Todd Brown from Twitch Film braved the border crossing and arrived from Canada last night. He’s a walking encyclopedia of Asian film. Rosie and Witmer cleared up the Sufjan baby joke far too soon for his fan site, shame on you both. Saxon Shore are squaring off against Gregor Samsa in round 2 of the Decoy Music post-rock competition. I have to admit I really like Gregor Samsa’s 55:12, but war is war and the Saxons need your vote. Register and vote away. Yndi Halda will be competing tomorrow. Keep up the voting. Saxon Shore are playing MACRoCk tonight in Harrisonburg, VA at Court Square Theater. :::scott:::

Bosque Brown was nominated for 4 Dallas Observer music awards this year: Best Song “Still Afraid” Best Female Singer Best New Act Best Folk/Acoustic Emperor X! Wow, what a fun show last night! Ethan and I went to bask in the lo-fi indie pop brilliance. Later, we met up with Ben, Emil, Dan, Elin, and Steph to pick up Ben and get some of the Serena Maneesh gear. We showed Ben how good a Philadelphia pretzel can taste at 1am when it’s fresh off the conveyor belt. Todd is arriving from Canada today. We’re all set to see the Danielson Famile documentary on Sunday at the Prince Theater. If you’re in Philadelphia, it’s the place to be on Sunday night. Even Ben Volta will be there. :::scott:::
Saxon Shore won in the first round of the Decoymusic.com post-rock tournament yesterday. Yndi Halda is in the running today, go vote for them. Congratulations to Sufjan and Rosie on their upcoming new project as reported by Pitchfork…happy parenting you lovebirds. Many thanks to Commissioner Stone who slaved away weeding, raking, and mulching most of the day yesterday. He is my lawn wrangling hero. Tom, Brit, and I wandered over to Temple’s Ambler campus to see Denison play in what seemed to be their student center. It was a super early show with Denison headlining at 7pm. After, we kidnapped him and somehow ended up playing trivia at the Drafting Room later in the night. As the Sleepers, in celebration of Denison’s forthcoming ep Are You a Sleeper?, we finished in the middle of the pack. He was also able to confirm the Pitchfork rumors. Tonight, Ben Sand and Todd Brown are coming to Philadelphia! Also, a don’t miss event: Emperor X (Mountain Goats with drum machines?, it’s got the Shrimper indie pop sound) Franklin Delano (creeky folk music from Italy) Jon Felton and his Soulmobile 1125 S. Broad in Philadelphia. $6, 8:30pm. Red Sparowes has had some gear stolen…
