Western Vinyl Advert




Western Vinyl had a sort of showcase at Emo's Lounge in Austin on Saturday night. I went to see Voices and Organs, who ended up canceling. All was well, though, as I caught most of MOM, featuring Joel North (who's been a friend since high school). I had to run after their set, missing what was undoubtedly a fantastic performance by the good people in Balmorhea, because their was a sleepover party at the Austin's Children's Museum.

Scenes from "Hausu" (1977)


Antigonish


As I was going up the stair
I saw a man who wasn’t there
He wasn’t there again today
I wish, I wish, he’d stay away.

My Gal Sal

Just finished a six hour practice wherein Mike, Clarke, Kelli, and I wrote a bunch of MIDI madness for a new song that I hope won't be called "H.H. Holmes". It interpolates a verse of the old revival number, "I'm Bound for the Promised Land", which fits in nicely with our covers of "My Gal Sal" and "When You're a Long, Long Way from Home" (a summer jam dating back to 1914). This was our penance for canceling our gig in Lubbock tonight with Xiu Xiu(!) due to poorly scheduled flights. Sincere apologies to those who we let down. We let ourselves down too, y'know?

We also just got back some pics from our photoshoot with Aubrey Edwards last month. Normally I wouldn't push promotional pictures or anything of the sort, but we actually put some effort into these...
