On Friday night, I saw the Rachel’s play in the sanctuary of the Unitarian church here in Philadelphia . They began the set as a 3 piece (piano, cello, viola) without amplification. It sounded amazing and the members are incredible musicians. It had been a long time since I last saw the Rachel’s live and they did not disappoint, the sanctuary was the perfect venue for them. This time, as the previous time, I was thoroughly impressed by the films projected during the performance, including some eerie footage of the NYC blackout. By the way of full disclosure, I ended up meeting Greg King (filmmaker) at a brunch in NYC over 4 years ago, but was very impressed to find that he had done the films shown at the Rachel’s performances.

There were some problems last night with the site, but everything is back. Matthew is out on the road with Saxon Shore, so I’m handling all of the mail order for the next few weeks. I spent a lot of last night getting caught up with this week’s orders while watching this incredibly fascinating documentary about Jandek, highly recommended and makes me want to just order all of his releases. Saxxon is kicking their tour off tonight in Fredonia, NY. Be sure to catch them when they come to your area. Tonight, I’m off to see the Rachel’s with Ida in the Unitarian Church Sanctuary. The only time I saw the Rachel’s, they were spectacular and I’m sure the sanctuary will do wonders for the sound. I finished up the jacket design, really the adaptation from the cd design, for Starflyer 59 : Talking Voice vs. Singing Voice LP. Should be ready shortly and up for pre-orders in a couple of weeks. There’s going to be a repress of Woven Hand : Consider the Birds. If you don’t have a copy on LP, buy one right away to get the blue marbled vinyl, the repress will be on black vinyl.…
