Valentines

Hays and I will be DJing this weekend at the DC Record Fair at Black Cat. The line-up is pretty incredible and it's only $2! We would be there even if we weren't on the bill.

The line-up is us, Eric Hilton (Theivery Corporation), Geologist (Animal Collective), Ian MacKaye (Fugazi, Minor Threat), Kid Congo Powers (The Cramps) & Casper Bangs. We go on at noon.

From the Arts Desk

The City Paper quoted us twice this week, first in the Arts Desk's interviews with musicians on what they're doing musically to prevent cabin fever. Jess Matthews' (of America Hearts & Edie Sedgwick) is particularly good:

Then again, Aaron Leitko used a quote for the last line on his article recapping the insane FanDeath interview:

Also, The Yellow Stereo mentioned us in their album release previews:
