  some thoughts on the yeti five release party

  05.18.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  Last Wednesday, I was at Cake Shop for the Yeti 5 release party. Yeti’s a rare publication in this day and age: square-bound, incorporating fiction and essays alongside writing about musicians both contemporary (Akron/Family) and not. The CD that accompanies each issue is likewise wide-ranging, including everything from rare 78s from Jeff Mangum’s collection and [...]

  Wednesday night got off to a late start; I ended up over at Habana Calle 6 to take in the second half of the Cardboard Records showcase. What did I see? Half of a blistering set from Pterodactyl. Possibly the best set I’ve seen from Gowns in a year of being floored by the live [...]

  Two former roommates of mine have books coming out this year. One of them, in fact, is already out. When you think about it, it’s been a pretty good year for onetime zine editors: winding my way over to the front page of myspace finds a blurb for a concert series in association with this [...]

  First ERMP show of the summer was Saturday. It went well, and I can’t think of better weather for an outdoor show.

  In lieu of much else tonight, I’ll just say that Idolator has a small piece up on the Beauty Pill, and includes a link to an MP3 of their “Lifeguard in Winter”.  As songs go, it’s pretty damn good.
  Also saw SB for the first time since she headed LA-ward this evening.  Coffee was had.  Times [...]
