Saxon Shore won in the first round of the Decoymusic.com post-rock tournament yesterday. Yndi Halda is in the running today, go vote for them. Congratulations to Sufjan and Rosie on their upcoming new project as reported by Pitchfork…happy parenting you lovebirds. Many thanks to Commissioner Stone who slaved away weeding, raking, and mulching most of the day yesterday. He is my lawn wrangling hero. Tom, Brit, and I wandered over to Temple’s Ambler campus to see Denison play in what seemed to be their student center. It was a super early show with Denison headlining at 7pm. After, we kidnapped him and somehow ended up playing trivia at the Drafting Room later in the night. As the Sleepers, in celebration of Denison’s forthcoming ep Are You a Sleeper?, we finished in the middle of the pack. He was also able to confirm the Pitchfork rumors. Tonight, Ben Sand and Todd Brown are coming to Philadelphia! Also, a don’t miss event: Emperor X (Mountain Goats with drum machines?, it’s got the Shrimper indie pop sound) Franklin Delano (creeky folk music from Italy) Jon Felton and his Soulmobile 1125 S. Broad in Philadelphia. $6, 8:30pm. Red Sparowes has had some gear stolen…

Congratulations to Jesse and Lois on their new baby girl. I’m sure Uncle Ben is happy. Wait, that’s kind of funny. Ben Volta = Uncle Ben. Yes, I know you will be tormenting me about this comment and I welcome it. Tonight, I’m off to see Denison play at Temple University Ambler campus. I just realized that tonight was the night. Oh yeah, it looks like the post-rock madness tournament at Decoymusic has started. Go vote lots for Saxon Shore and Yndi Halda. I guess voting for this round ends at midnight. :::scott:::
