My weekend was very nice went to Detroit Permeire and DVD release gig of the indie filme Wayne County Ramblin at Bohemian National Home in west corktown in downtown detroit the film which inclulde the one and only Rocks icon Iggy Pop, Dirthbombs Lead singer Mick collins and Detroit Soul Legones who also the narrator Nathaniel Mayer i came for the film and to see The Raining Sounds with ex-tough and lovely and now full time Bass player Carol Anne Schumacher who also told me she is also playing with the one and only Detroit Corbas, I hoped she surive Rachel Nagy. I was a good time as always and if you more info on the film and order a copy you can go to this address at www.waynecountyramblin.com.

on Sunday i went to a garged sale run by Eric Stollsteimer and and the always pretty and fit Marcie Bolen and the always wild Yasmine "Wildcat" Smith (And i know your asking no relation to Ex-Von bondies Bass palyer Carrie Smith) it was a nice day in detroit metro Eric told me i was a very good yard sale expect on saturday but the best story was on sunday when me a marcie was talk about old TV and "save by the bell" and there was one costermer was looking for something and he went to a long vinly records stack, and this guys who look thughit the stack saw his own record Collection which was a shock to him and Eric and to me as a looker on who hanging Out talking to a friend of mind, But there a back story to this story.

The peoson who brought his own collection was a big music fan way back in the 70's and used to go out to rocks show downtown at cobo hall and the ford auditorm and get the latest alblum and get the late hit vinly alblums that will be a millions seller and this guys used to be in some funk bands but then he slip in the very evil world of crack and he was addict and had a tought time geting off that stuff and it was hard to get out of it and worst have seel off the vinly to support the addtion which was the worst of all. but this guy who bought his vinly coltion have been clean for 18 months and is living a happy life and go to church, so yesterday was very special
indeed as he was reunited with his record collection and that is special.

Notes From the weekend

I saw Jon Moserie Ex-D.J. at WDET-FM who i talk to for the first time in a long time and i know it have been a long time he told me that he will be back on the air on CJAM 91.5 in windsor doimg his in sound show from 2:30 to 4:00 on thursday in a few weeks, the sation could be head on the CJAM web sight at www.uwindsor.ca/cjam or www.cjam.ca, He have work at WDET for ten years untill he was let go a couple of weeks after working for three months as Senior Music Producer untill a bad spring fund rasing froce to let go jon and other at DET, DET is tring to make up the $230,000 with a ask a friend to donate to WDET, right like that is going to work.

Speaking of WDET the GM who made DET a unlistenable station Michael Coleman was sentenced on Thursday to 2 years' probation and ordered to pay $3,500 in restitution
for his role in the fund-rasing embezzlement scandal at his old job at WUOM-FM In the no-contest plea sentencing agreement, a felony embezzlement charge of under $10,000 was dismissed and he was order to do 50 hours of community service in the no-contest plea deal of one charge one count of embezzling under $200 a reduce chage of what he was facing a felony embezzlement charge of under $10,000 which was dismissed, and it seem odd that Colman according to Wanye state own Student Newspaper "The South End" was not a court on June 22 but some one who work detpratment was at the earhing to report on it, Duh!

Also it look like there will be a Concert date merger in detroit on Auguest 4, a very good mole told me on Saturday night that the two concert at the sametime at the stick and at the state will not happend, The Go! Team which was suppout to be there first show in detroit at the stick on Aug. 4 will not happend, it been cancelled but my good mole also told me why that wolfmother have pulled out of there opener slot in the big show at the state theather in downtown Detroit with The Flaming Lips and Sonic Youth no giving on why they pull out, it may be becase there playing Lollapalooza at Chicago Grant Park at Aug.5, But Wait there more the same mole who told me about the go team No go at the stick and wolfmother pulling out of a big show at the state told me they found a replacemet for the show on Auguest 4 and guess what the replacement is The Go! Team who it a DETROIT CULTURE TONIGHT CONCERT MERGER, and what became a big show have become a supershow of lollapalooza preportion.

Speaking of WOW it look like one of our fave band from out state but in the Region, The Ponys from lovely chicago, IL have singed a worldwide, multi-album pact(about two)with Matador Records. good for you kids, The band from the windy city have released two CD Laced with Romance (2004) and Celebration Castle (2005) and there a fave around detroit, so we may be hearing more from them.

and now other things out side the 313 indie scene

And it look like Postal Service have begin work on that long awaited Follow up alblum to the well like, and well love 2003 alblum Give up that inderduce the world to Jenny Lewis who with her other band Rilo Kiley and her solo work made her the hottest indie rocker ever, in a recent interview on MTV.com, Ben Gibbard said "We're slowly starting. We're crawling right now, and whether that crawl turns into a walk remains to be seen. But we'll know more towards the end of the year. I've just been touring so much and trying to find time to make it happen and make our schedules line up."

"We're talking about wanting to finish an album by sometime next year,say Jimmy Tamborello "because we have to work with Death Cab's schedule and stuff. I definitely want to do another one".

He hoped that the lovely miss lewis will be more involed with the new alblum, but depending on her schedule, she might contribute as a songwriter on the new one

According to MTV.com, only two songs have been recorded for the album, but writing and recording will take priority once Death Cab for Cutie's tour schedule winds down.

Speaking of which thous who where hoping for the 1st new pixies CD in a long, long time after a very succful reunion tour, you may want to forget it pixies front man Frank black have told billboard have given up on trying to write new Pixies songs for a widely rumored, yet wholly unrealized sixth studio effort.

Black has reported writing several songs at the beginning of 2006 in an attempt to lure bassist Kim Deal into making another Pixies album. The results were less than encouraging. "I tried to find my Pixies muse and write a so-called Pixies number but they weren't any good," Black told Billboard. "They sounded a little contrived or something. That's the problem with trying to repeat something you did a long time ago."

Black have just releaase his new solo alblum Fast Man Raider Man just last week.
