I went to see Sufjan play last night and it was great to see so many friends in the crowd. Props to the Witmer on bass and banjo in Sufjan’s band. Rich is coming to visit and we’ll go to see Starflyer and Pedro the Lion on Saturday with one-sided LPs in hand. They’re getting overnighted and should arrive today. Finally!! I am now officially out of Damien Jurado :This Fabulous Century LPs on white vinyl. The remaining orders will be filled with what copies of black I have. If you want white, Damien is the only source. I failed in my quest to order some of the Turkey and Gravy Soda from Jones Soda. They sold out before I could get a chance to get some. Maybe someone out there wants to set up a little trade?

Sufjan will be playing tonight in Philadelphia at the Ethical Society. See you there. I talked to Ben from Kind of Like Spitting last night and their one-sided LP is nearing completion. Artwork is underway and Ben is living in Philadelphia for a few months. Starflyer59 one-sided LPs will be available from them on the rest of the Pedro the Lion tour from Saturday until they sell out. Beth at United is making the magic happen and getting the LPs out quick. Pre-orders will begin shipping next week some time, as soon as the rest of the LPs arrive. :::scott:::
I’m trying to overcome some technical and scheduling problems to get Starflyer 59 vinyl ready for the band on Saturday. Hopefully everything will work out and this record will finally be out. Saturday, see them at the Trocadero in Philadelphia. The new album from Japanese instrumentalists Mono, Walking Cloud and Deep Red Sky, Flag Fluttered and the Sun Shined is highly recommended. It’s licensed to Temporary Residence in the US and I’ve been playing a lot over the last week. Check it out. :::scott:::
