Brian Cook was kind enough to put a poster together for our gig at Bridge St. on May 12. These poster are printed on 11×17 glossy card stock and will be mailed to you in a tube.
Brian has done a number of posters for the Heirlooms and his aesthetic has come to define the Hartford music scene. You can see more of his work at on the Heirlooms Facebook Page and on Brian’s Flickr Page.
We’re donating $1 of every sale to the Red Cross to help out folks in Japan.

Q – How awesome is it that a daily in Kuwait is writing about the Drive-by Truckers?
A – Pretty mother-flippin’ awesome!
From the Kuwait Times:
Keller recently played a solo show in Windsor, CT and the cameras were rolling. Among the songs he played were intimate performances of long-time Mobjack favorites “Stammer”, “Northern Town” and “In the Dark.” Click the image below or trot over to our video page to have a gander at the videos from this event.

It’s almost spring; *sigh*…
One of my fondest memories is marking a double play between Cal and Billy Ripken in the newly constructed Camden Yards. Please lend a hand and get scorekeeping back on the front burner of the great American Pastime.
Baseball has always been obsessed with record keeping. The habit of taking score during a baseball game has existed since the beginnings of the sport; in its heyday it was nearly mandatory. Scorekeeping boils down the events on the field in an abstract manner, and there is no universal method. You can look at 10 different scoresheets and find 10 different ways of recording the same information. Scorekeeping is a fascinating art that has died out to all but the most rabid of baseball fans. I want to change that.
I have designed a set of scorebooks that are less cumbersome and more inviting than the soulless spiral bound grids that are sold today. The book is designed for beginners, with lots of spaces to take notes on what you ate, who sang the national anthem, where you sat and what the weather was like. The book is designed to be easy to carry and slick enough to get the attention of your friends, and perhaps ease them into the habit as well. The book will feature stickers(!), and a reference card with some common scorekeeping abbreviations. The corners are rounded and the cover has die cuts for that extra wow factor. Each scorebook has enough sheets to score 20 games.
