High fives to Krister for getting me a copy of the Damien Jurado/Dolorean split 7″ available on their European tour. Big props for introducing me to Red Sparowes. I’m working the orders to get everything out quick in time for the holidays. I’ve added a Priority Mail option as well as a few new titles including Sufjan’s Illinois LPs, Half-Handed Cloud’s new 7″, a live Starflyer 59 cd, the new Mt. Eerie LP+CD, and the new Thanksgiving 3xLP. :::scott:::

I have the final masters for Unwed Sailor’s The White Ox and Circles. The vinyl will be getting mastered very soon with both being available as a set. Circles will be one-sided with an etching on the back, most likely. I also have the final master for June Panic’s one-sided LP, as well as the complete artwork, so production for this is also underway. Jeremy is going to have some etching artwork to transcribe very soon. My friends Lodewijk and Dorien are driving down from Canada. They’re visiting from Amsterdam and will be visiting Philadelphia and NYC.

Props to Adam for booking a great Mt. Eerie/Thanksgiving/Tom Blood/Ramona Cordova show last night in Philadelphia. Props to Dan for letting it move to Kensington South Forum (he’s got Casiotone for the Painfully Alone coming in October). Adam is having Cerberus Shoal in Philadelphia later in the month, too, at Circle East above Circle Thrift in Fishtown. Thanks to my good friend Emil for sending me his new Serena Maneesh album. They’re opening for the Dandy Warhols in Europe for a few dates. By the way, Pitchfork gave the album an 8.6 and some mad props. It’s import only for now. It’s amazing, by the way. The Burnt Toast Vinyl compound is getting some organizing. My housemate has moved out, so the stacks of record stock will have more room to breathe. My cat seems a little troubled by the recent vacancy, but I think she’ll come around, she’s tough. :::scott:::
