NEWS & NOTES

First off, happy Bastille Day everybody. As it happens I'll be playing some records at Club le Baron, 6 avenue Marceau, Paris, 75008, this Friday, July 18, from 11 PM to 2 AM. So stop by if you're in the neighborhood and say hello!

Secondly, it's been gnawing at my conscience that there never was a "real" post on Monday June 23rd, so I've just posted a special 3-pak of songs on that day so as to solidify that week for posterity.

I guess that's it. Have great summers, everyone. I'll be back in September.

The Tempos: See You In September

Well folks, it's been nearly six months since we re-commenced back in January, and the time has come for this writer to take another sabbatical. It will be a rather lengthy hiatus this time, as I've got a lot of stuff to do this summer such as getting married, going on a honeymoon, and then going to Mike's wedding in August. But make no mistake: we'll be back in full force in September.

No mix this time, unfortunately -- I've been too busy with wedding stuff. But there will be a couple of little updates over the next week or so, and my colleagues will no doubt be dropping by from time to time over the summer.

Thanks for listening, everybody. I hope there have been at least one or two songs over the last six months that have tickled your fancy. Have a kickass summer. See you in September, and then... it's fucking on.
