A special congratulations to Dr. Randall Stephens of Jetenderpaul. He successfully defended his doctorate thesis at University of Florida. This only goes to prove that jtp is one of the most intelligent bands in all of indie rock. :::scott:::

I am excited to read about Nomo’s four hitter as the Dodgers opened up their season with a big 8-0 victory. And Nomo’s on one of my fantasy baseball teams, so that helped a lot. Randall (of Tidal Wave Magazine and Jetenderpaul) sent me a special tour promo DVD with the new Sigur Ros video from the first untitled track on their ( ) album. I haven’t seen such a beautiful and haunting video in recent memory. Elementary school children are getting ready for recess as their teacher makes sure that they are ready to go. Then, they leave the building in their gas masks as they enter a sort of apocalyptic chemical wasteland to play. All with the ethereal, dreamlike music playing. It’s looking like there will be a double 10″ version of Starflyer 59’s new album “Old” (with extra tracks) out on btv in the US… :::scott:::

I’ve added several new releases to the catalog, including the new Loch Ness Mouse album, Key West. This is the sophomore full-length from my friends in Norway and was released in Europe on Perfect Pop records and in the US on Happy Happy Birthday to Me. Beautiful indie pop stuff. Loch Ness Mouse and Jetenderpaul still have a split release set for Animal World Recordings in the near future. New releases include the new AM/FM cdep and the Jets to Brazil full-length; the new Godspeed You! Black Emperor album is also available for pre-order from the store. I updated dates for Denison Witmer’s tour on Monday night. By the way on 22 October, he’s playing a David Eggers Book Signing in Columbia, MO. I just finished his new book, You Shall Know Our Velocity, on the plane to London and it was truly amazing. A great travel and buddy story, very appropriate for the trip. Denison is also doing in-store performances in Tempe, AZ and Omaha, NE, so if you’re around those cities, be sure to stop in… :::scott:::
