Barsuk is now taking preorders for
Vanderslice’s Cellar Door. First
100 orders get a signed photo taken by JV. Also you can add a T-shirt to the order
for an extry 10 bucks. Apparently, there’s a big writeup on JV in this month’s Esquire.

You can also check out the new slideshow that JV has up, for the
new Spoon recording session. I guess one of the songs on the new one must be
called “The Two Sides Of Monsieur Valentin“. Anyway, also, Britt’ll be opening (solo) for the Zombies’
Colin Blunstone and Rod Argent on February 22 at Antones, Austin,
and will also being playing solo at the SXSW 12xu showcase on March 20th, along with
all the other 12xu-ers (including Sally Crewe, whose new
record Shortly After Take-off is set for release in September).
