They have good company in the Chapel Hill music scene, and along with good ol' Merge Records and other indy outfits in that area are recording and releasing really great stuff.

We had a pile o' holiday cards awaiting us upon our return to CT, and we have a few more things to mail out if you never got one of our cards. Sit tight!

Tonight we have a small NYE gathering to attend. The "theme" is food fit for a King and/or Queen. Mrs. Cupcakes has prepared a "King Arthur Flour Chocolate Indulgence Cake". I have secured a small quantity of red and black caviar, smoked oysters, and as a royal joke, a few tins of "King Oscar" sardines. I wanted to go get a bag of Whoppers™ from Burger King, and some of those paper crowns they give to kids, but the timing wasn't right.

Denim Polygon Children


Denim Polygon Children, originally uploaded by doctorhectic.

Went to Northampton, MA this weekend and bought some music. Bad Brains live at CBGB, a 45 by some Swedish band called the Rockets, and a 45 of Truck Drivin' Man, as performed by Bill Woods and his San Joaquin Brass Band.

This is a picture, however, of Rebecca's Happy Tunes record player playing Johnny Mathis' Christmas album.

That is all.
