A member of Athletic Mic League and Now On, Ann Arbor native and longtime eclectic DJ/producer Andrew Cohen began recording soul-seeped material as something of a joke, not planning on it to reach beyond his circle of friends and family. Mayer Hawthorne, the pseudonym Cohen used for the songs, eventually took on a life of its own. When a couple Hawthorne songs were played for Peanut Butter Wolf, the Stones Throw label head was baffled; he initially thought he could have been hearing re-edits of obscure late-'60s/early-'70s soul singles, not the work of a multi-instrumentalist who laid everything down himself. Subsequently signed to Stones Throw, Cohen debuted Hawthorne with "Just Ain't Gonna Work Out" b/w "When I Said Goodbye," a pair of scratchy and bittersweet tales of heartache, on red, heart-shaped 7" vinyl. The "Maybe So, Maybe No" 12" followed shortly thereafter, which preceded the full-length A Strange Arrangement, released during fall 2009. After a live set (Stones Throw Direct to Disc #1) and a couple single releases, Hawthorne prepared his second album, How Do You Do, for Universal Republic. It was scheduled for release during fall 2011.

Personal Note

With my vinyl transfers, I try to catch the whole beauty of vinyl records; therefore I don't use any post-processing or any sound improvement. What you get is a clear and flat transfer. For getting a clear sound, I'll do an extended washing of each record with my RCM, which can take up to 30 minutes brushing on each side. Resistant ticks and clicks I try to remove as good as possible, but the priority is not to lose any musical information in the process. Surface noises, as long they are not too high, are left in place. Only on bad pressings or on records recorded at extremely low levels do I use a fade in-/-out. As John Peel said, "Life is full of surface noises." In some cases this means that I have to make a compromise.... The result has to pass my personal quality criteria, which is IMO quite high.

Never thought to see something from 'Stones Throw' here. Superb choice! Thanks

If you're unsure if you'll like it, youtube for 'Maybe So Maybe No'. Nice song for the summer.

Dear Askman

Why is there no post of this album on Hotfile? I followed you and DocRob to Hotfile when both of you moved away from RapidShare. It's just not possible to have premium accounts on every file serving host. I am sure a lot of us in this forum would love to ask this question, but have not done so out of fear of offending you. I look forward to all your posts but have recently been quite disheartened to only find you posting on FileFactory and FileSonic

Saw Hawthorne live outdoors somewhere last year, and just as the earlier lp it didn't quite do it for me. But now I listened to this, and aksman, thank you very much, I'm loving it!
