Matt and I worked on getting the state of mail order improved and all Unwed Sailor 7″ orders should have gone out by the end of the day today. We received enough 7″ so that everyone could get them that placed an order. We also stopped into the studio to sit in on The Trouble with Sweeney’s mastering session. The audio for their second full-length, tentatively entitled I Know You Destroy!, is now complete. The album was recorded and produced by Brian McTear (Burning Brides, Mazarin, Swearing at Motorists) at Miner St. and is a bit more energetic than their Dear Life debut. We’re all really excited about how the album turned out. It’s slated for an April 2003 release and the artwork should begin sometime this week. In one-sided LP news, the etching for Early Day Miners gets sent off for plating later today. The AM/FM one-sided LP is no more…instead, it will be a cdep with some cd-rom videos. I’m excited about that. Also, in on-line store news, we still have about 20 copies of the out-of-print Pedro the Lion 7″ for purchase with select btv releases. Still cheaper with a release then they will be on e-bay…

I’m going to meet up with The Trouble with Sweeney today while they master their record. My good friend Ethan is going to be doing the artwork for the album. For everyone awaiting Unwed Sailor : The Magic Hedge and Unwed Sailor/Toboggan Split 7″, a shipment arrived from Switzerland and the orders will begin to ship out later today and tomorrow. Hopefully it will be worth the wait. :::scott:::
I’m finally back from my travels. I was home for about a day, then went to my parents’ house in Indiana. There was snow on Christmas Eve, about 9″, so it was a nice and white for that week. I finally visited the James Dean Museum and gravesite in Fairmount, IN, a few miles from my hometown. It wasn’t as inspirational for me as it was for, say, Morissey, but it was a worthwhile experience. The Trouble with Sweeney are mixing their sophomore full-length at the moment. I’m going to visit tomorrow and will give a full report. The artwork for the Unwed Sailor album is nearly complete. Jamie Hunt showed us some mock layouts that he created with handmade characters. He’s really into it. The audio is ready for the cd and hopefully ready for the vinyl. Johnathon is setting up a tour for Unwed Sailor and Ester Drang in the US this March. Denison is back from much touring. I finally saw him on New Year’s Eve for the first time in almost 4 months. Time really does fly. He’s going to be going to the UK in February for some dates. Once they are finalized, I’ll put…
