Randall from Jetenderpaul is having his doctoral thesis published by the Harvard University Press. Congratulations. Unwed Sailor have a new song from The White Ox streaming on their myspace page. I’m still waiting to hear the final mixes, but think it might be today. Johnathon is just back from a short tour playing bass for Chase Pagan. Nic Tse has arrived in Little Rock from Hong Kong and is going to be the guitarist, along with his boomerang pedal, for the August Unwed Sailor tour. Saxon Shore are gearing up for their August dates, as well. Bosque Brown will be playing on Saturday, 13 August in Denton as part of a special Women who rock showcase. They are going to be playing CMJ in September and should have some dates set for the trip out and back. More details once they are ready. :::scott:::

Box last night. There’s something nice in the current issue of Sonic about Bosque Brown, but it’s in Swedish. Krister needs to help us out with some translating. Insound is throwing around some hefty amounts of love for The Exquisite Death of Saxon Shore, listing it as one of the best records yet to come in 2005. They’re selling Starflyer 59 Talking Voice vs. Singing Voice LPs over at Insound soon, along with most other btv releases, in stock now. Dave, Nicole, their son Vincent, and I went to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory on Saturday. Willie Wonka seemed to scare Vince, but I thought this was a very solid remake, the darker Tim Burton world was very fitting to the somewhat dark style of the Road Dahl storyline. Sunday, I saw Ben’s display at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and wandered around the modern wing a bit after. It had been a while since I’d met up with Cy…
