Here is a song for you. Here is the original.

In Memoriam: Samantha Jane Dorsett (Plan-it-X Records)

The dedicated fan community at Plan-It-X Records are reporting that label co-founder Samantha Jane Dorsett has passed away. Details are sparse at this time, but Sam recently suffered a 50-foot fall in Berkeley which resulted in broken bones and extensive spinal injuries. Earlier this year the Plan-It-X community released a benefit tribute to raise money for her recovery.

Dorsett (the “Sam” from the label’s slogan “In Sam We Trust”) co-founded the Plan-It-X in 1994 with Chris Johnston. She also released music on the label under the name Peanucle. Dorsett was credited as a founder of Boxcar Books and a member of the Long Haul Infoshop.

Our deepest condolences go out to Sam’s family and friends.

All we’ve got is each other.

In Sam We Trust.

The Hard Girls have posted a music video PowerPoint Presentation for the song “Punkers, Too.” The video presentation dispenses helpful information about Punkers while dispelling popular misconceptions.

The song is from the San Jose band’s debut split CD with The Albert Square, recently released on Silver Sprocket!

The Silver Sprocket Bicycle Club is proud to present Andrew Jackson Jihad: The Pillowcase!

Snuggle with your favorite Andrew Jackson Jihadist, screen printed in actual size right on your new favorite pillowcase! If you get tired of touching, flip it over to sleep side by side!

We made a batch of 120 to start on high quality 180 thread-count pillow-cases.

Who knows how long they’ll last or if we’ll make more? Available for mail-order right here for just $14, and on tour soon from Andrew Jackson Jihad!

Send in your pictures of the pillowcase in action. Our favorites will get posted online.

Credits: This one was a big team effort. Eoin came up with the idea, Jessie made the sleeping caps, Elise wrote the words, Avi organized everything and took the pictures (using Brooke’s camera after smashing his, in Sacramento at Kevin Second’s coffee shop after hours), then Steve at Contagious Graphics did the color separations and screen-printing on oversized equipment he built by hand just for this project.

Coming soon: A split 7″ with Andrew Jackson Jihad and The Gunshy! They’ll be recording it together in Chicago as one big super-sized jam-band, holy crap I can’t wait!
