Here are two young sisters from Sweden covering a Fleet Foxes song. I've never heard Fleet Foxes, but this is pretty spectacular. Apparently they call themselves <a href="http://www.myspace.com/thisisfirstaidkit">First Aid Kit</a> and have signed to The Knife's <a href="http://www.rabidrecords.com/">Rabid Records</a> imprint.

<br />
There has been a lot happening on the Field Guides front lately. First off, we have a brand spankin' new rehearsal space in the old Pfizer factory building in our beloved neighborhood of Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. The building housed manufacturing and research operations for the pharmaceutical behemoth from 1849 until just a few years ago. It's a truly surreal place, full of hazard signs, old lab equipment, eye-wash stations, and lots of vacant and eerie corridors. Last year a bunch of <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/28/business/food-start-ups-flock-to-old-pfizer-factory-in-brooklyn.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0">local food start-ups began leasing space</a> in the abandoned building, and now our little band has a permanent home to practice and work on new material!<br />
<br />
(Here's more fascinating info plus photos of the building: <a href="http://www.scoutingny.com/?p=4058">http://www.scoutingny.com/?p=4058</a>)<br />
<br />
We got the space just in time, because we're gearing up for 2 exciting shows in October. It'll be a big, burly incarnation of Field Guides, bulked up for the waning of summer. There'll be a trumpet and a beefed up rhythm section and 2 or 3 guitars! And new songs!!!<br />
<br />
The first show is with our good friends <a href="http://www.benseretan.com/" target="_blank">Ben Seretan</a> (who's finishing up his residency in Alaska, swimming in cool waters and communing with bald eagles) & Alex Lewis, plus a cool band from Portland, OR, called <a href="http://alamedaportland.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Alameda</a>. It's at Cake Shop in Manhattan, a venue we love in part for its Swell Maps <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3S6XbN0TPr0" target="_blank">namesake</a>. I saw a great show by The Clean there years ago; perhaps we'll cover a tune by one of those bands while we're there!<br />
<br />
The show is on Tuesday, October 22, at 8pm. We're on third.

The second October show is on Thursday, October 24, at <a href="http://www.cameony.net/event/349053-beasty-brooklyn/" target="_blank">Cameo Gallery</a> in Brooklyn. We'll be playing with some heavier bands, including our friend Butch's band, <a href="http://beasty.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Beasty</a>.

We've worked on this album for what feels like eons, and it's finally gonna see the light of day, or at least the dim but glimmering glow of the moon...<br />
<br />
It features some of my heroes: David Byrne, Ad-Rock, Kathleen Hanna, Laurie Anderson, Matmos, Colin Stetson, Sarah Neufeld! It was produced by my good friend Shannon Field (<a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=leverage%20models&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CCwQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fleveragemodels.bandcamp.com%2F&ei=MJH5UczmN6vk4AOj54GgAQ&usg=AFQjCNF49vypZ23r_za6e1f4uzpB88Z91g&sig2=YBzpH1P4KfdYrdM1LAdt6w&bvm=bv.49967636,d.dmg" target="_blank">Leverage Models</a>, Stars Like Fleas)!

It was recorded at <a href="http://www.theisokon.com/Enter.html" target="_blank">The Isokon</a> in Woodstock, NY, by the inimitable and indefatigable D. James Goodwin (Snowflake). <br />

