I woke up this morning

with Shandi stuck in my head. That may be the only time anyone has ever uttered those words. I must be regressing.

I cannot believe

the Mountain Goats are a sincere band. I expect they'll issue a press statement one day to that effect. We'll all have a good laugh and people will pretend they were in on the joke all along.

Sandy Allen has died at age 53. She stood 7'7" tall. I knew who she was only by virtue of the Split Enz song Sandy Allen, from Time and Tide. RIP

He's Mustachioed.

It's not really happening. Wait, yes it is.

Super Mario Drums

Super Mario Brothers 2 was a great game, a classic. One of my favorites. An Italian drummer named Andrea Vadrucci apparently likes it too, enough to figure out how to drum to the soundtrack.

Something new / Something old

2007-10-04T00:01:00.000-05:00

Supraluxe has finally finished construction on the new (yet to be named) studio and we're excited about the next batch of songs. In revisiting some of the material that didn't make it on the last release, we re-discovered Sunday's Not So Bad (there were other shiny happy gems that got orphaned too). It will remain unreleased - we've moved on to new material. Sometimes good stuff is elbowed out by better stuff, but everyone has a couple "C" kids. They all come from the same place though and we love 'em.

As ubiquitous as it is and as reliant as we've become on it, it's easy to forget that it is not that old.

Shoes

2007-09-12T00:42:00.000-05:00

The saying is you can tell a lot about a person by their shoes, but there are better indicators. Ex: How someone plays their instrument speaks to their self image and social skills. How they draw faces - 2D, 3D, perspective, angle - tells you how they process and express ideas. And how they say they feel about these is most telling of all. Of course, how or whether we choose to analyze others says something about us.

None of these will be harmed in the making of the new CD

Unless Jim springs for one.

Let's go

2007-08-21T23:04:00.000-05:00

OK, Jim, Bill and Bob - I'm getting itchy to get ensconced in the new digs with you guys and start committing things to tape. Time's a wasting.

Very Interesting

Michael Tilson Thomas interviews James Brown. A musician interviewing a musician, so it's not the normal "Remember when you were in the Beatles? That was awesome" stuff.

There's nothing unique or original about your self-awareness. Discuss.
