Notes

pre-holiday greetings

Well, Miss Fairchild was firing on all cylinders this weekend.

We rolled through our best Boston show to date. Thanks to Great Scott and all the fans who came from near and far for making that happen. (And Jon- you get the MVP trophy…) Certified Bananas, Big Digits and Hott Beat all killed it as expected.

Samuel P. Nice and the Great Dunlap mastered their newest EP, to be released under the name ‘Spinning’ very soon. It sounds great and we’re sure you’ll love it. Those of you who played on the record will be getting copies soon.

We enjoyed a wonderful show at Space in Portland. Woopla Fauna (Sontiago, Moshe and Erin Davidson) were excellent. We are so lucky to have shared the stage with you. Thanks to Todd, Todd and Ryan for their help organizing the show.

And we saw the release of not one, but two (2!) new records: The Housing Prodgect EP and Lipschitz: Jed Sed, our Christmas and Hannukah offerings, respectively. They are both available online and for a special holiday price. Early reports are very positive so get ‘em while you can. The Housing Prodgect disc is limited edition and includes the much asked-for tracks “It’s Your World” (the peppermint stick song) and “Starstruck” (the mirror song). “Jed Sed” is the first solo full-length by Nantucketastrophe poet laureate Lipschitz. Miss Fairchild produced the entire record collectively and individually and we’re really proud of it. Check out a couple of tracks at myspace.com/jedsed

Well, have a great holiday everyone. I’ll be sure to give updates as they come up.

thopie!

Well, the show with Lipschitz in Chicago was fantastic. Thanks to all of you who came out. We’ll let you know as soon as the disc is available online. Filthy Rich (of “Talk” fame from Nothin’ But the Bomb Period Vol. !”) surprised us by driving up from Kentucky and we all had a blast. It was great to see Ma, Pa and Sis Lipschitz at the club.

We loaded the gear into the car before going to bed, so that we could get a quick, fresh start on three hours sleep as we headed to NYC for the night.

And we did all that. P. drove first, and we stopped to caffeinate after a couple of hours as we were all exhausted from the late night finish in the windy city. That’s when it happened. Thopie (our trusted vehicle, remember?) shuddered, and then powered down. We coasted to mile marker 139.8 and called that most-relied upon service: AAA.

portland, portland, home away from home...

Hiya folks,

We’re in Chicago now, after two (somewhat grueling) days driving from Portland. We were only nearly run off the road by an enormous truck one time and we enjoyed our fifteen minutes of sleep at the Day’s Inn down the road from the University of Wyoming. REAL highlights include the Cracker Barrel in Lincoln. Nebraska and our secret weapon late-night driving music.

What, you didn’t think that I was going to tell you what our SECRET weapon is, did you?

food!!!!!

Okay, we finally found a place, a state really, that none of us had seen before. And it’s called Oregon. WE love it, the people are great, we might have to move here. But let’s rewind and re-examine what has transpired since last we spoke.

Well, well, well… Here we are in Los Angeles. We have two shows to recap and many people to thank. So let’s begin where we left off: SF (not Frisco, a mistake I will not repeat…)
