Community notes:
- So, in the realm of cool shit coming up, Don Pyle is celebrating the launch of his "memoirish new book" Rough Description: Love Letters and Ghost Stories from a Life in Music, with an event at Standard Time on Thursday, May 28th. Expect a slideshow/reading by Pyle, followed by a conversation moderated by Damian Rogers. Plus fabulous guest readers Chris Colohan, Kirby, Jason McBride, and Tabatha Southey — and, quite astoundingly, special guest DJ's Georgia Hubley and Ira Kaplan from Yo La Tengo.
