            <link>http://lewisfranco.com/news.html#5</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>Lewis Franco &amp; The Missing Cats have a new CD coming out some time soon, probably April or May of 2011.&nbsp; We finished recording with Colin McCaffrey <a href="http://www.colinmccaffrey.com">www.colinmccaffrey.com</a> &nbsp;at his studio&nbsp;in early December.&nbsp; He was stupendous, as always.&nbsp; Then we mastered the thing at Lane Gibson's <a href="http://www.lanegibson.com">www.lanegibson.com</a> .&nbsp;</p><br /><p>We put one of the&nbsp;tunes on the Songs page of this website for you to download for free and have as your very own.&nbsp; Or stream.&nbsp; It's also&nbsp;available in low-fi in case you have weak stream.&nbsp; Ha, ha.&nbsp;It's called Slapstick Comedy, based on a true story of Lewis&nbsp;falling off of an 8-foot retaining wall last May (it was pitch dark, he didn't know it was there, don't give him a hard time, ok?).&nbsp; Hope you like it.&nbsp; If you want to get in line for a CD, send an email to <a href="mailto:lewis@lewisfranco.com">lewis@lewisfranco.com</a> .</p>]]></description>
