Hard core editing sessions lately.

Taking it down in 4 hour increments when I get home from work. If I had to guess, I’d say the initial, rough cut is around 70% complete. 

There’s just so much footage; it’s like a whale beached itself, and I have to carve out the nicest piece of whale-steak from the carcass, [...]

Just read that former Long Winter Sean Nelson will be hosting the morning radio show “The Morning End” on Seattle radio station 107.7 The End next week, March 23-27.

Say what you will about The End and their merry-go-round of host and format changes over the years, but I think bringing in a local musician to host [...]

In what will likely be the last review the Live at the Showbox DVD gets, we have one from Blurt Magazine.

Many reviews have come in the form of backhanded compliment, along the lines of, “well, live show DVDs are generally garbage, but this one is pretty good!” In that way, it’s nice to at least be near [...]

Just updated the dorsiafilms.com site with a few housekeeping changes. A few things you might notice:

In an effort to transition away from auto-playing Flash videos, we’re switching to the more user friendly Vimeo embedded videos. This should make it easier to both post more clips and for other people to embed them in their own personal [...]

I was cleaning the lense of my camera before going to John Roderick’s house this week and thinking about how long it had been since our last on-camera interview. Too long, and the dates written on my archived tapes proved it. I had become sidetracked with the production and release of the Live at the Showbox [...]

I hope everyone had a great time celebrating their mono/multi/a/theistic holiday of choice.

A few more reviews are online, one from Tim Hanken at Easy Street Records, a really great music store in Seattle, where they made it a “Staff Pick”.

Another from My Old Kentucky Blog.

Have you already purchased the DVD? Did you like it? Did you [...]

A few more reviews to read:

One from The Stranger, and another from The Seattle Weekly.

The DVD is selling really well, and it makes me happy that so many Long Winters fans have something to watch and re-watch until the band goes on tour again.

Be sure to support your local, independent record stores this time of year. [...]

You’re so good at waiting; it’s about time.

The DVD is out today, available at many independent music stores around the country, and online at barsuk.com. 
To commemorate the occasion, three audio tracks (Scared Straight, Clouds, Cinnamon) have been released for your free listening and downloading pleasure here.
This morning, be sure to listen to 90.3FM KEXP in Seattle, [...]

Good news:

You can now pre-order the Live at the Showbox DVD from Barsuk.com!

I’ve been told that they’ll begin shipping orders that come in beginning tomorrow.

Also, the first review for the Showbox DVD just got published and it’s very positive. Thanks Victoria!

I’ll keep posting reviews here as I learn of them. Even the bad ones.

Finally, tune in [...]

What was supposed to be a big update will be shelved until next Monday, at the latest.

The thinking is that information like links to how/where to buy it would be best released as close to the release date as possible.

It’s not my choice, but I get where they’re coming from. What do you think? Good idea/bad [...]
