Some bad news…Ester Drang were in an accident while on tour. Apparently, a car rear-ended their van/trailer, the trailer came off, and then a semi smashed the trailer. Quite a few things have been damaged or destroyed. I don’t have all of the details, but this is what Johnathon from Unwed Sailor relayed to me. They are definitely in need of your support on their tour. Denison opened up for Cat Power on Friday night, playing a few songs with Scott French and Steve Yutzy on drums/guitar. Chan Marshall was solo and played a few songs on guitar and piano before I left. Willis told me that I missed her calling a girl out of the audience to play guitar while she sang a few songs, a pretty incredible/freak out part of the show. I was on my way to the Baltimore airport to pick up Jess. Saturday, the van was packed for a visit to the Stone family ranch where Reels of White and Saxon Shore rocked out in the garage during a little sausage cookout. Thanks to everyone who came out for the rokk. Huge props to Matthew who found me an autographed Cash autobiography in Lebanon. I…

Today is my 30th birthday. Joey told me that 30 is the new 22, offering whatever glimpse of hope he could. I am offering a special deal…Type in “Happy Birthday Scott” or some fine derivative and receive free shipping on your order. If you order the Unwed Sailor hardbound book, I’ll give it to you for $18ppd, a mere $5 more than the digipak version. You cart contents won’t reflect the deal, but I will take care of it upon charging your credit card. Type something positively witty and you might find yourself with a better deal still. The deal’s off if you somehow manage to insult me, so be careful, and it will only last into early September. So, are you feeling lucky? Thanks to everyone who stopped by last night. A special shout out to Mr. Jeff Mangum of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Tuscon and mad props to the amazing girl who tracked it all down. :::scott:::
Tonight, Saxon Shore will be at The Pilot Light in Knoxville, TN and on Thursday, destroying NYC with rock music once again Thursday night at the ACME Underground. They’ve been working their instrumnetal magic cross country for 8 weeks now. Finishing the tour will be a sunrise performance at the purple door festival and an evening experimental set with Reels of White Softly Flow. Early Day Miners and Unwed Sailor travel on to the Black Cat in DC tonight. I was able to catch the sets on both Monday and Tuesday in NYC and Brooklyn and both bands are at the top of their game, be sure to come out and support. The Trouble with Sweeney have shows Fri/Sat in Virginia. If you’re nearby, you’re obligated to go. Hey to Chris who was hanging out in front of the Fez hoping to get a ticket to the sold out Denison Witmer/Innocence Mission show last night. Hope you enjoyed the cupcake, Denison, unless Marie ate it. Hi to the fine Fanatic crew. Thanks to Matthew for mowing the lawn and trimming the weeds. If anyone else is bored and in the area, feel free to stop by for yard work. Hey…
