Everyone has left my house after a busy few days. I had everyone making LPs for me on Monday to help me get caught up on distribution. Redeye is going to distribute several LPs with the first batch hitting on 16 May. Starflyer 59’s Portugues Blues one-sided LP and Talking Voice Vs. Singing Voice LP, Ester Drang’s Pleasure Themes and Get Rich Schemes, and The Six Parts Seven Attitudes of Collapse will all be out then. This will be the first time to get those Starflyer vinyl releases in a record store near you. Soporus has just created a myspace page that features 3 songs, 2 of which can be downloaded. They will be one of the bands on the 4 way 2xLP split release. Johnathon Ford is coming to Philadelphia tomorrow as part of Rosie Thomas’ band who are playing at World Cafe Live. Maybe I’ll see you there. I’m helping put on a show with Half-Handed Cloud (Asthmatic Kitty/Sounds Familyre), Vollmar (BlueSanct), and Lenny Smith (Sounds Familyre) above Circle Thrift at 2007 Frankford Ave in Philadelphia this Saturday. Come on out for some fun. :::scott:::

There is a nice feature in the Ft. Worth weekly about Bosque Brown. Mara and Ryan were good sports and got up super early to take me to the airport. I just got back from SXSW in Austin. I rode down from Ft. Worth with Ryan and Mara and stayed with my good pal Brian for the whole time. On Wednesday night, Ben snuck me backstage for the Serena Maneesh show at Emo’s. Thursday, Brian and I made a pilgrimage to the Texas Chili Parlor and it was just like old times. I was off to see the film Jumping Off Bridges which had the Bosque Brown song “Fire Fight” on the soundtrack. We got to meet up with Daniel Gill after the film who helped coordinate the soundtrack for the movie, as well as Kat (Writer/Director/Co-Producer) and Stacey (Co-Producer) from the film. The film nearly sold out the 1200 seat Paramount Theater in downtown Austin after selling out the first showing. I found some of the magic in going to SXSW when Mara, Ryan, Winston, and I were wandering through the streets and glanced up to see Matt from Anathallo. I was complaining that the btv fantasy baseball league…
Denison and I made the trip up to NYC and arrived right on time for the start of the Yankees/Blue Jays game. I think someone needs to explain the supposed charm of Yankee Stadium to me. The only stadium nearly as crappy that I’ve ever been to that hasn’t already been imploded is the one in Oakland. But, it was at least a worthwhile trip. After, I showed off Two Boots Pizza and we each had a slice of the Bayou Beast which has BBQ shrimp, crawdads, and cajun sausage on it. We got to the Sufjan show and met up with Cake and Nicole before mingling backstage in true rockstar form. It was great to see so many old friends…Mike Kauffmann and Liz Janes, James MacAlister and Jeff Shoop from Ester Drang, Sufjan, John Ringhoffer, and everyone else in the Illinoisemakers who I’d either met before or just met last night. It was fake facial hair and fake tattoo night. I already had the real facial hair, but John gave me a hott wizard ‘too on my arm. It’s super sweet and the sharpie doesn’t seem like it’s going to wash away too soon. Anyhow, Sufjan and gang played…
