new single "Monday Morning", Soda Bar 4/25

with the album nearly finished, we're getting the first single out as fast as humanly possible! at our upcoming Soda Bar show (this saturday, 4/25) ... we'll have an extremely limited number (44 copies) available for ... FREE!! that's right, get our new single (complete with b-side "it's out of your hands, chuck berry") for $0. it's streaming right now on myspace, so check it out, and if you want to snag a copy arrive early (though you should probably do that anyway, as we're on first)

unable to make the show but want to get a copy, don't fret. we'll have details soon about how you can sign up for our mailinglist and get a free digital download of the single. stay glued to the blog for the deets.

and don't forget, mark your calendars for Friday 6/5 .... "Where Does It End?" CD Release show with Writer .... epic.

look! finally uploading video from february...

that is me attempting to make a youtube playlist containing the videos i'm (finally) uploading that Matt took via eric's camera, during our last recording session with Deborah (and Mark) at Signature Sound. granted the recording session took place on 2/14, and it is now 4/6, but hey, better late than never, right?

also, the first video clip matt took was 12 minutes long, and youtube has a 10 minute limit, so i'll need to cut it in half, or take out 2 minutes, before i can upload that, which is why the first clip up there starts at "part 2"

oh its good to be back home.

coincidence?

upon closer inspection, there are 88 albums in my itunes that have exactly 14 tracks on them. my birthday is on august 8th. if that means i should not add any more albums with 14 tracks on to my itunes, then i think it invalidates the email i just sent to Matt Eric and Stoph. and that would probably mean that the mysterious song known as "It's Out of Your Hands, Chuck Berry" will once again be back on the chopping block...

we made it!

got back to the practice space at (i think) 12:07am, after leaving Portland at 620am yesterday morning, taking del taco to go from Redding CA for lunch, and in-n-out to go in Kettleman City for dinner. i took over the driving reigns at the gas station in Ashland, OR, and drove all the way to Kettleman City, only to be given the golden handshake as matt took the van that might be known as The Hulk(ster) the rest of the way home. so close to having driven the entire length of California on my own, but what can you do. i'll let the other guys give the final list of how many cds we went through over the drive, and what 3 states' license plates we failed to see (yes, we kept track of seeing plates from 47 states + 4-ish canadian provinces + baja). so just a quick shoutout to Qwong, The Tanked, Mr Joy Boy, You Yell You Kick, and Whiskey Goat, plus Eugene City Brewing, Amnesia Brewing, and McTarnahans, for a wonderful weekend. ok back to work...
