Media announcement/show promotion: We are stoked to go see Bonnie 'Prince' Billy at the teeny, middle-of-nowhere Bourque's Social Club tonight in Scott, LA, y'all. We are temporarily trading the V. on our name for 'Prince' as well as adopting the royal plural in appreciation. We did a story on Bourque's Social Club a couple months back, and here's a bit about the Calvin Johnson's Halo Benders/Ian Svenonious's Chain Gang show we caught out there last May.
In this week's Record Crate blog for 225, we get all fanboy squeely about upcoming shows by Bill "Hot Rod Lincoln" Kirchner, Philip "!" Glass, and So "they are really good y'all" Percussion. End announcement/promotion.

We'll stop now with the plural.
