A big apology to my pal willi$ for inadvertently leaking sensitive Saxon Shore folklore to the world. It’s been fixed on the site. I felt guilty since Daniel Smith was pushing his series of “I’m Sorry” gift cards. I should have bought some to send one to will. Thanks for the little bird who hooked me up with the New Pornographers Twin Cinema album. I can’t wait for the vinyl to spin on my turntable. I love all of the Dan Bejar songs. I have a soft spot in my heart for Destroyer. I’m starting the design for Saxon Shore posters and postcards with Ben Volta and the band. I also just got the drawing and sketch for the June Panic one-sided LP. Unwed Sailor are in Denmark and getting ready to come home soon. Plans are for The White Ox to get finish the last week in July. That’s the latest in record label excitement. :::scott:::

He didn’t play in his tree, but appeared in a suit as a door to door salesman hawking his Great Comfort goods in between songs. He played a few new songs in what was one of the best performances I’d seen him give in a while, maybe because it was so different. Woven Hand was David on stringed instruments and Ordy on drums and the set went through a long history of both Woven Hand and 16 Horsepower songs. For the encore, Daniel joined on stage to play some fierce metal bass parts in what was a super rocking ending. My friend Scott sat next to me and we were reminiscing to the first time we’d seen 16 Horsepower in like 1995 or 1996 at J.C. Dobbs and how mesmerizing the whole set was back then.…
