I was in DC this weekend with Randall from the masterful Jetenderpaul, trying to eek out details about new recordings. There is one complete song and a few more in progress. He’s also working on a 7″ for Milk and Honey Records in Norway for his side project band The Shaker Manifesto. While waiting for Randall to hob nob with bow-tied historians, I visited the International Spy Museum which was a little too expensive and super crowded, but there were some nice exhibits. It kept me out of the cold. We did manage to work in some record shopping at a couple of stores. Arrangements are getting more and more final for Mara Miller to record her Bosque Brown album with Eric Fisher, Damien Jurado, and friends in Seattle. It’s looking more like a release for this Autumn. The Trouble with Sweeney are readying songs for a Spring single release that will be a preview for their Autumn full-length. Denison Witmer is talking recording time again, too, but no firm details yet. I’m off to Italy for a week on Friday night with a weekend stop in each direction in Amsterdam. Maybe I can escape the bitter cold that’s just…

The Trouble with Sweeney : I Know You Destroy! has made it onto a couple of Amplifier magazine music critics’ top 10 lists, a writer from the Philadelphia Weekly’s top 10, and in top local albums for the Philadelphia City Paper. More support for the theory that this is one amazing record. I’m off to DC tonight to visit Randall from Jetenderpaul. We will be partying down. :::scott:::
I got back from meeting with Joey and Adam, the new manager for The Trouble with Sweeney, to usher in 2004 as The Year of the Sweeney. Plans for a new springtime single/cdep and an autumn full-length were discussed. More details as everything comes together. Is anyone else out there as sick of hearing about Pete Rose as I am? Keep that stinking crook out of baseball. I’m off to Amsterdam and Italy for a short trip in about a week and a half. See you all over there soon. My parents had to put their cat Sam to sleep. Rest in peace big guy. :::scott:::
