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:::

Joey Sweeney and pals are up to some new trouble at this new website, Phiebrity. Jess, Willis, and I saw Old Canes rock out in the Unitarian Church Basement last night to a small crowd, but a soundsystem to accomodate 500. Chris from Appleseed Cast delivers the good with the live set and on the album Early Morning Hymns. Saxon Shore are finishing up The Exquisite Death of Saxon Shore and readying a re-issue of their Be A Bright Blue debut. More on release dates once they’re known.
