Bound Stems + Amy Sedaris. Hot.

Good news, Twins fans.

Bound Stems will be playing a special show November 15 with Amy Sedaris in Minneapolis, as she tours to support her new book, I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence. According to hosts Minnesota Public Radio, this event will "bring together writers, be they novelists, screenwriters, bloggers or critics, and some of their favorite musicians for an evening of music and insights that spring from the written word." Word?

Tickets are $15, and they are available starting today from Ticketmaster.

Here is Amy Sedaris doing pilates covered in sprinkles.

W-OXY!

Last night's show in Cincinnati gave us the chance to stop by WOXY and do some guest DJing. All that is well and good, but mainly it gave us an hour to drink energy drinks with Mike and Shiv.

You've probably heard the news, but WOXY is back up and running thanks to something called LALA.com. Whatever it is, buy what they're selling - they obviously have great taste and even better foresight.

Here are some studio-cam pics:



Also, a stranger named Julie made a beautiful poster for the show. Her website is 80percent.com.



Thank you so much.

Fine, fine.

Okay, it's true. We have a band crush on Maritime.

But seriously, look at Dan's posture in this photo, taken at the last of our shows together in Cleveland. Impeccable.



He even sits like this when losing all of his poker chips to Fleury.

Truancy.

We've been a little behind in the posts... probably because we're now playing shows with Maritime, and that always leads to some debauchery and a race to the next city.

Cheers to New York - we packed the Mercury Lounge last night and had a hell of a time. Special thanks to Thax Douglas, who read a poem just before our set.

Here it is now:

"Bound Stems #2"

intelligence
gift wrapped
with invisibility sits
inches away from the beautiful machine
still
glistening with birth -
the intelligence
wafts in through
two air hole labyrinths,
its paths becoming magnetic type
and thus immortal
to the organs
that read the tape
as "problems",
not knowing
what else to call
such a venture.


Gotta go sound check. More soon. Come on out, Boston, it's a beautiful night.
