After battling with some overzealous Clear Channel employees, Rich and I got kicked out of the Trocadero backstage area while giving LPs to Jason Martin from Starflyer on Saturday night. We ended up waiting in the cold for 30 minutes or so to collect our wristbands that allowed us access to our friends. Nice job. The sound here always suffers from big room syndrome, it’s unfortunate Starflyer and Pedro the Lion played the space, but it was good to see the familiar rock. Starflyer was great to see as a two piece with Martin and Lenz bringing the guitar and drums and MacAlister joining with keys for a song. Speaking of Keyes, where are you man? He wrote the short story on the back of the sf59 LP that’s out in circulation finally. Morr music tour in Philadelphia on Thursday. Maybe I’ll make it out to that. I love Styrofoam. :::scott:::

I went to see Sufjan play last night and it was great to see so many friends in the crowd. Props to the Witmer on bass and banjo in Sufjan’s band. Rich is coming to visit and we’ll go to see Starflyer and Pedro the Lion on Saturday with one-sided LPs in hand. They’re getting overnighted and should arrive today. Finally!! I am now officially out of Damien Jurado :This Fabulous Century LPs on white vinyl. The remaining orders will be filled with what copies of black I have. If you want white, Damien is the only source. I failed in my quest to order some of the Turkey and Gravy Soda from Jones Soda. They sold out before I could get a chance to get some. Maybe someone out there wants to set up a little trade? I’ve got some records…. By the way, Jess wrote an article on the PA State Demolition Derby Championships. Late afternoon update…we’ve been found guilty, guilty of finally having SF59’s one-sided LP done. What a long road it’s been. Thanks to United for turning these around quick. Starflyer 59 : Portuguese Blues, four songs on the A side, only one re-recorded for their…
Sufjan will be playing tonight in Philadelphia at the Ethical Society. See you there. I talked to Ben from Kind of Like Spitting last night and their one-sided LP is nearing completion. Artwork is underway and Ben is living in Philadelphia for a few months. Starflyer59 one-sided LPs will be available from them on the rest of the Pedro the Lion tour from Saturday until they sell out. Beth at United is making the magic happen and getting the LPs out quick. Pre-orders will begin shipping next week some time, as soon as the rest of the LPs arrive. :::scott:::
