I’m in France after spending a few days in Amsterdam. Friday night, a bunch of us went to see Pedro the Lion play in an extremely weird show for me. There was only one band and the show started on the exact time printed on the ticket. Apparently neither is that strange. This Sunday, I’ll be seeing Cat Power, so I’ll let you know how that show works, too. It’s at 4pm on a Sunday, so that’s already weird to me.
My luggage got lost on the way to France and my rental car and hotel reservations didn’t go through. I found out it was a holiday weekend, so no work on Monday, then, and no way to get a car because of the holiday and a bunch of peopel getting cars due to some labor strikes. I did find a hotel to pick me up at the airport, so I wasn’t homeless. My luggage showed up a day later so I could stop trying to not smell up my clothers in the hopes that they would last enough for me to wear them to work.
Denison is car sitting for me in exchange for picking up all american radio : fragments of cds and Early Day Miners LP jackets today. Apparently someone scratched it up a bit while they were parallel parking. I guess I’m missing the excitement that Denison gets to experience. It’s easy to be calm about these things when you’re so far away.
Unwed Sailor books should be arriving soon. I haven’t heard any final confirmation, but my friends are on the lookout to meet up with the truck.
The Trouble with Sweeney fell ten spots on the CMJ top 200 to #74, but re-entered the CMJ Core charts at #66. Unwed Sailor moved up 18 spots to #85. So, keep listening for these releases on your local college station. Saxon Shore : Four Months of Darkness has been serviced to CMJ station and is going for ads next week. We’ll see if we can have three records in the top 100 at the same time.
There is a new Reels of White Softly Flow LP underway in time for early July that Broken Factory will be putting out. Zaxxon Matt is in control.
