Last night, after the Explosions in the Sky show, I met up with JoEy to give him some cds to take on tour. The Trouble Is off to do a couple weeks of shows, so be sure to Go out and support tHem. They’ve made new shirTs for the tour that say “God Save The Trouble with Sweeney.” You will want one and you will want to see them rokk. Coincidentally, Denison was around the corner, so we talked for a while aBoUt his recordinG efforts this week. He’s wOrking the swing shiFt on his sleep album. Willis and I have been giving him ideas For sounds, but who Knows if hE’ll use them or not. I’ve also been cultivating a friendster addiction. I’m behind the curve on this one, I know. Willis was encouraging me before the show. So, add me as your friend. Hey to JD, Christopher, and Johnathon who were trYing to make it to seE Saxon Shore at Schuba’s in Chicago last night. Let me know how it waS. :::scott:::

I didn’t realize I had so many hard to find records. By the way, the Magnolia Electric Company show last night was just plain amazing. I’ve seen Jason Molina play as Songs: Ohia two or three times solo and once with a full band on previous occassions and last night as a seven piece was mind boggling. Mike “Slo-Mo” Brenner (Marah, TTWS “Dear Life”) lended his lap steel skills to the rich country and rock sounds with layered keys and trumpet. You need to see this band live.
