Sometimes I like to start off these updates with some sort of news story tie-in or something - maybe a joke about a current event. Just, you know, so we don't look like self-centered, ego-maniacal jerks that assume you come here only to hear about what our awesome band is doing. This time I'm not going to do that, I'm gonna go straight to the band update. I mean, it would have been funny to make a joke about like, that guy who yelled "YOU'RE A LIAR" at Barack Obama at a student council meeting or something where Barack was talking about how people are dumb now and kids should try harder and teachers should smoke less weed. Or I could have made a joke about how Serena totally cussed out the line judge at the U.S. Open and was all, "I'm gonna shove this mother effing t-ball (tennis ball) down your throat you mother effing punk!" and then she got banned from tennis like Happy (the Adam Sandler character) in Happy Gilmore or something. I don't know, it's just, there's so many people yelling and I'm all about good vibes and chillin' and that's what this band is about.
So, jumping right into the band update as I said I would, we've been recording a full length. Yesterday we reached the point where we have basically everything recorded except vocals for one song because I suck at writing/singing/preparing and couldn't get it done in the lab. We call the studio the lab.
The songs are real cool, you guys should probably like them. The sound on this record could be compared to like, our 7", or maybe the EP before that. Basically almost exactly like the old songs. We have not progressed in any way since our last release and I'm excited for everyone to be surprised at just how much we didn't progress over a one year span. (J.K. though, it sounds a little different maybe).
Speaking of the just kidding thing, I bet J.K. Simmons thought his name was pretty cool when literally no one else went by J.K., and then the whole AOL IM thing happened and it was like "Ah fudge! Well, everyone already calls me J.K. so what the heck? Gotta hang tough. Right Junebug? I run a newspaper for crying out loud!" And now that the whole AOL thing has kind of died out he's probably happy he stuck to his guns I'd bet. There's a lesson there.
And one last sudden change of topic with no transition to conclude this thing. If you want us to play a show you can ask us, we still like doing them. We will probably play like shit because we haven't practiced in a while because we've been recording and sitting around watching Greek on Hulu (that's mostly just me) and Lost on DVD (that's mostly just Matt). But ask us to play shows anyway because we enjoy it and we have to somehow sell the 40 t-shirts sitting in a box in our house.
