Lots of progress being made. The artwork to All American Radio : Fragments Of is complete and will be at the factory tomorrow. Arrangements are being made to get the hardbound book version of Unwed Sailor : The Marionette and The Music Box in time for their March tour dates. I will start taking pre-orders in a week or so for these and the LP version. There will also be a digipak version, as well. Brother Danielson one-sided LP plans are progressing and tentative plans have it as a gatefold LP with the original 24 illustrations from A Prayer for Every Hour accompanying the vinyl. It will be a special and unique release. :::scott:::

Tonight is Rock and Roll Night on my DVD player. I just watched 24 Hour Party People about the history of Factory Records and have just put in the Rolling Stones’ Gimme Shelter movie. I wanted to see 24 Hour Party People in the theater, but never quite made it; JD always tells me to see Gimme Shelter, but I guess tonight is the night. I can appreciate a good rock flick. I’m making the booklet design for a btv compilation cd that will showcase our 2003 releases to retail stores. I’m almost done, but have to pass things off to a few friends to get their opinions. I basically tried to colorize some ads that Jamie Hunt made for the label. Josh from Fanatic and I were talking over some strategy for The Trouble with Sweeney and Unwed Sailor. Fanatic will be servicing both records to CMJ radio and to press really soon. Ethan did up a couple of cover designs for The Trouble with Sweeney : I Know You Destroy! and they’re looking good. Ethan did the artwork for Denison’s Of Joy and Sorrow and The ’80s EP. He also did the artwork for the Drang’s Goldenwest album…
Congratulations to my friends Alex and April who just got engaged while April was visiting in London. The Trouble with Sweeney will be playing a show this Thursday at La Tazza, 108 Chestnut St in Philadelphia, at 10pm or so. Reels of White Softly Flow will be playing 7 February at Reset Art on Camac Street in Philadelphia, after their First Friday gallery show. Starflyer59 will be playing a special acoustic matinee show at Reset Art on 22 February, somewhere in the noon to 3pm timeframe. Unwed Sailor and Ester Drang will be in Philadelphia on 19 March. :::scott:::
