Tomorrow (November 13) and Friday (November 14) the Sea and Cake will invade Canada, playing Montreal and Toronto, respectively. For those looking to take in some of percussionist extraordinaire John McEntire's splendiferous fills, you may be interested to know that playing in the Sea & Cake and Tortoise, and producing every band from Trans Am to Smog to the Fiery Furnaces, aren't the only jobs that McEntire has going.

It turns out he also oversees an intergalactic courier service, well, just barely. Or at least he does in "Space Package," the third episode of Exclaim! TV's Dizzy Playground, featuring the always eccentric Spookey Ruben.

Hounded by a technologically inept, mistrusting boss, Hugo Van Lopez (McEntire), and thwarted by a pirate and queen in a rent-controlled ice palace on a planet of frost, Lincoln plays out a drama that would make anyone fear red liquids.
