Happy National Doughnut Day! I plan to celebrate with a Yum Yum Donut Peanut Butter Cup, peanut butter filling with chocolate icing and peanuts. Tomorrow, The Commissioner, Ethan, and maybe Cakeator will belatedly celebrate with some delicious treats at the Doughnut Plant in NYC en route to see William Basinski play at the ISSUE Project Room in Brooklyn. Visit The Blognut for updates on all things doughnut. Unwed Sailor is still on tour, be sure to see them when they rock through your town. Yndi Halda are going to be in the US to tour. They’re arriving in late July and staying through most of August. Dates are in the process of being booked. Emperor X is going to be at the M Room in Philadelphia next Thursday, 12 June. Do not miss him if you live in the city. :::scott:::

Foxhole is the band of the week on the What to Wear During an Orange Alert blog. There’s also a short interview with Foxhole. Foxhole is tentatively planning a short tour at the beginning of May that should loop down through the south from their Bowling Green/Nashville base. Test pressings for Unwed Sailor’s Little Wars are good and the vinyl should be on track for their touring efforts in late March/April. The vinyl is a 2xLP with 2 additional tracks as the second LP. This will also come with a digital download certificate good for a free mp3 download of all tracks on the vinyl version. Emperor X is planning some dates in late February and throughout the spring to support The Blythe Archives Volume One and preview some material from the other Blythe Archives. Dr. Randall Stephens (of Jetenderpaul fame) has his first book out from the Harvard University Press. The book is based on his doctoral thesis and explores the history of Pentacostalism and the Holiness movement in the United States and their affect on American culture. He’s a history professor in Boston at the moment and there are still plans for recording more Jetenderpaul material. :::scott:::
