Saxon Shore’s ep is #11 most added on the CMJ charts this week. Thanks to everyone in college radio who is playing it. We’re going to have a little bbq at Michael’s house tonight. He’s an important part of the btv family and helped get the Unwed Sailor hardbound books published. Tomorrow, I’m going down to DC to hang with Brian. We’re going to go to the Brickskeller and Ben’s Chili Bowl if our plan goes well. I’m listening to an album from Wooden Wand and the Vanishing Voice that’s really blowing me away. Josh, one of the btv publicist folks, always had good things to say about them. Ethan will be a fan momentarily. He hooked me up with a couple of Brian Jonestown Massacre albums, so thanks. Also got the new Animal Collective ep with Vashti Bunyan. :::scott:::

I have the donut and a nail in my regular tire to get fixed.

I was surprised to find my friend Rich was hanging out nearby when I got home, so cut my sleep short to have brunch with him and Matt. It’s been an eventful weekend. I’m listening to some Neutral Milk Hotel bootlegs that I’d…
