The Softies - “Hello Rain” from It’s Love [KLP043]
I got to interview Rose Melberg a couple of days ago—you know, the sweet-voiced songstress behind Tiger Trap, the Softies, and her own solo material [Homemade Ship (KLP211)]. I couldn’t be more stoked to the Softies reunion that’s going to be happening at this year’s Folklife Festival, too. Find the interview on our weblog!
This auction has an amazing selection of special items (including two days at Dub Narcotic Studio) that have been donated from a variety of independent record labels to support a great family in need! Proceeds support the high cost of medical bills after several heart surgeries for an adorable little boy named Asa.
Beautiful men & their sweatshirts! Andrew Dorsett & Markly Morrison pose outside of K on Jefferson St.
Joel caught The Hive Dwellers in the middle of a jam session. “Tell Tale Heart,” with Calvin Johnson, Gabriel Will and Evan Hashi. The Hive Dwellers are totally hitting the road tomorrow for their six week tour. Check out the dates! Dance hard at a show near you.
We just found this in the basement (Dub Narcotic Studio), underneath some things—Calvin’s print-out of the lyrics for Ruby Fray’s “Mint Ice Cream.” (In case you want to try out the harmonies for yourself)

Chain & The Gang - “Bill For The Use Of A Body” (from Music’s Not For Everyone)
Today is our intern Katy’s last day in the office! She picked this song as her way of saying goodbye. She says that the song speaks for itself, and that’s the truth.
Goodbye, Katy! Good luck with everything!
