Shrimp Job
SALEM, N.H. – A Massachusetts man has pleaded guilty to being a serial shrimp shoplifter at a New Hampshire supermarket, but hasn't explained why he couldn't stay away from the frozen fish. John Silvera, 46, pleaded guilty to charges of shoplifting and simple assault in connection with his arrest last month. Police said he stole about $500 worth of shrimp in four separate trips to the Salem Market Basket.
The Eagle-Tribune reported his plea deal required him to waive extradition so he can answer to another shoplifting charge from Methuen, where he is accused of making off with a jacket full of frozen shrimp at a Market Basket there.
Silvera was expected to spend several months in jail before being sent to Oklahoma to face drug trafficking charges there.

Folk Songstress Eddi Reader - Love is the Way
April 21 Rough Trade will release Love is the Way, the new album by Scottish singer/songwriter Eddi Reader.
Born in Glasgow, Eddi Reader began busking in the late seventies. She enjoyed a brief stint with Gang of Four as a backing vocalist, and later became a session performer for the likes of The Eurythmics and Alison Moyet.
She then joined Fairground Attraction, whose debut The First Of A Million Kisses won the best album award at the 1989 Brit awards. After their breakup she continued as a solo artist and acted for BBC Television. Many of the songs on her new album were originally intended for inclusion on a "Best Of" compilation, but Reader was so fond of them that she grew more inspired and created a complete album.

Big Fresh
B.F.F. (Big Fresh Forever)
(Garden Gate Records)
Streets: April 21
The glow on the horizon grows brighter until... the UFO is outside your window. Bending circuits, plastic travelers wave from within. If they are singing, invite them into your room. Big Fresh comes from beyond, bearing bright gifts on Garden Gate Records, the newly launched label by Robert Schneider of The Apples in Stereo.
Lexington, Kentucky's beloved pop superheroes have been hard at work in the laboratory since Yes, Nice, Please, Thanks (2001, Aquapop Records) electrified the regional college radio airwaves. Their U.S. tour last year opening for The Apples in stereo broadcast their pop manifesto to head-bopping masses, disseminating a 150-copy limited pressing of their newly completed album.
Who are they? Artists, filmmakers, electronic experimentalists. Two compose screenplays. One composes songs that sound like science fiction. One grew up steeped in psychedelia, his father and home-recording legend R. Stevie Moore creating magic in their band Goods and other groups. But that is water. What is ice is that they have produced a very cool record, B.F.F.(Big Fresh Forever): crystalline pop rainbows beamed through a prism.
B.F.F.(Big Fresh Forever) is an ambitious tapestry of danceable hits, bubbling soundscapes, electric light harmonies and synthetic orchestrations: alternately gorgeous and playful. Produced by Big Fresh in their home environment and mastered by Robert Schneider (The Apples in stereo, Elephant 6), this shining album will transport you to another world.
For the purpose of concluding our propaganda with informative content, we interviewed the group in a controlled environment, and transcribed their terse responses below:
New Album: “We've been working on it for the past seven years. We have lots of recordings that didn't make the cut. We felt it was important to release something short and tight.”
History: “We've been a band for 10 years. Our first band name was Meat Tape.”
Other Projects: “John plays in The Apples in stereo. Ben and John both play in Ulysses with Robert Schneider. Danny and John play in Deek Hoi. Jeremy plays in Joybombs. Dave is in Club Dub.”
The press release reads as follows:
Album tracks:
01. Secret Public
02. W.L.U.V. (MP3)
03. Janius
04. W.T.O.
05. Joy Bomb #1
06. Large Crowds
07. Losing Friends to War
08. Entertainment
09. International Date Line
10. Joy Bomb #2
11. Satan, No
12. Jean Jammin’
13. Heat Death of the Universe
