Brendan James checked in with fans on his blog at MySpace (@brendanjames) on Monday (August 23), discussing the press he has been doing in New York City, where he resides, in support of his self-titled second album, out September 7th on Decca Records. The singer songwriter tells readers:

Press, press, press..
Just got back to the west coast after an action packed week in nyc. Met with the folks at People Magazine and US Weekly, had some great interviews with CNN.com! and the San Francisco Examiner..(That was by phone:)

Also got to perform live on Better TV and for the VEVO staff, which were both pretty low key and fun.
Then attended VH1’s Save the Music event at Bowlmor lanes. (Cool to hang a bit with the Plain White T’s after they performed for us all). Thanks to all the hardworking people at my label and beyond for these great opportunities.

Oh and forgot to mention the best moment of the week- holding a real copy of the new album in my hand after the first shipment arrived to Decca.
A labor of love completed.

Brendan James updated fans on his blog at MySpace (@brendanjames) on Friday (July 17), talking about how he’s been spending time before heading to Los Angeles to record the follow-up to his 2008 debut ‘The Day Is Brave’. The Derry, New Hampshire singer songwriter tells readers:

I just got back yesterday from a great retreat to Charleston, where I was writing, hanging with friends, and becoming addicted to riding a motorcycle. (yep, thanks to the Vespa tour, I can’t seem to stay off two wheels these days) Lovin it. And I think I’ll be chillin in Brooklyn for another week before setting up camp in LA for the record. I just wanted to touch base and see how everyone was and see whats new! I keep thinking about you all while I’m writing this new record so thank you for all of your positive thoughts and messages! I really enjoy hearing from you. More to come!

Brendan James checked in with fans on his ilike.com page with a video recorded in England. “I’m in London recording my second album,” the singer songwriter says. “I decided to make a quick video showing you all my place in London and my morning trip to the studio. This video shows my trip to the studio… the next will show some stuff from inside the studio. Not super exciting but I figured I’d share it with anyone interested :-)”

Video at ilike.com has since been removed.

Brendan James updated his MySpace friends (@brendanjames) on Friday (January 2) with the following bulletin:

2008 was a whirlwind and I’m still in disbelief that its over since it went so fast but I think its going to be an amazing year.

It’s hard to think 2009 could top 2008 but with London around the corner and the Mayercraft and all of the new music I’ve been in the studio recording, it’s hard not think this year will top the last.

I’m really just anxious to get the new music to you to hear what you think?

I want to thank each and everyone of you again for being a part of this experience with me, I’m looking forward to catching up with you through here, Facebook, MySpace, and our team page before I go off to London, I owe lots of you letters and thank you’s so please be patient with me, I’m workin on em one by one!!

As always, love to hear all of your great ideas on where to play, fun places to visit, and more, you’ve all been a huge inspiration to me.
Here’s to a great 2009 together!!!

Peace and Love,

B
