Plea From A Cat Named Virtue

Epitaph has a track – “Plea From A Cat Named Virtue” – from the new Weakerthans album available for download on their website. And on a related note, the Weakerthans are seeking a tour manager and guitar tech for their tour this Fall. Anyone interested, contact tyler@threegutrecords.com.

I got a copy of Nada Surf’s Let Go in exchange for my copy of The Strokes’ Is This It. I think I will be much happier with Nada Surf.

My Friendster network has exploded exponentially in the last few days. I now have four – count ’em – FOUR – friends. Faaaaantastic.

I spent the afternoon with a puppy asleep in my lap. Good times.

Dog In The Sand

The official word on the Pixies reunion from Frank Black:

Finally, as for the latest rumor (#398) that the Pixies are going to reunite for a tour (as mentioned by FB on London’s Xfm radio)… here’s the lowdown from the inside : The Pixies will get together later this year to record a new double album of Latvian children’s lullabies, after which they will tour each and every country whose name begins with the letters Cz.

Cheeky monkey.

We have a puppy in the office today. He is a 17-week old beagle and his name is Fokker and he is the cutest puppy in the universe. I want a puppy. Right now he is whimpering because we’ve closed him into one of the offices, lest he pee everywhere whilst frolicking. But rest assured I will be rescuing him several times today. My timesheet for today will read: “Puppy – 9 hrs”

Rehearsal last night went late-ish, doing some recording after a couple run-throughs of the set for next week. We will also be doing an acoustic-thingie in a park on the 27th for the release of a vegan cookbook of some kind. Nothing more rock’n’roll than that.

Obstacle 1

As soon as I pass a credit check, the apartment is mine. The property manager said so… Still not going to do any dance of joy until the lease is signed, but I feel pretty good about this.

Interpol. September 19. Phoenix Concert Theatre. There are a bunch of other North American dates around the same time, but they’re not of interest to me. Tickets for fan club members available tomorrow, to the rest of us starting Saturday.

UPDATE: Interpol is on September 17, not 19. Not sure what I was smoking.

Mandy Moore – yes, Mandy Moore – details how and why she made the very curious and interesting choices for her upcoming album of covers, Coverage. You know, I think I like Mandy Moore. She seems like a nice kid. From Stereogum.
