Just spent an hour talking to the former owner of the Electric Lounge in Austin, Texas - one of Morphine's first sold out shows in 1994. He is a filmmaker and has decided to act on a ten year vision of putting together a Morphine documentary.

Further good Morphine news: Rhino is purportedly releasing the 4 CD box set this summer, a huge concert will take place in Mark Sandman Square this fall in memory of the 10th anniversary of his passing, Orchestra Morphine is in the studio and working on some music.

I am putting together a basket or two or three of Morphine memorabilia including signed posters, t-shirts, music, etc. The online auction begins but my items won't be up until late January. If you are interested in bidding go to www.KXCI.org
