April 6th 2011: Mark and Kristel steal a cassette tape from an answering machine in a tiny Chinatown Manhattan thrift shop. Upon playing it in her ancient knock-off walkman, Kristel discovers that it is one of the most beautiful recordings she has heard all year, and passes it to Mark. They take it to practice and it immediately becomes a prized musical possession. Karma dictates that they will pay. Fostercare is no longer able to play on the bill for 04/07/11 due to personal reasons.

No one came out in Montreal because Andrew WK was at some other venue.

Mark and I put some serious thought into it, and we couldn’t think of a single conceivable reason we would ever see an Andrew WK show.
Ever.

Otherwise, so much love on this tour.
Thanks all. ♥  especially Orphan Pool, 7777777 Life Support, High Park, Wet Nurse, and DJ Swayzeface.

T.L.D. Day #3

Since someone died on the highway and it was shut down for at least 8 hours, we had to shack up at a motel instead of a friend’s floor in a dorm room (college… gross. Don’t do it).

This meant an extra long drive to Toronto. Here’s what I remember listening to followed by my three word reaction:

Xiu Xiu - A Promise   (in the morning!)
Scott Tuma - Dandelion   (sweet weeds yum)
Joe Colley & Jason Lescalleet - Annihilate this Week   (fix this drone)
Pocahaunted - Moccasinging EP   (repetition repetition repetition)
Neutral Milk Hotel - Everything Is EP   (everything is milky)
The Good Life - Novena on a Nocturn   (happy birthday depression)
Soft Circle - Full Bloom   (good choice kristel)
The Microphones - Mount Eerie   (better choice mark!)
Exploding Star Orchestra - Stars Have Shapes   (better than jazz)
Perfume Genius - Learning   (too much promise)
Appleseed Cast - Low Level Owl vol. 1   (death of lo-fi)
Umberto - Prophecy of the Black Widow   (um, kristel’s pick)
Prefuse 73 - One Word Extinguisher   (um, my bad)
DJ Aubrey Beardsley - Live in the Car #1   (twin peaks remix!)
The Toy Library - Haunted Woodland   (1am toronto arrival)

T.L.D.

Mark and I got in a fight in the car today about his New Order rating.
