The Kind of Like Spitting vs. Phil Ochs one-sided LP is no longer going to be a btv release. It will most likely come out on cd on another label. Unwed Sailor have finished 8 songs for White Ox and will be returning to Dan Burton’s studio in May to finish the rest of the album. Saxon Shore is still touring away, go see them. :::scott:::

After working all day on Scott’s boat, Willis and I went to see Mono, The Turing Machine, and Eluvium. The Turning Machine was amazingly tight and energetic, we were really blown away. Mono was very loud in a Mogwai sort of way, very effective in the smallness of the Khyber. At the show, I realized that an old friend Al was there. The last time I saw him was when he, Rich, and I went to see Godspeed You Black Emperor and Labradford in NYC in 1999. Fans of instrumental music unite! Go see Saxon Shore on tour. :::scott:::

I sent out an e-mail update summarizing the latest and greatest happening from btv. If you haven’t subscribed to the e-mail list, you didn’t receive the update, but if you’ve been visiting the website, there’s nothing new or secret. Willis and I and maybe others are going to see Mono and Eluvium at the Khyber tomorrow night after a day of helping Scott with his sailboat repairs. I think I’ve decided to bag the Psychedlic Furs. I’m sure I’ll regret it later, hopefully it won’t affect my psche too detrimentally. The Philadelphia Film Festival is starting this week. Todd Brown is coming to visit from Toronto. Way back in the day, he used to run a label called Absolom for about 5 minutes. He’s involved or maybe runs a website here. “Come on let’s take the long cut I think that’s what we need…We’ll get there eventually” :::scott:::
