Everytime I look at you, pins me to the ground,
mirror me your memories please, and let me help you down


Wow. There is snow. And the hardest decision I have right now is whether to listen to Kevin Shields' massive-sound-perfection-band or the Shins.
The Shins might win considering that while I thought they were singing a pretty song about mockingbirds, they were in fact singing about a moat and a dead guy. MBV is probably playing a song with not-so-subtle allusions to sex. Not that there is anything wrong with that, the Shins song just surprised me.
Anyway, we've accomplished a good deal here in the last week:
we now have an mp3 from our Durham session up on our site, again, it's rough
we practiced for a couple hours in the cold the other night, that's how much we care, and we worked on new stuff at that
we are working on sending a demo out to book all over the place, and by "all over," I mean the south
and finally, we have some posters up on gigposters.com, just look under the "M" for us, or "W" in the designers for me.
I highly recommend also checking out: Casey Burns and Jay Ryan (fr. Dianogah). Their stuff makes me feel like a 5 year old with two lazy eyes, a broken hand and a crayon when it comes to the whole poster thing.
After that uplifting sentiment I'm off to work on my comic.
