I’m now in San Francisco and have been listening quite a lot to the forthcoming Aspera release, Oh Fantastica, schedule for stores on 3 June from Jagjaguwar. The boys are carefully tweaking their tunes for a one-sided LP to come out later in the autumn time frame. If you are a fan of the Birds Fly sound (and how couldn’t you be?), you will love Oh Fantastica and all that comes later. Unwed Sailor : The Marionette and The Music Box is going for adds on CMJ stations this week, so any support is appreciated, especially as well-informed listeners. Keep your ears open and attentive. Unwed Sailor is planning an August tour of the US with Early Day Miners, more details will be announced once they are finalized. Do you have EDM’s Jefferson at Rest album yet? It is something you need to get this week. I had a great time hanging out with my friends in LA and was able to make a second stop at Randy’s Donuts on the way to the airport. Perfection in a donut?

I’m in Los Angeles at the moment and things are very busy and happening. I’m staying with my friends Mike and Elisabeth who live near the ocean in Venice Beach. Their friend James was visiting and they’ve been editing an independent movie that they filmed last year.

We’ve been visiting quite a few other strange spots, includnig Randy’s Donuts, a donut stand with a gigantic donut on the roof that can occassionally be seen in movies. I’m off to San Francisco for a few days tomorrow. I’m going to see a baseball game on Tuesday with Jamie Hunt, who did the remarkable dry erase paint for Unwed Sailor’s The Marionette and The Music Box, and my old friend John who went to my high school. Should be exciting times ahead. In one-sided LP news, both Early Day Miners and The Six Part Seven are being pressed and printed while we…
The Trouble with Sweeney : I Know You Destroy! was the #15 most added on this week’s CMJ charts. If you live near a CMJ station, listen in or make a request to hear a track off the album. TTWS will be meeting up with OK’s Aquaduct for a few shows while on their massive cross-country US tour. Hopefully you’ve gotten to see them play. Unwed Sailor : The Marionette and The Music Box is featured on insound at the moment. If you regularly shop there, consider throwin that in your shopping cart. MP3s from that release and TTWS will be available from insound tomorrow. I’m off to California for a bit tomorrow. Will be in LA for a bit, then to San Francisco and back to LA and San Diego. Maybe I’ll see you there… :::scott:::
