For fans of Sarah Records, it’s been a year to reminisce and rejoice. So far there has been an art exhibit, a documentary film and a book announcement. Looking back is all well and good, and it’s certainly wonderful to see Sarah receive accolades in a way it never did when it existed, but let’s not forget there are still some… Continue reading Luxembourg Signal at Linear Tracking Lives!

Casper & The Cookies at Razorcake
Casper & The Cookies are an Athens, GA pop band that can be loosely linked to the Elephant 6 Recording Company Collective because of one of the members having been in E6 bands Of Montreal and The Sunshine Fix, among others.
