DJ Vinyl Night every Tuesday continues to build. I only had to take home 3 leftover donuts last week…phew! Early on I nearly hurt myself with easy access to a lot of unclaimed chocolate and those jelly filled ones, lordy. Y’all keep coming. Join the vinyl army. Its fun, and best of all The Man can’t control all the vintage records and small label releases like he does everything else from MTV to Best Buy and iTunes and commercial radio. In other news we are pleased by the new release from The Baseball Project, an all American concept of a CD by a collective of characters loosely resembling that irreverent gang of garage rockers known as Minus 5 (this time its Scott McCaughey, Steve Wynn, Peter Buck, and Linda Pitmon). The most fun and grungy-est baseball rocking you’ll ever hear, likely. Equally pleasing and entirely different is the beautiful new release by Rebecca Martin, one of our favorite singers, writers and people who has been in the Horizon fold since her first band Once Blue stole our hearts back in the mid 1990’s. That’s about it except a sad farewell to Isaac Hayes — Shaft will always be the Man and RIP, Do Your Thing, baby.

Oh yeah check out some nice words from www.scenesc.com–Thanks scenesc, and see ya around the pool.
