Numbered Days is the second album of luminous, infectious noise-pop by Los Angeles' The Meeting Places. On their sophomore record the quartet has written ten new songs that craftily combine melodic indie-pop with the tremulous sound atmospheres first explored on their debut Find Yourself Along the Way (Words on Music, 2003). Numbered Days was recorded at the Ship by Jim Fairchild (Grandaddy, Earlimart). with ten songs clocking in at thirty-three minutes, Numbered Days evokes a leaner, more urgent approach to songwriting, in the spirit of the Jesus and Mary Chain's Dark lands or the Shins' Oh, Inverted World. The Meeting Place's renowned mastery of noise-pop shines through in the gorgeous melodies of 'Until It's Gone' and in the blistering, darker guitar work of 'Sink Into Stone' - two songs on different ends of the lyrical and sonic spectrum. The Meeting Places, never an end itself, only a means to an end. Album Tracks 1. Love Like the Movies 2. Until It's Gone 3. Nothing's the Same 4. Mumble 5. Hall of Fame 6. Sink Into Stone 7. Numbered Days 8. The City's Asleep 9. Pause 10. Cardboard Robot

1973 was a crucial year in the career of Elvis Presley. Riding high on the success of ELVIS ALOHA FROM HAWAII VIA SATELLITE, which was seen by over 1 BILLION people, Elvis did something remarkable. He chose to take control of his own business. He sold his future royalties to RCA and he started a new publishing company. No one would tell him what to do ever again. Elvis decided that his next recording project would be on his home turf at the red-hot STAX, the launching pad of such greats as Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Sam & Dave and Isaac Hayes. He assembled the very best musicians in town members of the MGs, the Memphis Boys and his own TCB band to create the ultimate band and he searched for fresh new material that would reflect his new path. Such songs as InchI Got a Feelin in My BodyInch And InchLoving ArmsInch demonstrate an artist looking to broaden his palette and his reach. The STAX material, an amazing chapter of Elvis career, has never been positioned as a whole body of work. Until now. Album Tracks 1. Promised Land 2. I've Got a Thing About You Baby 3.
