I’ve added some new shows for Unwed Sailor’s tour with This Will Destroy You in late November/December. Get ready to see them play. Soporus have finished the recording and mixing of their full-length album entitled 24,110. This is set to be released in late Winter 2008. The samples for the Starflyer 59 Ghosts of the Future boxes have arrived and they look great. We’ll have these ready to go with the next shipment of 3 7″ in early December. Philadelphians! Emperor X is on tour and will be stopping this Saturday at 1125 S. Broad Street with Honeymoon Music’s Niagara Falls and locals Papertrigger. See you there. :::scott:::

Unwed Sailor finished mixing Little Wars. The album is 9 songs which clock in at 42 1/2 minutes. The 2xLP version will include a two bonus tracks, one remix and one track recorded as part of the Little Wars sessions. This new full-length has been a concept for several years, the band playing a track or two as part of their live set. “Copper Islands” is a building block for the album and has been part of the live show over the last few years. Little Wars is the band’s most ambitious and complex release yet, building on melodic lessons and recording techniques learned over the last several albums. Not content to follow up with their energetic 2000 debut full-length, The Faithful Anchor, with a mere sequel, the band recorded 2003’s The Marionette and the Music Box, challenging its fan base with a Peter and the Wolf inspired, classically influenced fairytale.

Little Wars reflects both the depth and breadth that Unwed Sailor has…
Happy Halloween a day late. I was helping Brian and Liz hand out candy last night here in Austin and then we shredded on some Guitar Hero. I forgot to post about getting to play Guitar Hero III on the Wii this weekend in Chicago. The Coff had a copy reserved and got it shortly after it was available. Wireless shredding is pretty exciting, but I’m still not very good at it. I had some incredible Texas bbq at Rudy’s here in Austin. Seriously some of the best I’d ever had. We’re planning a little field trip to the Hill Country to score some more bbq soon. Very exciting. I’m off to Houston this weekend to see some old friends. :::scott:::
