I just don’t know where to start with everything. I just got back from Europe a few hours ago and it feels like it’s been a lot longer than just a week I’ve been away. First, The Trouble with Sweeney : I Know You Destroy was #1 in another year end top 10 list, this time from the Tuscon Weekly. TTWS will be recording a new ep shortly, featuring the following five songs: The Amazing Malcolm Smith and His Off-Roading Motorcycle (A Girl Called) Young Song Evelyn Rochman The City Let Me I Hope Your Sleep Is Dreamless and enhanced video clips for “Karen” and “Surrey Is A Word I Hardly Ever Use” off I Know You Destroy. No word on the official release date and name of the ep. Denison Witmer’s Philadelphia Songs will be released in Europe this spring through Sweden’s Bad Taste Records. The deals have all been set and the actual release date and details will be made known shortly.

It kept me out of the cold. We did manage to work in some record shopping at a couple of stores. Arrangements are getting more and more final for Mara Miller to record her Bosque Brown album with Eric Fisher, Damien Jurado, and friends in Seattle. It’s looking more like a release for this Autumn. The Trouble with Sweeney are readying songs for a Spring single release that will be a preview for their Autumn full-length. Denison Witmer is talking recording time again, too, but no firm details yet. I’m off to Italy for a week on Friday night with a weekend stop in each direction in Amsterdam. Maybe I can escape the bitter cold that’s just…
The Trouble with Sweeney : I Know You Destroy! has made it onto a couple of Amplifier magazine music critics’ top 10 lists, a writer from the Philadelphia Weekly’s top 10, and in top local albums for the Philadelphia City Paper. More support for the theory that this is one amazing record. I’m off to DC tonight to visit Randall from Jetenderpaul. We will be partying down. :::scott:::
