Some of you may not care, but for those of you in Ohio, Illinois, or Michigan, here are some new Over the Rhine dates -- if you've not caught them recently, you're missing out. They are currently supporting their two new discs, "I Don't Think I Need Nothin" and "Amateur Shortwave Radio".

Saturday, June 5, Schubas, Chicago, IL. (2 shows)
Sunday, June 6, Peabody's Down Under, Cleveland, OH.
Friday, June 18, The Ark, Ann Arbor, MI.
Saturday, June 19, Canal Street, Dayton, OH.

Also, the Vigilantes of Love are currently touring, and I hear have recently regained the rights to their incredible new album, "Audible Sigh", which they hope to have out by Cornerstone. Here are some dates that might be of interest to some of you.
