sweet monkey, tell me this isn't awesome

so i was ocd-ly going through all my mp3s and copying and pasting album art out of amazon for all the albums that didn't already have album art, so it'll all be there nicely on my new ipod, right? and i saw i didn't have cover art for Loverlee's Musical Chairs. and then the questions came:

they have their music on amazon.com?

are the modlins on amazon.com?

and then

i found this



now tell me that isn't awesome

new poster, new word, more shows

first:



thats this upcoming Tuesday, as in a week from today, at Cafe La Maze. as always, expect all your Modlins favorites, plus lesser-played songs as well, that you know and love from the albums, but sometimes don't make it in to live shows otherwise, but you still know and love from the albums, right? or something. also, this time, there just might be a little something something that you've never heard The Modlins do before. will it be a whole set without Eric breaking a string? will Stoph sing the whole set on his own, as the other modlins recover from laringitis? does anyone know how to spell laringitis? who knows. all i can say, is nothing

which brings us to point number two. a new word! when you try and picture something in your mind, without actually seeing it, you visualize it, right? so what about if you try and listen to something, without actually hearing it?

audiolize!

and on that note, more shows! Friday Sept 5th, Modlins have the distinct pleasure of playing with our friends Loverlee at the Knitting Factory in LA, as part of a night of awesome in honor of Justin Riner's Bday.



(i think we're the "& More")

Justin is the drummer from Loverlee, he likes sunsets and long walks in the dark, and he is getting older. i think. the show is ALL AGES, so bring your kid sisters, and your parents, because lets face it, we love you all, but those are some demographics just waiting and ready for a dose of Modlin. right? i think i'm rambling too much. also working out final details for another San Diego show very very soon, so yes.

and if i can figure out how to get pictures off my cell phone (forgot the actual camera at the 12 hour studio session last sunday), we'll get some of that up as well. happy tuesday!

phew .... who needs a nap?

so we've been brainstorming how we're going to get this all done. we want to have the album out by the end of the year (clean slate, fresh start for '08) so we're frantically working on the album. matt and i did more vocaling on monday and mr. smith will be swinging by to put his sweet pipes to tape today. we're also working on securing a venue with some local favorites we've either enjoyed or been meaning to be playing with. all in all, things are good in the modlins camp. we just played the tower bar with anna troy, which was a blast, and an acoustic set for loverlee's CD release which went really well. check out loverlee's new CD "musical chairs", it's pop goodness.

this weekend is another busy weekend, saturday evening our friend Emma Goo is having a solo art show down at the magpie boutique/gallery in south park (across from the whistlestop) from 6-10pm. That evening we'll be playing at The Ken Club for Roxy Jones' CD release show. should be a hoot. with squiddo to close out the night. then, the following day heading up to LA for a show with compilation-mates "sons and lovers" at the gig. Hot TV to support. check it.
