I went with Matt and Ben to see Rosie Thomas play last night at World Cafe. Johnathon from Unwed Sailor is on tour as Rosie’s bassist, so we got to hang out before, during, and after the show. I’m running a little low on sleep, but will try to get caught up tonight because tomorrow, I’m helping put on a show with Half-Handed Cloud, Vollmar, and Lenny Smith. It starts at 8 above Circle Thrift, 2007 Frankford Ave. in Philadelphia. See you there! Crap! I just got an e-mail saying that a bunch of Rosie’s stuff was stolen last night in Philadelphia. Go home town! If you see this stuff, spread the word back to me or Rosie or Denison or anyone in the band: Rosie: 1) Takamine cutaway acoustic guitar normal looking brown w/ black pick guard electronics cut into the top of the guitar. The inner storage area of the case had a purple handmade bracelet in it. There were also notes in the case under the guitar. Case was black with fragile stickers all over it. 2) Boss tuner pedal Johnathon: 1) Fender P-Bass – 1975-78 – Brown Body, Black Pick Guard: one piece of pick guard…

Everyone has left my house after a busy few days. I had everyone making LPs for me on Monday to help me get caught up on distribution. Redeye is going to distribute several LPs with the first batch hitting on 16 May. Starflyer 59’s Portugues Blues one-sided LP and Talking Voice Vs. Singing Voice LP, Ester Drang’s Pleasure Themes and Get Rich Schemes, and The Six Parts Seven Attitudes of Collapse will all be out then. This will be the first time to get those Starflyer vinyl releases in a record store near you. Soporus has just created a myspace page that features 3 songs, 2 of which can be downloaded. They will be one of the bands on the 4 way 2xLP split release. Johnathon Ford is coming to Philadelphia tomorrow as part of Rosie Thomas’ band who are playing at World Cafe Live. Maybe I’ll see you there. I’m helping put on a show with Half-Handed Cloud (Asthmatic Kitty/Sounds Familyre), Vollmar (BlueSanct), and Lenny Smith (Sounds Familyre) above Circle Thrift at 2007 Frankford Ave in Philadelphia this Saturday. Come on out for some fun. :::scott:::
It’s been a busy weekend. Ben, Jess, Todd, and Rich have all been visiting. I saw The Devil and Daniel Johnston as part of the Philadelphia Film Festival on Saturday. It gave me a new respect for Daniel Johnston and was one of the best rock documentaries I’ve ever seen. Thanks to everyone who showed up on Saturday night for the festivities. Sunday, a lot of us met up to see Danielson: A Family Movie as part of the Film Festival. It was great to see everyone and hang out after. My friend Todd just posted a review of it on his Twitch Film website. :::scott:::
