Rock Rock Rock

I opened this page thinking I had way more to say. . Well, actually I wouldn't say I'm at a "loss for words" so much as I've got so much going on inside my head that actually nailing down what I'd truly like to say might be difficult. Perhaps a bullet style blog is in order for this go around. This is a whole bunch of long status updates.

  1. Just watched "Heartbreak Warfare" live from The Beacon Theater last night. Owing to the fact that The Turn was also performing I/we were unable to attend. There are parts of me that are pretty bummed to have missed it, but also parts of me that are glad. After all it's not like John Mayer postponed his gig to come and see Pat and I at The Pig 'n Whistle on 2nd Ave. And I don't take that personally.
  2. I just want to make sure nobody ever loses sight of how amazing The Beatles were/are. Some woman last week at Sojourn mentioned that she thought "The Beatles are boring". For a brief moment I thought she was from another planet. It's cool if you don't want to listen to them all the time. But if you can't think of a Beatles song you'd like to hear, you've lost all of your request line privileges.
  3. Them Crooked Vultures streamed their entire record up until the day it came out. Now I'm going to go buy it. Awesome.
  4. Guitar is the best thing. If you ever want to get yourself something go buy a Mitchell MD-100S. It's less than $200 at pretty much any guitar retailer in the world and it sounds awesome. It will also last forever. I have two. They're both 7 years old and still sound awesome.
  5. David Gray kicks ass. He keeps on kicking ass.
  6. I couldn't possibly thank everyone enough for all the support we've been shown over the past two years. Nothing gives me/us greater pleasure than to have the opportunity to perform and play music with/for all of you. Let's keep this relationship going awhile, what do you say?
  7. "It's an industrial strength hair dryer, and I can't live without it." Will never stop being funny.
We'll have more updates on everything soon. In the works are (more bullets). . .
  • New t-shirts (Mr Rich Verdino is working on it as we speak)
  • New website
  • New record
See y'all at the show.
