Denison Witmer will be opening up for Cat Power at the Trocadero in Philadelphia next Friday, 17 October, doors at 7pm. See you there. Wednesday night, The Six Parts Seven played The Fire as part of their autumn U.S. tour. I brought the covers for the one-sided LPs to the show and am hoping to have the vinyl to fill them sent shortly. Attitudes of Collapse is some of The Six Parts Seven finest material and one of the best releases to be on Burnt Toast Vinyl, so be sure to get it as soon as it’s available. Thursday night, a van load of us went up to Allentown to relive the metal years and see Stryper rock it live. Needless to say, heavy metal is keeping it real in the PA countryside. It’s interesting to see a band back on the road after quite a few years and there is something completely funny about it all that seems to be lost on the band. They were good at what they were doing, so I guess that’s admirable in some way, it at least entertained us. Tonight, my friend Dave and I saw Tarantino’s Kill Bill. It was flashy, well-filmed,…

I’m finally back home after about 5 weeks of being away. A special thanks to Matthew for keeping the mail order running while I was gone. I spent last week on vacation in California. It was a week packed full of adventure. Jess and I saw Mogwai and Willie Nelson in the same week. Mogwai seemed to be exploring the softer, kinder side of their music and concentrating less on the explode your ears decibel levels, still quite loud and chaotic when necessary, though. Willie is classic, what more can be said? The only slight complaint would be that he didn’t do a single tribute song to recently departed Johnny Cash. I’ve never seen him in action with Lenore and she’s got an amazing sound. I got some beef with the LA fairgrounds making us pay to get into the fair in order to see the show. In the end, we gave in and rode the ferris wheel and had some junk food, but we came for Willie and nothing else. While we were walking to Mogwai after seeing a great ’50s 3D movie, I heard my name being shouted from a car…Andy Bruntel just happened to be driving his…
I’m in the Chiangi airport in Singapore, surfing wireless, preparing to get back to the U.S.A. It’s been a long time coming. Goodbye to Justin and Sanna and all at work, including Jim who is a faithful update reader. I’m making a mad dash to get The Six Parts Seven one-sided LP ready for their Oct tour. Did I mention how hott this record is? I did, probably, many months ago. But, it is hott and you will love it. Some mastering/plating issues that we’re taking care of, but it will be worth the wait, well worth the wait. Starflyer 59 vinyl covers have been painted by our pal Jesse and the etching work is underway. The Ester Drang one-sided LP is also coming along, former member David Motter is designing the jackets. Stephen Drozd from the Flaming Lips plays on one of the tracks.
