It was good to see Damien play last night, though in true Khyber form he took to the stage at midnight. It was the most people I’d ever seen play with him, most of the songs were as a 5 piece and very rocking. It was a lot different from the somber set last fall. I was impressed by the energy of Two Gallants who opened. It’s hard to describe, but maybe somewhere between David Eugene Edwards, a juiced up Johnny Cash, and some gritty punk rock sensibilities. I think I may join Willis and Lauren tonight to see Superwolf (Will Oldham and Matt Sweeney). Happy Earth Day, frolicking in the dandelions later

Damien Jurado tonight at the Khyber in Philadelphia. See you at the show. Bosque Brown are playing their first official live show in Denton, TX. If you’re in the area, head out and support our newest band. Saxon Shore are wrapping up their tour with one last date on Saturday. The dates for recording with Dave Fridmann have been shifted due to Sigur Ros’ schedule and Saxon will be recording The Exquisite Death of Saxon Shore in mid-May with final mixing completed by the end of June. Unwed Sailor has changed the name of their forthcoming album to The White Ox. They’ll be back in the studio in May as well and are planning for a June tour. I’m finally listening to the massive 2 disc mp3 jam my friend Adam gave me. Thanks man! :::scott:::
M83 was in full effect on Saturday night with their loud guitars and keyboards, sounding great in front of a fairly small crowd. Props to Sean for the hook-up. Gockley was in town for the weekend, showed up at the end of the show, and Mike and I helped showed off our fair city that has changed so much since she left 5 years ago for a windier one. I caught another film at the Philadelphia Film Festival, a Korean film called Woman is the Future of Man. My houseguests have been way ahead of my pace seeing 4 or 5 movies a day, but they have super important all access passes. Last night, we followed up with some DVD watching. Viva the American Astronaut! Jurado is Thursday at the Khyber and the new album has been on my heavy rotation, along with Joanna Newsom and Bosque Brown (who says I can’t listen to records I put out?). Hey, I’ve had this link for a while, but I know some others out there will appreciate this. Go download some Dylan/Cash collaborations, they are amazing! “Girl from the North Country” is just incredible, eh Stone? Starflyer 59 test pressings sound great…
