Happy Thanksgiving a little bit late. I’ve just posted the images for the Starflyer 59 Ghosts of the Future poster, t-shirt, and box related to the 7″ box set. We’ll be taking orders for these things momentarily. The posters will be 25″ x 38″ on some nice paper stock, suitable for framing. They will be hand-screened by the kind folks at HYMY Industries who have been designing and printing the 7″ covers with the same custom blended metallic ink. We’ll be shipping them in tubes, rolled up to keep them protected. These will ship in time for the holidays. The t-shirts will be four hand-pulled screened images on organic cotton fitted American Apparel shirts for the smaller sizes (S/M/L) and non-fitted pre-shrunk 100% cotton t-shirts in the XL sizes.

I’ve really been won over by the RSS feed reading function of the new version of Safari and want to deliver this ability to everyone. :::scott:::

Steven R. Smith is the latest addition to the btv one-sided LP series. He has a fairly prolific musical pedigree and has been releasing more experimental guitar instrumental records under his own names, some brilliant Eastern European influenced song as Hala Strana, and will be releasing a three album series as Ulaan Kohl for Soft Abuse. He also recorded as/with the bands Thuja and Mirza. My good friend Ethan shared some Hala Strana with me and it set me on a quest for his music. mewithoutYou are on tour with Thrice and Brand New and have vinyl copies of Brother, Sister with them. See you at the Emperor X, Niagara Falls, Papertrigger show tomorrow, 17 November, at Circle Broad and Washington, 1125 S. Broad. 8:30pm. $6. I was hoping to have copies of Emperor X’s The Blythe Archives Volume One one-sided LP ready for the show, but it’s going to be another couple of weeks. Chad spent a long time on the artwork and it’s pretty awesome. I’ve always wanted to do all-text artwork and these covers are really interesting looking.
