I’ll have some new titles to put up in the btv on-line store today. The new Godspeed You! Black Emperor is due in on Tuesday, so orders for that will ship immediately. I’ll also be putting the Denison Witmer Live cd into the store and start taking orders for the Pedro the Lion Christmas 7″ which should be arriving by the end of the week. I’ve tried to order a lot of the 7″, but I’m not sure how many I’ll get. So, the first pre-orders will only be for those who order btv releases along with the 7″. It was a busy weekend. Friday, Reels of White Softly Flow played with White Trash Inc. (Orchestra), Sopras, and Saxon Shore. Andy did play by cellphone during the Reels set, so that was something fun on the technological front. Lots of good friends were at the show, so it was a great time. On Saturday, my friend Joshua and Martha got married in the morning. It was a bit early to get up after Friday night, but I was glad I made it out of bed. Congratulations to them! Afterwards, a bunch of us hung out in the city and then…

I updated a bunch of dates on the shows page, be sure to check them out. As always, Denison Witmer’s site has more details about his shows, street addresses, phone numbers, websites, so check that out for specific details about him coming to your area. He will be there if he hasn’t been there, unless you unfortunately live outside of the continental US or in, say, Montana or Idaho, or Maine. 7 December is Burnt Toast Vinyl night at The Fire. Bring your friends to party down and see Denison with The Trouble with Sweeney, Reels of White Softly Flow, and Tracy Shedd who has a full-length on Teenbeat Records. I went to Brooklyn last night and Nicole, Jamie, Matthew, and I went to Warsaw for the Jade Tree CMJ showcase. We arrived in the middle of the Owls’ set, but got to catch a few songs. I’m a long standing Joan of Arc fan who can appreciate the Owls. Willis is jealous, I am sure. I caught Milemarker later in the evening and they rocked their synths hard. Pedro the Lion ended the evening and this was another reason why I was there. Christian (of Scientific) is now Pedro’s…
Denison Witmer was #138 on the CMJ top 200 this week, up 61 spots. Thanks to everyone at college radio for playing Philadelphia Songs. There’s also a great review of Philadelphia Songs in the new issue of the Philadelphia City Paper. The Trouble with Sweeney have decided to cancel their autumn tour. Joey and Reyna just bought a new house that apparently has land deed to another property. In any case, lots of troubles to sort out and an overly hectic month ahead of them. The band will hopefully pick back up on most of the same dates in January and February 2003. Ester Drang’s Goldenwest will be released in Europe by Swiss label Gentlemen Records in November. The band is also going into the studio in November to record their full-length. It looks like things are set for an 11 March release date now. Speaking of release dates, the Early Day Miners one-sided LP will be released on 4 February to stores and the Aspera one-sided LP will be released on 4 March to stores, both through Secretly Canadian distribution. The Six Parts Seven have finished the songs for their one-sided LP and the masters are arriving on my…
