B-Q. And there is an accordion solo titled after a line from Carl Sandburgs poem Happiness. We think its a worthy follow-up to our self-titled Team Love release from last year it captures a more concentrated period of songwriting and recording, but contrary to what Detritus implies, we have not quit drinking. C. Disappointment is rife, but solace is also to be found: in friendship, in music, in horse racing, and in cutting close to the bone in all endeavors. D. Having lost faith in Catholicism and Romantic Love, what does one look to? Such unreliable sources as friends, music, beer, bar-b-que, and gambling. Not bad, right? E. Calamity Drenching collaborators include: Steve Bartolomei (Mal Madrigal), Ben Brodin (Before the Toast and Tea), Stefanie Drootin (The Good Life, She & Him, Bright Eyes), Tim Jensen (The Golden Age), Pearl Lovejoy Boyd (Outlaw con Bandana), Ted Stevens (Cursive, Mayday), Orenda Fink (Azure Ray, Art in Manila) and Phillip Too-Tall Shaffart, who says Trench is Omahas best songwriter, no big deal. F. McCarthy Trenching prefers to record at home, since there is so much snow-shoveling to do during the winter. All of the songs were recorded on 8-track tape machines, mostly in the living room, because thats where the piano is. G. Dan McCarthys multi-instrumental talent can also be heard on Bright Eyes Cassadaga, Maria Taylors Lynn Teeter Flower, Cursives Happy Hollow, The Good Lifes Album of the Year, and Tilly and the Walls Bottoms of Barrels and o. H. So far in 2008, McCarthy Trenching has circled the states once already with The Felice Brothers and Justin Townes Earle and plans to visit every nook and cranny with a two month tour this Fall covering 50 cities. Editors Note: Team Love would like to interject that they believe, despite Dans humble portrayal above, Calamity Drenching is a monumental follow-up to the self-titled Team Love release last year exploring the power of piano driven songs and weaving clever tales of rejection and disappointment - wrapped in the feeling of solitude one can only experience in the depths of a midwestern Winter.

5/16/2008 Attorney William Pepper says Sirhan Sirhan was wrongly convicted of assassinating Senator Robert F. Kennedy. As Sirhan's new lawyer, following the death of Lawrence Teeter, Pepper says he'll seek a new trial for his client. In this video, CNN International anchors Sasha Herriman and Adrian Finighan in London report on, and interview, William Pepper in New York about evidence that a second gunman - someone other than Sirhan - shot RFK. That evidence includes scientific findings by forensic experts Philip Van Praag and Robert J. Joling concerning an audio tape known as the Pruszynski recording. Pepper says he's "quite impressed" by their findings. Van Praag and Joling have concluded that this previously unknown recording, uncovered by an American journalist in 2004 and examined extensively by Van Praag beginning in 2005, reveals that Sirhan did not act alone. The Pruszynski recording is the only known tape of the June 1968 shooting. It was made by freelance newspaper reporter Stanislaw Pruszynski, a Polish journalist covering the RFK presidential campaign for Canadian newspapers. Phil Van Praag and Robert Joling say the Pruszynski recording shows that in addition to convicted gunman Sirhan, there was a second, hidden gunman in the Ambassador Hotel kitchen pantry who also was firing at RFK. They say the recording along with other forensic evidence proves that none of Sirhan's bullets hit Kennedy. They say the Democratic presidential candidate was shot by the second unknown gunman and not by Sirhan, who is the only person ever arrested, tried, convicted and sentenced for the assassination. Joling and Van Praag say all eight bullets fired by Sirhan missed Bobby Kennedy and instead hit bystanders and woodwork inside the kitchen pantry and inside another area near the pantry. They say RFK was struck four times (three bullets entering his body and one passing through his clothing) and all four Kennedy bullets were fired from extremely close range immediately behind the Senator by someone other than Sirhan, who was several feet to Kennedy's front and never got behind RFK. According to Van Praag and Joling, the Pruszynski recording reveals that at the moment of the RFK shooting in the hotel kitchen pantry, at least 13 shots were fired: 5 more bullets fired than Sirhan alone could have fired with his single 8-shot revolver and which he had no opportunity to reload in the pantry. In addition, the experts say the recording also reveals two sets of "double shots": shots fired too closely together to have come from the same gun. They say the Pruszynski recording reveals the second gunman (RFK's real killer, they believe) likely was firing a .22 caliber 9-shot H&R 922 handgun at the same time that Sirhan was firing his .22 caliber 8-shot Iver Johnson Cadet 55 handgun. They say the hidden H&R weapon fired at least five shots from the rear while Sirhan fired all eight of his Iver Johnson's bullets from in front. They say Sirhan only had a free hand during his first two shots: that the first two shots Sirhan fired missed Senator Kennedy and Sirhan's last six shots were fired wildly while he was being grabbed by several people in the pantry. They say only the second gunman had a clear shot at RFK and was able to quickly fire his bullets into Kennedy from behind, unseen by most witnesses because all attention in the pantry had shifted to Sirhan and his gun. Robert Kennedy and five others were shot at the Ambassador in Los Angeles at 12:16 AM on June 5, 1968 only moments after the New York Senator had claimed victory in the June 4th California Democratic Presidential Primary - the third major U.S. assassination of the 1960s, occurring 4 1/2 years after the assassination of RFK's brother, President John F. Kennedy. Phil Van Praag and Bob Joling presented their RFK assassination findings before an annual meeting of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences in Washington DC on February 21, 2008. On March 25, 2008, they likewise presented their findings in Ledyard, Connecticut before hundreds of forensic experts attending the Markle Symposium, sponsored by the Henry C. Lee Institute of Forensic Science. Earlier, on June 6, 2007, the Discovery Times Channel premiered the television documentary, "Conspiracy Test: The RFK Assassination" which featured Van Praag, Joling, Stanislaw Pruszynski of Warsaw, Poland and other notables as the program focused in detail on Van Praag's Pruszynski recording findings. Also featured in "Conspiracy Test" was shooting victim Paul Schrade of Los Angeles who is currently spearheading efforts to reopen the RFK assassination case at the local, state or federal level, based in large part on the late-breaking revelations from the Pruszynski recording. The original CNN International interview with Dr. William F. Pepper was aired on television on May 16, 2008. http://search.cnn.com/search?type=video&sortBy=date&intl=false&query=RFK
