First of all, thanks to everyone who linked to my Indie Covers post. It’s by far the most successful post I’ve ever made. I wish this post would be longer, but I’ll warn you that after I’m finished, I’m running to Family Buffet to have dinner.

The New Pornographers will be on KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic Friday, August 26. I’m sure this will only further encourage me to make it up to see them at the Southgate House. For tour dates, check out Matador’s site.

Spoon completed work on their video for Sister Jack and will most likely be showing it off sooner than later.

Here’s a quick recap of artists and their status in the studio:
Cat Power is completely done recording her new album.
Mogwai is putting the finishing touches on theirs.
Belle and Sebastian are holed up somewhere (LA?) recording their next album.
The Apples in stereo are still recording away, and as previously reported, are looking for a new label. Here’s a (poor quality) sample of one of the new Apples songs that I recorded in Lexington.
MP3: Robert Schneider - Skyway
