Our own lovely Annie Clark, aka St. Vincent, will be in studio with Jake Fogelnest all next week on Sirius XMU (channel 26) in the 10-11AM hour (EDT). Listen as she guest DJs, engages in various jibberjabber with Jake, and airs tracks from her Sirius XMU live session that will air in its entirety on Wednesday, August 12 at 9PM EDT. What’s a better way to spend your 10 o’clock hour than with St. Vincent and perhaps some coffee? That’s what I thought.

Just landed in Vegas. Just 3 hours late. Luckily this town is never short on entertainment options.

The Veils will be rocking the 7th St. Entry in Minneapolis tonight, but before that, Finn Andrews will be playing a solo set live on the mighty Radio K. Minneapolitans and those in the area have a plethora of frequencies to potentially tune in to: 770AM, or 106.5, 100.7 or 104.5 on the FM dial. Those of us not in the Twin Cities must content ourselves with listening online. It all goes down at 4PM Central.

To help welcome Jocelyn to the Beggars team, Jarvis Cocker* stopped in the office today to give her some pointers on how to generally be awesome.
First we hit the kitchen and Jarvis* made us some of his signature black coffee!!!
Then we had a meeting on how to look cool without really trying!!! Jocelyn starting practicing right away.
Then Jarvis* showed us some of his favorite YouTube clips!!!
Then we showed Jarvis* some of Beggars hot new titles!!!
Whew… what a day.
THANKS JARVIS*!!!
* Jarvis did not actually stop by the office today. That was, in fact, a cardboard cutout.
