We’ll be hitting our old haunt The Maintenance Shop in Ames tomorrow night! Due to demand, we’re playing two shows in one night…Cowboy Indian Bear from Lawrence will open the first show and our drummer Scott Yoshimura’s side project, Canby, will open the second. We’ll be attempting to play some very old stuff and some brand new stuff as well.

Is It True Bread Eats Away At Your Brain?”
This morning began with a raid of the dvd collection, with Brandon selecting a trio of VH1 Classic Album documentaries. Black Album and Dark Side were entertaining, but you could tell everyone in Fleetwood Mac was lying about how much they hated each other during Rumors. Good to see Richard Dashut in there….
Once the drums were de/reheaded/tuned and A.J. got the mics up, Scott was racing through drum takes like a horse. Give It (All) Up, Mediterranean Song, Ms. Hospital Corners and Pilgrim’s Progress all got multiple passes laid down before being sent back to the Guest House for Logan to (graciously) edit. The first three songs went quite quickly as the arrangements have been around for centuries, however Pilgrim’s Progress may have some parts moved around before everyone can settle on it. It was only written last Monday, but that’s the fun of it…..
Scott, Brandon and I argued about the merits of the word “irregardless” – which, according to the OS X dictionary features an “illogical negative prefix”, which led to an argument of the merits of a dictionary made by Apple (for the record “irregardless” has no correct usage). Tiffani made chicken korma for dinner.
Seth, Nayef and Derek (of 1/Fourth) came by and we talked dance remixes and album art. More drums tomorrow….
Bye now.

New Album Begins
We’ve arrived at ARC Studio in Omaha to begin work on our new record, as yet untitled. We’ll be posting pictures and anecdotes as we go…
Ah, the Good Life.
A visit to perezhilton.com starts Micah’s day off right.
The tack piano in the guest house.
Too many guitars.
Q: How many idiots does it take to set up a drum kit?
BranDad approves.
If you managed to grab a ticket (they sold out within hours, apparently), we’ll be joining the likes of Cursive, Bright Eyes and a reformed Desaparecidos on July 31st in Omaha. Looks like we’ll take the outdoor stage around 6:30 just before Bright Eyes. Full lineup and details can be found here.
Turns out our little rock song paired nicely with a scene featuring Jeremy Piven’s character donning his game face before heading into a meeting with NFL team owners. As huge Entourage fans, we were quite happy to be included in the show, and we couldn’t really ask for a better task than inciting some classic Ari Gold fury. This season is off to a fine start notwithstanding, kind of reminds me of the season 2-3 heyday.
