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:::

I feel like I’m really behind on updates here. I went to Boston this weekend and stayed with Randall from Jetenderpaul. There is a 9 min Jetenderpaul epic that may find itself on a 7″ very soon. We’ll see. Thanks to Randall and Beth for being great hosts. Unwed Sailor are doing a few dates with The Appleseed Cast and Murder By Death before they go off for a month in Europe. Dates are posted on the site now. Also, the UK dates of the tour are with A Lily which is James from Yndi Halda. I’ll have the A Lily record added to the online store shortly, it is one of the best ambient records I’ve heard in a long time. Seriously. I’m off to Chicago for some Hott Dougs this weekend. See you there. :::scott:::

I’m all about Emperor X ever since I saw the show in Philadelphia a couple months back. I’ve been listening to Central Hug/Friend Army/Fractal Dunes on Discos Mariscos. You can hear some of his songs on the Emperor X myspace page. Anyhow, Chad is working on a series of recordings called “The Blythe Archives” and one of the releases in the series will be a one-sided LP for Burnt Toast Vinyl. Yndi Halda has finished the audio for Enjoy Eternal Bliss and it should be mastered this week. The artwork is also finished, too, and I’ll be organizing it to send off to the printer for the US/UK versions. Oliver Chapoy from Saxon Shore was once a member of Shai Halud. ’nuff said. Does this prove their hardcore cred? I’m going to Boston to visit the great Dr. Randall from Jetenderpaul. There will be rumors and rumblings of future recordings, I am sure…Are they the most awesome btv band that you’ve never heard? Quite possibly. :::scott:::
