Celebrate the holidays with Thrill Jockey – they’ve created an advent calendar (with some stunning snow flake graphics!) to give away an mp3 every day until the Christmas!! TJ distributes a lot of great independent music … so you’re likely to find some gems. vosotros listeners should be especially excited about DOOR #4. The triumphant return of My Moon Boots … the perfect soundtrack for this holiday season!!! [and while you're there, check out the vosotros catalog in their FINA download store]

The extended vosotros family got some serious love on Indie 103.1’s “check one, two” on Sunday evening. Mark Sovel played “Messages” from B.R.A.M. and “A Window”, a song off Learning Music’s “The Greatest Hits So Far EP” [out now on vosotros - available from FINA for $5 and AmazonMP3 for $4.45! ]. Pick up this EP now – and catch Learning Music in full force on December 20th at pehrspace…

As you-all may remember, Gabe advanced to the finals of The Roots Remix Contest (thanks to your voting!!). Well the final round is coming to close – you can listen to our submission on Indaba’s site – and please vote if you’re so inclined – but the winner of this round is up to the judges. Gabe’s mix once again features The Years (gene coye -drums, sam barsh – keys, gabe – bass).

What’s up with cash only restaurants? Taco truck … I get it. Sit down restaurant that serves booze? Not okay. The other day I picked up a roll of quarters to do my laundry (it was so overdue that I was taping into the archives … clown pants, my smash mouth t-shirt, the whole 9). Anyways, I was driving home from work and had a serious craving for some Pho … they’ve got no love for the visa/mastercard … but their soup is soooo good. I decided I could rock the clown pants for one more day ….
