Pipe's "Ball Peen" now on Cy-Tunes!

Thanks much to Christina for alerting me to the fact that Pipe's long-out-of-print debut "Ball Peen" is now on Cy-Tunes. Go ahead and download it (all proceeds benefit Duke University’s Tisch Brain Tumor Center), and get ready for the band's show with Dry Heathens this Saturday at Broad Street Cafe in Durham. Grayson has the full news here.

Pipe show cancelled tonight

Just in case you haven't heard, Pipe's show at the Cave tonight has been canceled because Mike has Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever! Here's wishing to a speedy recovery so that they can play next week's xxMerge Fest.

In the meantime, in honor of Pipe, and to kick off what I hope will be a weekly feature of an .mp3 of an old vinyl-only release, here's "Ashtray" from the band's 1993 single on Merge.
