6 June 2001		Dreamers and Drifters/Ozark Mountain Press Releases ---BREAKING NEWS--- Two new Blue Owl albums! See liner notes below! RELEASED JUNE 6, 2001--- Mike Maloney - Dreamers and Drifters As I write this paragraph, it's been just about two years since my first release (Science and Leisure, 1999). To me, Dreamers and Drifters is a much more personalized album, meaning that many of the lyrics reference actual themes and occurrences in my life at the time of its release. The title itself reflects a winding road of aging - one that represents uncertainty about reaching a goal of a harmonious life or a sense of satisfaction. As for the instrumentation, I can only say that I was looking for sounds that struck me as interesting. I hope that you'll take an interest as well, and enjoy listening to this album. Farewell. Miqûe - Ozark Mountain Miqûe [my-cue] journey's to the northern highlands and its peak, Ozark Mountain. Miqûe normally stays in the Moldavian forest hiking daily through its paths observing its hunkery dunkery. Sometimes he gets into a little hunkery dunkery himself, like when he slept in old Sara Nags cottage and she came back from her hermitage early. She'll never let him forget that one. Mique doesn't sleep anywhere in particular but mainly under cone trees. Hiking Ozark mountain is Miqûe's idea of a break, though rigorous, but unassuming Mique doesn't know what's to come. Nor, do you. ~ David A. Townsend
10 May 2001		'When You Coming Down' - New Vocals! Uploaded a new version of an old song. Well, it should be said that its pretty far along anyway. 'When You Coming Down', complete with redid vocals, is available in its entirety for download and streaming audio in the AUDIBLES section.
10 April 2001		Audio back. All the tunes are there now. Whew!
9 April 2001		Site's been down for a week, here's why.... Well, it's about time. There has been no Blue Owl Site in more than a week, and many apologies for that. There are still issues to be worked out, but not to worry. An extensive amount of lyrics are being assembled and will be available soon. All the sound clips are in fact not available. This is getting out of hand. We'll be in touch.
2 April 2001		Audio updated Well, I dont believe it myself, but all of the old audio clips are uploaded, with a great deal more to come. Nonetheless there is an excellent cross-section of Blue Owl Records represented in the AUDIBLES section. Please, do enjoy.
16 March 2001		Video capture hardware arrives! Computer all better, and video equipment has arrived. However, the machine isn't ready for digital video just yet, it should be a while yet. More good news. The samples for every song listed in the AUDIBLES section were ready for upload when they got deleted from a local machine. Very sad. Oh well. The video is going to be awesome, so please be patient, kind and dedicated fans.
26 February 2001		Dead Computer part 2 I really am sick of killing my computer, yet I can't seem to stop doing it. As my confidence level rises, so does the risk to all the important data on the machine. The audio streams in the AUDIBLES section are a great way to acqaint yourself with Blue Owl Records. The hardware to digitize video will arrive shortly, as will the video clips to this site. Come back and watch...
15 February 2001		General Site updates The first significant update of the new year. Pitiful... Little things: if you Add to Favorites now in Internet Explorer, a little Blue Owl icon will represent us. Nice touch! Some new links in the OTHER... section. It had been a long time coming, but streaming real audio is now available in the AUDIBLES section. Give a listen and download the mp3 version of the samples. Streaming video is next, so stay tuned!

4 December 2000		Blue Owl 3.0 launch Voila! New Blue Owl Web Site! Just like that! I bet you thought the webmaster was sleeping on the job. We've got brand new photographs and sound clips... I could go on and on, but I'd rather not.
21 August 2000		Dead Computer update Goodness gracious. For whatever reason, the webmaster decided that he was skilled enough to upgrade his computer, himself, with an additional hard drive. Needless to say, the whole darn system was in a state of extreme confusion for a while, not even booting Windows. Very ugly. But... He figured it out, everything is fine, in fact, the computer is so muscled out now that some serious video editing capabilities and whatnot is a palpable reality. Expect some video clips available exclusively through blueowlrecords.com from the annals of the Blue Owl catalog very soon.
8 August 2000		Dead Computer Dead computer...I'd really rather not talk about it...More info later...
17 July 2000		New audio clips Enjoy ten new audio clips from the revamped and remastered "Best of..." Blue Owl Records in the SOUNDS section. The songs have been digitally cleaned up and archived for all of history to share. We believe there's something special in these tunes, so go ahead and sample the wares.

The SIGHTS section has larger versions of some great Blue Owl record covers and pictures, and the SOUNDS section is booming with new audio files from Blue Owl's illustrious past. The Haulers have recently embarked on an important project crafting a new record by summer's end. The pressure's on, but have no fear. Rob Cosentino of Nonsuch Productions is producing the sessions, which promise to be their best yet. Stay tuned, kids!
23 February 2000		Digitization of Blue Owl audio We're just truckin' along with the mass digitization of the entire Blue Owl catalog. Currently, there is about 8 gigabytes of audio files, around 3/5's of the total discography, to sort through and polish and hone and shine and sparkle and present for you, our eager yet patient listening public. It is this labor of love that maintains our heading. The genesis of the Blue Owl STORY has been presented for you, as well as a descriptive SIGHTS section that heads on back through the years. The RealAudio formats of the newly-digitized songs have finally been uploaded to the SOUNDS section. Thanks for checking in!
30 January 2000		New songs/album covers uploaded Oh my lord. Blue Owl Records now has the capability to move the mountains and the seas. A very powerful computer and digital audio interface gives us the ability to archive the entire Blue Owl discography and reproduce them on compact disc. The web page is updated after a lengthy hiatus. The SIGHTS section for a glimpse at our beautiful faces and snazzy album covers. There are NINE recently-digitized, historically-representative, and brilliantly produced songs in the SOUNDS section. Have fun!

Expect the web page to undergo an extreme (and very welcome) makeover.

2 December 1999		Blue Owl Records: Hits From the Twentieth Century Announcement The 30-song retrospective CD, tentatively titled Blue Owl Records: Hits From the Twentieth Century, is now on the front burner. The purchase of the proper equipment for its' production is currently underway, with plans to release the LP a month or two into the new year. The CD will include classic songs from every Blue Owl release, spanning a total of five years of unforgettable albums. The page will be updated frequently to keep everyone up to speed on the CD's progress. This music will promise to blow minds.
15 November 1999		New Project - Sal's Apartment A new theater project is a play called Sal's Apartment - a riveting drama sprinkled with humor that could speak volumes about life and labor. Projected release: December 1999.
11 November 1999		Update : 30-song retrospective CD in the planning stages The big wigs at Blue Owl are currently in heated negotiations about what songs will be included on an upcoming 30-song retrospective CD covering the years 1995-99. Difficult choices are being made, I can tell you.
8 November 1999		Winter/Spring is always the productive time of year for Blue Owl Records. Drop us a line in the CONTACT section or keep a-comin' back to the NEWS section for updates.
1 November 1999		The Haulers' Cornucopia was officially released this past June. Hop to the SOUNDS section for full .ra song files from that album now available for free download. Also new to the site is a 3 min. Cornucopia sampler.
