Ever since that all important release day back in January, Tim Presley's White Fence is out there, feedin' Larry's Hawk. This bird just can't seem to get un-famished! It's this search for satiation that is the underlying theme of the new "Forever Chained" video (directed by Sean McAnulty and Alex McLaren), which by the way, brings the total of visual accompaniments for I Have To Feed Larry's Hawk to five - a generous output that further illuminates the enigmatic messages of Tim...

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme - great ingredients for any homemade meal and who knows, maybe even an album title? Once upon a thyme, you might reply, but the world of yesteryear still speaks a lot to "America's Funnyman", Neil Hamburger, which is why Neil's brand new video from his latest LP, Still Dwelling, is a USDA Choice cut from 1966 and one of Simon & Garfunkel's greatest hits, "Homeward Bound."
