He’ll playing acoustic sessions with a strong quartet, gospel singers, and Spiritualized guitarist Doggen who will man a Fender Rhodes. I’m so happy I just ate out of my litterbox. They’ll play old stuff, old Spacemen 3 stuff, and new Spiritualized stuff.

I saw them do an acoustic in-store at Amoeba Records in San Francisco last tour, and it was fantastic. The guy playing the vibraphonekazoo was crying during “Hold On.” Crying. Check below for some acoustic Spiritualized to get an idea of what’s in store.

The latest on the next album… early 2007. Jason’s take on the new album: “The work of the devil… with a little guidance from me.”

Spiritualized – Stop Your Crying (Live at KCRW)
Spiritualized – Hold On (Live at KCRW)
Editors – Camera (Obscured by J Spaceman)