We're not quite skilled at dealing with death, though, so the conversation will have to center around the verdict—the acquittal of a man who, unprovoked and against the advice of a trained 911 dispatcher, trailed an innocent and unarmed young man and initiated an altercation that culminated in his killing the boy. </span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I was more affected than I anticipated by the verdict. I was naïve enough to imagine it could have gone any other way. When I heard about the acquittal, I was first saddened then outraged by the blatant injustice, the gross reminder of how terribly hostile our country is toward minorities, how we marginalize and disenfranchise and—shockingly—even allow men of color to be killed without recompense or reparation (that word should echo).</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">Many of you, like me, have acquaintances—or even friends—who, in a way that appears entirely divorced from our conception of reality and justice and ethics, don't see this travesty as a miscarriage of justice. I've found it hard to</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">understand their stance as anything but distorted by racist stupidity and ignorance. And I've been tempted to write these people off and out of my life (and my dumb social media feeds). But I think it's better, as usual, to engage in a dialogue and try to spread accurate information and work at educating toward empathy and an ethics of equality.<br /><br />I took my own advice when people on Facebook expressed views I found ignorant and appalling:</span></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I also had this exchange with a good friend:</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><b>Friend</b>: I must be missing something here bc I'm not racist and I think I'm pretty liberal but I'm not getting how the acquittal of Zimmerman is so monumental a statement about our country's culture/race relations. I didn't follow it extremely closely nor was I in the courtroom but it just didnt seem to be the cut-and-dry case everyone wishes it was. It feels like the media is forcing this conversation about race, pretending this is Rodney King 2.0, when this example isn't as obvious as that. I mean, it wasn't on videotape... So enlighten me. Seriously. Because I don't understand why this case is THE seminal case for proving the dysfunctional relationship between races in our country.</span> </span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><b>Me</b>: </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;">Good points. I think I agree entirely about this case not necessarily lending itself perfectly to the acute focus on race, and that that component of the case has possibly been overblown by some. But I think that it's impossible to neglect the fact that African American men are targeted—in NYC with stop and frisk, throughout the south in SYG states, and across the country with the dissolution of VRA. I can't imagine this case playing out the same way if Martin were caucasian, or if Zimmerman were black. And nearby in Florida, just days ago, an African American woman was convicted and sentenced for <i>firing warning shots</i> after being threatened by her husband. That is injustice. And it is inextricably tied to race. So I agree with you but I think this should incite another round of dialogue about how our country, even in ways sanctioned and problematized by our government, is dreadfully far from "post-racial."</span></span></blockquote>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18px;"><a href="http://davidsimon.com/trayvon/" target="_blank">David Simon wrote a great post</a> in which he said:</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">"</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">Behold, the lewd, pornographic embrace of two great American pathologies: Race and guns, both of which have conspired not only to take the life of a teenager, but to make that killing entirely permissible. I can’t look an African-America</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">n parent in the eye for thinking about what they must tell their sons about what can happen to them on the streets of their country. Tonight, anyone who truly understands what justice is and what it requires of a society is ashamed to call himself an American."</span></span></span></blockquote>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18px;">More examples of inequality and injustice have been emerging within the scrutiny now focused by this case. Like the Florida woman <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2012/05/11/justice/florida-stand-ground-sentencing" target="_blank">sentenced to 20 years for firing warning shots</a> to scare off her abusive husband. (Stand Your Ground apparently doesn't apply to African American victims of domestic abuse.) Or the jury in Texas that acquitted a man for murdering a female escort who refused sex. (That verdict is a reach even for a state that prides itself on capital punishment and has no regard for women's reproductive rights.)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">The blind eyes and dumb fears leading to these verdicts belong to the same malignant tumor on our American body, the same bile-spewing part that supposedly champions the "sanctity of life" and bemoans a woman's reproductive rights. T<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">he same cancer of voices that practice an especially depraved hypocrisy, that can support capital punishment but call abortion murder, that can support Stand Your Ground legislation but oppose any form of gun control.</span></span></span><br />

Other times it feels so small. The feeling-size of the world might be proportionate to the size of internal/emotional gravity. Or maybe it's more aligned with something more banal: the size of one's breakfast any given day, the number of hours and minutes and seconds slept through each night...<br /><br />All this is to say:<br /><ol>
<li>The night before I saw you I slept approximately 6 hours and 15 minutes. (I won't try to estimate the seconds; that seems foolish and unnecessary.)</li>
<li>The morning of the day on which I saw you, I ate yogurt and granola. And a banana. I drank a coffee, black. (From Café Grumpy, the coffee shop on the corner of Meserole and Diamond, in Greenpoint.)</li>
<li>My internal/emotional gravity was stronger than usual; I felt weighted, an almost unbearable heaviness of my being. (Do you too like Kundera?)</li>
<li>The world felt somehow both big and small. (Weird, I know.)</li>
</ol>
<br />Four things, if transmuted into lines, can form a square: ܛ<br /><br />That night:<br /><ol>
<li>You had on some really stylish specs. (What is your prescription?)</li>
<li>I was wearing an orange-y reddish lipstick. (Today my lips are chapped. The air is dry.)</li>
<li>Field Guides were playing on the small stage in the back of Pete's. (The guitarist's strap kept breaking awkwardly.)</li>

<br />
Ben Seretan—from Brooklyn—plays the electric guitar, sings, and makes "long music." If heaven exists, Ben is going to find it with delay pedals and join the chorus of angels. Guitars cascading like waterfalls, joyful and lulling repetition, droning waves of guitar filling the room and lapping at your ankles. Ecstatic Electric American Primitive. Influences: John Fahey, Earth, Alice Coltrane, the Minutemen. His latest recording, <i>New Song</i>, was released in November of 2012.<br />

<br />
FIELD GUIDES began, as so many misguided things begin, in a bedroom. The bedroom belonged to a boy who wrote some songs about women and bedrooms and mental illness. And plants and animals.<br />
<br />
FIELD GUIDES have lumberingly moved into the living room. They are a family now, featuring former or current members of Future Wife, BLUSHING, Heliotropes, PEELS, and the International Contemporary Ensemble. There are more songs now about Amelia Earhart and books and buildings. And plants and animals.
FIELD GUIDES sound, according to some, like "noisy pop." Or "tidal, shimmering, and poignant." Or like "that band with the guy and girl from Canada." Or like they're "ripping off Yo La Tengo." They take that last one as a serious compliment.<br />
