Notes Tagged: 'strong'

I might have to start charging for this stuff.

Okay, okay. Here’s what’s up:

Shows are great. New York really stood up on Friday for our show with the peerless Don Dilego. Daddy Wrall and I “sat in” for a tune off his most recent record, Photographs of 1971 (hint: buy it). From hearing the new tunes, sooooo many of you have been clamoring for a copy of Ooh La La, Sha Sha… which is as yet unavailable. Let me say this as a teaser: something off this record will become available soon. The form and location of this music is undetermined, but we will put something in your hands, believe me.

And Portsmouth, NH: oh how we love thee! Let me count the ways. Can’t wait to get back to the Red Door. See you soon, I hope.

For those of you that braved the rain and cut countless costumed celebrations in favor of getting down mf style: you win. We concede victory.

Many highlights from the weekend, but allow me to relate one in particular:

strongs for days

Or weeks more like it. The last three strongs have been all about the stamina show for Miss Fairchild. To those of you that have been persistently requesting a new blog posting, I apologize for taking so long. Here’s what’s up:

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.

the strong that was

Okay people,

I know how much you’ve been anticipating this post so let’s get on with it. Thanks as always to everybody that made this recent strong possible. And on strongs-

We’ve decided that referring to our four and five day “weekends,” which might start on a Wednesday or end on a Tuesday, and during which we might work fifty or so hours, not as “weekends,” but as “strongs.” The work week will still be known as the week or if you prefer, the “weak.”

And now the shout-outs/crap outs:

Say turd: late flights and squeaky breaks. Sawy word: great nights and triple eight.

Say turd: back pain and crazy violence on the “worst day.” Say word: happy gains and kareoke on DW’s birthday.

Say turd: way to go leavin’ ‘fore you’re sure, see? Say word: Dilego, Ziman and Moorthy

Say turd: cops with lame excuses ruining the fun Say word: topping thangs off with fluting a bun

Say turd: Chills, shivers; we’re all sick some. Say word: Bill Withers and Al’s kickdrum

We love you all,

The Great Dunlap (emphasis on LAP), SamueL P. Nice (emphasis on MNO) and Daddy Wrall (emphasis on 2-5).
