I’m still in Singapore for the next week or so. I went to Bangkok with my friends Justin and Sanna over the weekend and am off to Taipei to see my friend Ben this weekend. Matthew has been keeping up with the mail order and I’ve been trying to keep up with e-mail. I’ll get caught up a bit more tonight. In release news, the Mt. Eerie : Live in Copenhagen 3xLP co-release with Washington Inc. is available in stores beginning today, 18 January. These are still available from btv and Washington Inc., as well. On 1 February, Ester Drang : Pleasure Themes and Get Rich Schemes one-sided LP will be available in stores. Saxon Shore have finished their new ep, Luck Will Not Save Us from a Jackpot of Nothing. It’s completely mixed and mastered. Ben Volta is finishing up the artwork and he’s almost done. It’s looking good. The re-issue of Saxon Shore’s Be a Bright Blue is on its way, as well, along with Bosque Brown Plays Mara Lee Miller. These will all be available on the website shortly and in stores later this spring through Redeye Distribution. Unwed Sailor’s Magic Hedge will be re-issued on cd…

I’m flying back from Singapore in the morning, just in time for the btv CMJ showcase at Alphabet Lounge in NYC. See you all there. I’ll also be at Damien Jurado’s show with Richard Buckner at the North Star Bar in Philadelphia on Friday night. The pressing of his This Fabulous Century LP is arriving at my house just in time and he will have these on his tour to sell. Pre-orders will ship on Friday and Monday and will all be white vinyl. My quantities of the white vinyl are nearly out, so place your orders ASAP to guarantee. Damien will have the white vinyl on tour with him. Secretly Canadian Distribution will be distributing to retail stores on 7 December and these will all be black vinyl versions. Remember, 300 white LPs and 300 black LPs. Don’t be left out. Mt. Eerie 3xLP will hit stores on 18 January through S.C.D., Ester Drang one-sided LPs on 1 February, and Yume Bitsu on 1 March. :::scott:::
When I got home from work, my doorstep was covered with boxes. Finally, the vinyl for the Ester Drang and Yume Bitsu one-sided LPs has arrived, as well as the vinyl and covers for the Mt. Eerie 3xLP. The covers look spectacular and the triple gatefold folds out into a 12″x36″ scene that Phil Elverum drew. I’m going to spend tonight assembling 3xLPs in order to get a bunch to Phil tomorrow for him to sell on tour. Mt. Eerie is going to be playing at the First Unitarian Church in Philadelphia tomorrow at 7:30pm. Be there or see them on another date of the tour. :::scott:::
