Hello friends of Beulah,

 

Since many of you have been asking about the status of Miles' solo album we thought this might be a good time for an update. Here's the good news: Miles is about 70% finished with the record. He just needs to add the vocals and some minor instrumentation. Now for the bad news: As was previously mentioned in the older news section, Miles had two surgeries on his shoulder in 2005/2006 which prevented him from playing guitar for about a year. Around this same time he was diagnosed with a disease of his large intestine/colon which has led to some problems with his kidney. After visiting the emergency room on 4/24, he was scheduled for surgery 48 hours later. Unfortunately there were some concerns with his blood work and the risk of cardiac arrest so his surgery was rescheduled for this past Friday. The surgery was a success and he's doing well. Here are a couple of pictures. The reason this is noteworthy is because Miles was scheduled to finish recording on April 30th. That said, all recording is canceled until he recovers.

 

Now for some happier news: Former Beulah bassist Steve LaFollette and his wife Kristy have a new baby girl named Emma. Congratulations to the LaFollette family.

 

Also, it seems Magnet Magazine has deemed "When Your Heartstrings Break" a lost indie classic along with records by Mazzy Star, Archers of Loaf, Neutral Milk Hotel among others. It's nice to know that something you record in your bedroom can be considered a classic a few years later. Now we know how Paris Hilton feels.

Beulah/Miles Kurosky: He And His Bloody Stump Are Alive

18 May 2007

When I first went to see San Francisco-based band Beulah, it was the fall of 1999 and on the tip of a small monthly print magazine. The venue, Oxford, England pub The Point, was small, sweltering, and packed with students from Wales who had made a day-trip for the show. On tour in support of sophomore album When Your Heartstrings Break, the band won over the crowd with a passionately off-the-rails set. This was the pre-blog/pre-Pitchfork age

well, you're going to have to come to my office & break my nose. i don't like it.

 

Yeah, I got his back over in the "The Wilco Sell Out" (picture JT, all in a tub of Heinz beans 'n' shit) thread, but In the Aeroplane is actually my number one most overrated album of all time. It's screechy, simplistic, and the imagistic lyrics don't do a thing for me.

The three things you list as being prime reasons to not like "In The Aeroplane Over The Sea" miss the one crucial reason it has so resonated: heart.

 

But back to Beulah, anyone else open this thread and wonder if they'd be getting on the reunion train too (albeit a little soon)? I discovered them about 2 months too late!

Great news on this Kurosky album finally seeing the light of day and Aeroplane is one of my favorite albums ever, I could listen to pretty much anything anyone from the E6 crew puts out for hours on end. Anyway thanks for sharing that article and the update.
