Tonight, I’m off to see World’s End Girlfriend at the Unitarian Church here in Philadelphia. We’ve been fans of World’s End Girlfriend for a long time, ever since we got both Ending Story and Farewell Kingdom at the btv compound. The Lie Lay Land is one of our favorite releases of 2005 and we’re all very excited about the album that was just released in Japan, Hurtbreak Wonderland. So, maybe I’ll see you there. They play with both Mono and Grails. I’ve updated a couple of dates for Unwed Sailor’s June tour. Take a look. I’ll be in Chicago to see them play with Murder By Death. Test pressings for mewithoutyou brother, sister have just arrived. We’re excited for this vinyl release. If everything is good, we’ll start to take pre-orders later this week. :::scott:::

The collection consists of a total of 10 7″s, broken out over four individual shipments. 2 will arrive in July, 2 more in September, then 3 in both November and January. Each slipcase will be letterpressed with specially-designed artwork (from the HYMY Industries design firm), and the first shipment will come with a box built to contain the complete collection (as if anything will actually be able to contain it!). Then there’s the music — each A-side boasts demo versions of songs from the forthcoming Starflyer full-length; each B-sided is a track exclusive to this collection. It’s like being in the studio with the band as they piece together the new record. If you pre-order at the too-good-to-resist price…Continue reading
