Let's take some time to think about the Year of the Rat.
A show is opening at the Guggenheim on Friday, featuring the work of Cai Guo-Qiang. It's one of the coolest shows I've ever seen. Here is a little teaser:
Some other things I'm into in 2008:
1. Papaya salad
2. Sunday morning routine of Friends meeting, followed by brunch, followed by used book shopping
3. The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran (esp. the parts about crime and punishment, death, the seasons, teaching)
4. After years of hating them, I am finally embracing the fun facts about Nantucket on the caps of Nantucket Nectars
5. Blaqstarr's "Shake It to the Ground" feat. Rye Rye
6. Baltimore
7. February
8. There are some great stamps to choose from at the post office right now. How do you decide between American Scientists, Lunar New Year, and the Pollination series?
9. I said I hated it at first, but Timbaland's rap in the MIA song "Come Around" is so bad it's amazing. It's so slow and I can't believe the teepee line. I can't stop listening to it!!
10. The New York Magazine crossword puzzle

Our merch. table has been a little skimpy (empty) lately, as we await the release of a split 7" with Xiu Xiu and the release of a single 7" that is due out on Upset the Rhythm in the UK. And yes, we are also working on our first full-length record, and we hope to have it available for purchase in Europe, Australia, and the States sometime this summer. Until that time, the rad people of eMusic (what's up to Yancey, the nicest nice guy ever) have created this thing called eMusic Selects to feature and support unsigned musicians like ourselves, and we feel really fortunate to be one of the first bands involved in this project. We've put together an "album" of 10 songs from 2007 that were released on 7", compilations, and various other obscure projects. You can download the album 03/07-09/07 here. And here is a q&a we did with Yancey a couple weeks ago about the project.
Thanks so much to everyone who came out to the show with No Age, Rings, and Skint at Market Hotel on Monday. I had a super fun time, and it was cool to see so many friends in one place! 2008!

Sad.....
I just heard from a friend that Sean Finnegan, who played drums in Void passed away from a heart attack at age 43. Void is probably one of my favorite hardcore/punk and even dare I say rock bands of all time. They were from DC, on Dischord records, but seemed like they were from another planet musically than most of their contemporaries. At times it sounded like 4 bands playing at the same time. Beyond intense. They also seemed super mysterious.
I feel like there is this wierd and creepy side to punk and underground music, as well as the artworld, where people seem to pass away a lot prematurely. It often seems to be because of how many of us our living without health insurance (like me). I don't know Sean's status as far as coverage, but there is something really familiar and tragic about this. I don't know the circumstances of why his heart failed, but as I enter my second week of a wierd flu, I can't help but be a bit nervous.
I recently played a benefit for someone with cancer. I was shocked at the amount of smoking, particularly given the fact that the subject of the benefit was in attendance. I really don't need to get preachy here. You get my drift.
Anyway... Take care of yourselves.
