Lana Kim and Andy Bruntel directed a video for Stephen Malkmus’ “Baby C’mon.” Andy’s good people, take a look. There’s a new podcast up that was a little New Year’s party compilation Jason Coffman made with my overbearing input and some suggestions from Jess and Siri and Horton, probably more. It’s fun. There will be some best of 2004/2005 podcasts up from various btv celebrities once I get them made. Johnathon is going to make some edits to The White Ox so the full-length will be delayed. Circles ep will come out in late March/early April as planned with the vinyl set of The White Ox and Circles to follow shortly after. Vinyl for The Faithful Anchor should be ready sometime in early 2006 if all goes well. Which is hasn’t lately. The second set of LP jackets for The Exquisite Death of Saxon Shore have arrived, but the latest test pressing has some issues. We’re getting a new plate made, hopefully this one will do the trick. The Saxons are practicing for a few days, incorporating Oliver into the live show for their upcoming weekend/spot dates in January/February/March. :::scott:::

I went to see Jared and Everything Now! play in Indianapolis on Friday night with my sister Wendy. Thanks for the hook-up, Jared. My old friend Ron is back home for Christmas and a bunch of us all went to see the “Chronic”les of Narnia last night. I was impressed, I wasn’t sure what to expect, it seemed like most reviewers liked it, but had a few gripes about different aspects of the story. Aside from all of the kids buy risperdal looking like J. Crew models, I thought it was enjoyable and fairly faithful to the book, as well as I remember it. There was the extra intro segment which gave the director a chance to have some more action scenes, but I think that sets up the reason why the kids were evacuated to the British countryside in the first place, something that many in the audience may not really understand. I’m back to Chicago on Tuesday. :::scott:::
