I’m getting ready to leave San Francisco. I had breakfast super early with John of Half-Handed Cloud fame and it was a lot of fun. His releases have been on Asthmatic Kitty/Sounds Familyre and the Canadian IN Transit label. Last night, I met with Adam, the manager of The Trouble with Sweeney, before the Giants game. I tried to convince him to go and almost had him, but there was some fancy dealing of tickets that took place and he went home. I fully embraced the Padres domination of the Giants with an 11-0 shutout. Oooh yeah. Dodgers are still going strong. Big news, Kind of Like Spitting are finally doing the final mixes for their one-sided LP. Yeah, it’s on. Back to LA in a couple of hours… :::scott:::

I’m in San Francisco for a few days this week. I was in LA last weekend and will be there next weekend. I’m supposed to see the Dodgers play on Sunday. It’s kind of shocking that they actually have the best record in baseball at the moment. It’s still early, but kind of impressive. :::scott:::
I saw 16 Horsepower on Friday in Germantown at North by Northwest, the first time I’ve been to this club. It was great to see them play for the first time in about 3 years in Philadelphia. Saturday was Danielson at The Khyber with Espers and Architecture in Helsinki. I got there at 10:30 and only missed the 4th opening band. Danielson went on at 1am. Who books shows like this? Who wants to see bands at 1am? Completely ridiculous. I also think the four band bill is a crime against humanity. June Panic is the newest addition to the one-sided LP schedule. He’s planning to record some material after he returns from a European tour. Also, Summer Hymns have confirmed participation in the series. :::scott:::
