Denison Witmer was #138 on the CMJ top 200 this week, up 61 spots. Thanks to everyone at college radio for playing Philadelphia Songs. There’s also a great review of Philadelphia Songs in the new issue of the Philadelphia City Paper. The Trouble with Sweeney have decided to cancel their autumn tour. Joey and Reyna just bought a new house that apparently has land deed to another property. In any case, lots of troubles to sort out and an overly hectic month ahead of them. The band will hopefully pick back up on most of the same dates in January and February 2003. Ester Drang’s Goldenwest will be released in Europe by Swiss label Gentlemen Records in November. The band is also going into the studio in November to record their full-length. It looks like things are set for an 11 March release date now. Speaking of release dates, the Early Day Miners one-sided LP will be released on 4 February to stores and the Aspera one-sided LP will be released on 4 March to stores, both through Secretly Canadian distribution.

Happy Birthday Scott C. who turns 29 today. Denison Witmer will be playing at The Evening Music in Charlotte, NC on Sunday. The show was previously listed as TBA, but has been confirmed.

The Early Day Miners LP should be available in stores in December or January, depending on how fast the artwork is ready. The AM/FM holiday one-sided LP should also be ready in time for December, if everything goes according to plan. By the way, on 19 October, Early Day Miners will be playing in Philadelphia in a show that I’ve set up. More details as soon as the venue is confirmed. :::scott:::
I’ve finally re-ordered Burnt Toast Vinyl t-shirts in both black and red in sizes small through extra large. They should be ready next week or so. The new website that is being designed has red as one of the main colors, so I thought new shirts should mimic that scheme. I am also sending the master and artwork for Ester Drang’s Goldenwest cd to Gentlemen Records in Switzerland who will be issuing the album for release in Europe. So, the release should be more easily available in Europe once the cds are pressed by Gentlemen. By the way, Unwed Sailor is touring in Europe with a band from Gentlemen Records, Toboggan. I keep following the Dodgers’ race for the wild-card bid in the National League. There is still hope, but time is slowly running out. :::scott:::
