The site has been updated to have information on all of our newest releases. Denison Witmer’s Philadelphia Songs cd version has been added to the on-line store.
I knew it was a glorious afternoon, in spite of the overcast sky, when I arrived home and found the long-awaited package from Norway filled with vinyl treats. I carefully placed the new White Trash Inc. (Orchestra) 7″ Pet Cats Get 2000 Credits on the turntable. The A side consists of a live show from late summer 2001 in two segments “If You’re Not on my Called ID I Don’t Want to Talk To You” and “Corporate Conglomerates are the Root of All Evil” (featuring Orlando Greenhill on screamy “spray-opera” vocals), the reverse side being “The Dynamic of Film (Silver Screen Remix)” which was remixed by Matthew Chinn of Frolic (Projekt Records). Also in the package was Soul Junk’s 1939 7″, another special treat from Norway. Oh glorious noise! The on-line store will be the only place to get these in the US for a while…
Denison and The Trouble with Sweeney have two more shows together this week before parting ways to continue on their on separate tours.
Denison now has the covers for his tour-only live cds, so be sure to see him play and pick up a copy of the cd. It features songs recorded from his Autumn 2001/Spring 2002 tours with guitarist Matt Stone and The Six Parts Seven. All songs were recorded direct to MiniDisc and un-edited. The disc features a couple of originals unavailable on any currently released albums, as well as two cover songs also unavailable. The live versions of many of these songs differ from the originally recorded versions, so this makes for a special cd for the Denison Witmer fan.
24 Hour Party People was no longer playing at the theater, so I saw One Hour Photo instead, the creepy Robin Williams movie where he plays a slightly crazy stalker character who works at a one hour photo stand in a department store. The cinematography was stunning, all of the varied colors and strange scene fade ins and fade outs. The plot was much more restrained than what the previews and ads may suggest, but I think that made for more surprises. Oh well, I’m no movie critic. It was worth the price of admission.
