The Trouble with Sweeney Plays Karen cdep from Basement Life Records is being played on CMJ radio. Make sure to listen for it on your local CMJ station. Reels of White Softly Flow have posted some changes to their website. A live LP release is coming very very soon. Denison Witmer will be releasing a special tour only live cd that will feature songs from his fall 2001 and spring 2002 tours and will feature cover artwork from his brother, Douglas. I think he plans to have these ready in July. Also, Denison is finishing up Philadelphia Songs with some short, final sessions this week. The album will be mastered on 31 May along with Circle of Birds, if everything goes according to plan. :::scott:::

I met with Matt and Justin from Aspera yesterday and heard two of the songs for their one-sided LP. The recording should be done in mid-June for a release in September sometime. AM/FM is also underway with their recording that should also be done in mid-June. Lenola has just committed to participating in the one-sided LP series. They’ve been writing many songs for their forthcoming full-length. This is really an exciting series for me and hopefully the bands involved. 16 May 2002 : Brooklyn, NY. Denison Witmer with John Vanderslice at Lillies. I’m listening to the re-issue of Danielson Famile’s A Prayer for Every Hour which is due for release by Secretly Canadian in the next month. An additional cd contains the first public danielson performance and the video for Headz in da Cloudz. This was a revolutionary record in 1995 and is still groundbreaking today. I’ve also been listening to Early Day Miners : Let Us Garlands Bring LP (Western Vinyl/Secretly Canadian) which sounds incredible on 180g vinyl and Yume Bitsu : The Golden Vessyl of Sound 2xLP (K Recs) which has an entire live show on the 4th side.
