Unfortunately, the Dodgers lost to the Phils yesterday when relief pitcher Giovanni Carrara hit two batters with bases loaded to give the Phils the 2 run commanding lead. It was a good trip to the stadium and we managed to find seats with a good view. Nothing like a good afternoon baseball game during the week. For our European friends, there should be some upcoming treats. Unwed Sailor will be touring Europe in October, as well as recording material there for their forthcoming one-sided LP. Ester Drang’s Goldenwest will be released by Swiss label Gentlemen Records in the fall, as well. There are also discussions underway for a new Circle of Birds ep with a European supporting cast. I’ll let you know how that progresses. The release of the White Trash Inc. (Orchestra) 7″ on Norway’s Milk & Honey records is now available in Europe. I’ll have copies available soon from the on-line store, along with their release of a Soul-Junk 7″. :::scott:::

Lots of new records in the online store, including new records from Seldom, Kind of Like Spitting, Flaming Lips (vinyl), The Prom, and Saxon Shore, so be sure to check them out.

His metal party music would lead you to believe that the show would be complete cheese, but it was a great performance, completely fun and entertaining. At one point, there were about 100 people on stage carrying WK around while he was singing. It was completely out of control.

There were plenty of hardcore bands, which was a little out of my interest, but it was great to see friends mewithoutYou, Roadside Monument, and Pedro the Lion play, as well as the complete insanity known as the Dillinger Escape Plan. I am off to see the Dodgers and Phillies play. This is one of those series where I root against…
I spent last night putting UPC codes onto the retail releases of Denison Witmer : River Bends and Circle of Birds : s/t. These will be appearing in stores on 10 September, so get ready. The press/radio campaign for Denison’s Philadelphia Songs will be getting underway in mid-August, so there’s some work to make sure that the word is getting out. Fanatic and For Play will be handling radio and Fanatic will be handling the press/publicity. The cds are being printed at the moment and should be back from the factory soon, in time for Denison’s Philadelphia and Lancaster cd release shows. Sunday, I saw Saxon Shore play at the Fire for a matinee show. We ended up hanging out most of the night and they stayed at my house. They’re on tour for the next few days. Their instrumental album, Be a Bright Blue, will be available from the on-line store shortly, along with the cd version of Soul Junk’s 1957, and cdeps from Hot Hot Heat and The Shins that I just got in. Saturday, I had dinner with my good, and recently married, friends Nathan and Norma and some of our other friends from their wedding. Afterwards,…
