I second this motion. Supposedly he lives in Venice Beach, only plays percussion these days, and maybe sometimes busks but I've never seen him.

By the way, there is also another release on Vallellano & The Royal Gypsy Orchestra's Bandcamp, which has participation by Steve Shelley on drums/percussion:

The other day I came across a review of the latest Christmas record by She & Him (Zooey Deschanel & M. Ward), which mentioned there is participation by Steve Shelley on that album. If someone would recapitulate in which releases Steve was involved in during this year (besides Sonic Youth reissues and Sonic Youth archival releases), I would be very appreciative.

Thanks for the tip about Steve being on the She & Him record! I hadn't heard it cuz I wasn't thrilled with the last Christmas record they did, but I'll check it out before the season's through.

Sonic 2017: According to Feeding Tube Records', the release date for Thurston Moore & Phil X. Milstein's "Songs We Taught The Lord" volume I & II, is February 10th, 2017.
