Items from the notebook of a guy who still carries one around:

‣ Light a candle for local garage-rockers Moses Campbell [pictured], who announced last week they were calling it quits. From Facebook: “I can’t believe how far we came and how much we learned. It was a life-changing experience.”
‣ Three years after they released their full-length “Healthy Geometry,” local favorites Vanaprasta has rebooted under the name Sun Drug. Their first show
Monday as part of Dorothy’s residency at the Bootleg saw the quintet inching back toward guitar-based jams after teasing early this year with two songs that were synth-heavy. Their new songs seem to strike a happy (and epic) medium.
‣ Nonprofit radio collective Dublab, celebrating 15 years, is engaging in its biannual fundraising drive. Sun Araw composed Dublab’s “Proton Drive” theme song [downloadable here], and there’s some sweet swag available in return for your generosity.
‣ Jenny Lewis heads up the lineup for “Fun Lovers United!,” an evening of music and comedy on Nov. 18 at the Echoplex. It’s a benefit for Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, and it also features Sarah Silverman, Neil Hamburger, Tim Heidecker, Mike Watt & the Secondmen, the Everyday Visuals (with Pierre Reeder of Rilo Kiley) and Kurt Braunohler.
‣ And speaking of Lewis … The Postal Service’s documentary “Everything Will Change” (which comes out Nov. 24 on DVD/Blu-Ray from Sub Pop) will be screened at 8 p.m. Friday at the Burbank Town Center 6
(770 North 1st St.). It’s a Justin Mitchell-directed concert film that includes footage from live shows along with interviews with the principals Benjamin Gibbard, Jimmy Tamborello and Lewis about the 2003 album “Give Up.” It’s $10.
