Props to Dave Fridmann who was nominated for a grammy with The Flaming Lips for their engineering work on At War With The Mystics. Fridmann engineered, mixed, and produced Saxon Shore’s The Exquisite Death of Saxon Shore and is good people. We’ve been a little overwhelmed with all of the orders for Yndi Halda’s Enjoy Eternal Bliss but should be caught up on Monday or Tuesday. Pre-orders for the Questions in Dialect and Soporus cdeps will be going out then as well. See you at the RUBA for X/V tonight. Willi$ from Saxon Shore/Soporus and Matt from Saxon Shore will be rocking some DJ sets in honor of our friend Dawn’s birthday. Happy birthday. :::scott:::

The dates for Unwed Sailor touring January and February are up. There are a couple of holes that will probably get filled in shortly. Props and high fives to Bojan for making the magic happen. I also updated Yndi Halda’s tour for December in the UK. If you live there, you have no excuse for missing them play. Hope you enjoy the video for Foxhole’s “Wesley” that I posted tonight. Order up some copies of Push/Pull and the other cdep selections for the very best in holiday gift giving. I keep watching the Winter Meetings and am hoping that the Phillies will actually do something. I’m encouraged by the Dodgers getting Jason Schmidt and (gyb) Juan Pierre. Hopefully they don’t waste their prospects on the whining Manny. Oh, and I’m done cheering for the Tigers when they add Gary Sheffield to their roster. :::scott:::
Congratulations to Liz and El who were married this weekend. I was in Austin for the celebration. It was great seeing a bunch of old friends. I spent Sunday night and Monday hanging out with everyone from Bosque Brown in Denton and Ft. Worth. Thanks to Winston, Jeremy, Mara, and Ryan for showing me around. I had a lot of bad luck on the trip, forgetting my phone, getting into a hit and run accident on the highway, leaving my ipod, and missing a return flight, but the rest of the trip was great. I got some Dublin Dr. Pepper, was introduced to the magic of breakfast tacos, and had some tasty barbeque. It’s always good to visit Texas. I saw Stranger Than Fiction yesterday and really enjoyed it, especially the Max Richter contributions to the soundtrack. Definitely one of Will Farrell’s best roles. I will be posting some new dates for Unwed Sailor in January and February shortly. They’ve figured out the touring band and will be ready to rock! The Soporus and Questions in Dialect cdeps have also arrived and will start shipping to pre-orders shortly. Special thanks to Matthew for being my shipping slave! :::scott:::
