I received the test pressings for Saxon Shore : Four Months of Darkness LP and Early Day Miners : Deep Harbor one-sided LP today in the mail. It’s a bit like Christmas when this stuff shows up. Quite exciting and foretelling a very busy summer for vinyl releases at btv. Hey, did you visit The Onion this week yet (it is Wednesday, all of you cubicle drones)? Wander on over to The Onion AV Club and see the nice words they had to say about The Marionette and The Music Box. Another reason for me to be smiling this evening on minimal sleep and preparing to fly to Amsterdam tomorrow.

Some very exicting news…The Trouble with Sweeney : I Know You Destroy! debuted at #128 on the CMJ top 200 this week and Unwed Sailor : The Marionette and The Music Box debuted at #83 and was the #5 debut of the week. Thanks to everyone supporting these releases at college radio; continue to listen to your local CMJ station for both releases. I’m continuing to lok for information about the Museum of Jurassic Technology and found some interesting things on the internet here, here, here, and here. Things seem to be divided, but in general I am falling on the side that several exhibits are purposely vague with some believable untruths, but there are factual things in the museum, as well. All in all, I am regretting not returning to have more time to go through the exhibits. Next trip. :::scott:::
