"Isle Of" - JENNY HOYSTON LP/CD Southern Records has released this collection of 7 bedroom recordings, 4 studio recordings w/Detroit engineer Collin Dupuis and 1 recording made w/Portland engineer Christina Files. This is a quirky, genre-crossing collection of pieces. The reviews have been crazy positive (Rolling Stone gave it 3.5 stars out of 4!?). Find it at Aquarius or Amoeba or order directly from Southern.com
**"Don't Worry" Its not a recording, its a zine! I made the first issue last winter. Its about dating, list making and consciously constructing a good life. Awesome writers contributed, like TARA JEPSEN, LISA CHARBONNEAU and MICHELLE TEA(!). You can order a copy through myspace!
**"Seeing Spots" - PARADISE ISLAND CD - on Lattitudes (UK) label! This 4-song CD contains darkly melodic, vox/guitar/Mattel drum machine tracks recorded live or near-live with HARVEY BIRRELL at Southern Studios in London one afternoon during the last Jenny Hoyston's Paradise Island UK/EU tour. This will be the "highest-fi" you've heard from me (usually all 4Track all the time). Limited edition 1000, brown on brown hand-printed covers with my sketch art. Myspace msg me if you want to order it, no matter where you live.
**"The Hallways of Always" - WILLIAM ELLIOT WHITMORE & JENNY HOYSTON CD duets and other music produced by LUKE TWEEDY (the Shadow Government) - out on Southern. Smoke grass then cry - really pretty. You can mail order it from me here!
**Lines Are Infinately Fine - PARADISE ISLAND CD/LP - first solo full length, all 4 track cassette bedroom recordings - still my favorite release! You can mail order it from me here!
**Get Up - PARADISE ISLAND 7" and CD EP - three songs. Includes the John the Baptist cover that everyone loves... You can mail order this from me here!
**"Keep the Fuzz Off My Buzz: Let's Be Active" DVD! Documentary about the tour Jenny Hoyston's Paradise Island did with William Elliot Whitmore, MC JARRETT Hillarious and FT (the Shadow Government). Co-released by Sickroom and Modern Radio, includes audio CD. Order from label.
**"Night Life" ERASE ERRATA CD/LP - OUT on Kill Rock Stars (US), Pop Frenzy (Aus/NZ) and Disc Union (Japan)! Everyone's saying its EE's best. Order from label.
**The first 2 Erase Errata records seem to be out of print...?

ETC:
"From a certain perspective, Jenny Hoyston is one of San Francisco's unsung talents. Sure, her achievements in Erase Errata have been well documented and internationally appreciated, but consider the whole woman, not just the guitar/trumpet/vox monster. Musical projects abound, including the ukulele-driven Paradise Island and other solo projects as well as the recent CD Hallways of Always with friend William Elliott Whitmore. But at the monthly queer-friendly literary night K'vetsh, Hoyston goes Renaissance woman to become a writer and editor as well. Who knew? Her ..zine, Don't Worry, is subtitled "You're Breaking Up" this issue, and includes contributions by Michelle Tea, Tara Jepsen, and lots of other locals."

Check out a clip of me doing a very booz-y dead cover at the opening of the Her Noise exhibit at South London Gallery. There's also a warm up impromptu jam session between me, Kim Gordon and Jutta Koether: http://www.thewire.co.uk/web/camera.php
