    After seeing PINE*am perform live on ATTACK OF THE SHOW a few weeks ago, I would love to see this upcoming gig July 1 at the Star Pine’s Cafe, but it’s a damn all-nighter, with me leaving for Shanghai the next morning. More info on Patrick’s Agenda.

    RELAX (July) has an all-iPod issue, again with a dreaded glossy cover (the pages inside are thankfully non-glossy).
