NY People

If you live in NY and read this blog, firstly I am very flattered, and secondly you should finagle yourself one of the limited seats at the Journal Gallery on Thursday for The Sads 'silent show'. Guitar, modular synth, electronic drums, keys, and vocals will be audible only through headphones. Weird, yes. I believe their will be around 40 sets. If you don't know, The Sads are LA's Traveling Wilburys, a veritable all-star band. Alleged Gallery's Aaron Rose, Unwound and The Melvins' Dave Scott Stone, photographer Dan Monick, Moonrat's and intermittent Family staff member Aska Matsumiya. If this weren't enough the Sads are represented by Teenage Teardrops, so their recordings have Cali Dewitt's seal of quality.

And speaking of Dave Stone, this gem just arrived:
