THIS SATURDAY! JUNE 14
Month: June 2003
I’m in France after spending a few days in Amsterdam. Friday night, a bunch of us went to see Pedro the Lion play in an extremely weird show for me. There was only one band and the show started on the exact time printed on the ticket. Apparently neither is that strange. This Sunday, I’ll be seeing Cat Power, so I’ll let you know how that show works, too. It’s at 4pm on a Sunday, so that’s already weird to me. My luggage got lost on the way to France and my rental car and hotel reservations didn’t go through. I found out it was a holiday weekend, so no work on Monday, then, and no way to get a car because of the holiday and a bunch of peopel getting cars due to some labor strikes. I did find a hotel to pick me up at the airport, so I wasn’t homeless. My luggage showed up a day later so I could stop trying to not smell up my clothers in the hopes that they would last enough for me to wear them to work. Denison is car sitting for me in exchange for picking up all american radio…
I received the test pressings for Saxon Shore : Four Months of Darkness LP and Early Day Miners : Deep Harbor one-sided LP today in the mail. It’s a bit like Christmas when this stuff shows up. Quite exciting and foretelling a very busy summer for vinyl releases at btv. Hey, did you visit The Onion this week yet (it is Wednesday, all of you cubicle drones)? Wander on over to The Onion AV Club and see the nice words they had to say about The Marionette and The Music Box. Another reason for me to be smiling this evening on minimal sleep and preparing to fly to Amsterdam tomorrow. The Trouble with Sweeney just received 5/5 in A.P. for I Know You Destroy!, though I haven’t seen the mag yet. They have some residencies planned for NYC and Philadelphia: uly 1 | Silk City, Philadelphia, PA | residency w/ THETWINATLAS AND HOT TOPIC DJs July 7 | Pete’s order ventolin Candy Store, Brooklyn, NY | TTWS/American Book Congress residency w/ Mendoza Line July 8 | Silk City, Philadelphia, PA | residency w/ THE PHOTON BAND AND WINDY DJs July 14 | Pete’s Candy Store, Brooklyn, NY | TTWS/American Book…
