Last night, the record listening club reconvened after quite a long hiatus, mostly due to the Saxon Shore touring. We listened to some Asian LPs I’d collected, a Fluxus anthology, a weird high fidelity test record Willi$ had, and then tuned into the documentary Powaqqatsi. Kind of a weird mix of things. Ethan and I stopped off at the btv post office box. For months I’ve been smelling the aroma of donuts cooking near the 30th street station post office. For those outside of the area, this is one huge post office, the p.o. box area is open 24 hours a day 365 days a year, and it’s located right next to the highway and the 30th street train station. So, the aroma of donuts? Yes, Ethan confirmed the scent, but we don’t understand where, why, or how. Tonight, Saxon Shore hit the Knitting Factory in NYC. They’re playing in the Tap Bar on a four band bill that starts at 8. Hopefully I’ll see you there. :::scott:::

Pitchers and catchers are already at Spring Training Camp and the btv fantasy baseball leagues are underway. If team names like Ricky Hendersunn0))), Pelicanseco, Gagne West, gybjuanpierre, or the very terrible cat prior bring a smile to your face and you have indie rock cred (or are my dad), you should be in our league. Shoot off an e-mail and explain your situation for the chance to earn a coveted invite. Efterklang have sent off three songs for their one-sided LP and have a cover photo ready to go. There’s going to be a lot of vinyl this spring with one-sided LPs coming from Bosque Brown, Efterklang, and June Panic. Ethan and I are swearing (you listening Ethan?) that the Aspera etching will finally be done and this record will be out just in time for their new band, Favourite Sons, to displace the Arctic Monkey or whatever ridiculous reigning hipster band of the moment. Also, a special treat…Unwed Sailor’s The Faithful Anchor will be out on vinyl in a special 180g version. It’s our first in extra heavy vinyl and it will impress. I think the one-sided LP for Isolation Years is just around the corner, as well. Krister…
Happy Birthday to Adam, Carrie, Courtney, and Matthew. I’m back from some birthday celebrations and a dance party of sorts hosted by Danae and Emily in the West Philadelphia. It was great to see lots of good friends who were in attendance. I took the train up to New York last night for the first time in a long time to see my good friend Brian who was up from Austin. We’ve been friends since high school, so it’s always good to meet up. Our other friends Dave and Kate from Jersey (by way of Austin) met up with us for a long night of catching up. Jeremy Dybash is our expert etcher for the one-sided LPs and is going to finish up the etchings for Bosque Brown, June Panic, and Unwed Sailor shortly. Ethan and I are going to sort out the new B side for the Aspera one-sided LP and finally get this thing out. It’s been way way way too long and the world needs to hear these amazing songs. :::scott:::
