It’s been a hectic week. I was in North Carolina for a few days. I got to meet up with everyone at Redeye, our fine distributor, at their newish offices. It was good to see Greg, Steve, Lori, David, Aaron, Tor, and everyone else. They’ve been quietly assembling an indie rock empire for their distribution and now distribute GSL, Arena Rock, Three One G, File13, Gern Blandsten, Gearhead, TKO, Rainbow Quartz, Buddyhead, and Dirtnap. btv was one of the first indie rock oriented labels that Redeye added and we’re happy to be a part. I was happy to see piles of LPs in the warehouse, so we’ll be getting out the btv vinyl releases in the coming weeks and months to your favorite stores. Oliver is working on the xml feed for the podcast page. I tried and couldn’t do it manually in the five minutes I alloted to do it and I haven’t gotten a chance to fix it. I’m working on getting Matthew Stone’s list up next for later in the week. Tonight is a btv Super Bowl party. Hope to see you there. :::scott:::

The Exqusite Death of Saxon Shore was #10 on the Decoy Music top 50 instrumental records of 2005 list. Oliver Chapoy’s (of Saxon Shore) best of 2005podcast is now up. Oliver picked his favorite 10 records plus 3 extra from 2004. I attempted to DJ the songs and make the podcast. So, if there’s no continuity, it’s all my fault. :::scott:::
I went to Brooklyn on Friday and Cake and I went to see Serena Maneesh play at Northsix. It seemed to be packed out and I thought I overheard it was sold out. Anyhow, Emil was bringing his band for their US debut and I was happy to see it. It was good seeing Sondre, it had been like 4 years or something. I got in some copies of the UK only Damien Jurado/Dolorean split 7″ and the Mt. Eerie one-sided 7″ and will add them to the btv store shortly. The Mt. Eerie Live in Copenhagen 3xLP is nearly out of print, like 15 or less left in the US. So in the interest of capitalism, any purchases will require the purchase of an additional btv title. :::scott:::
