2001 Updates

December 11, 2001
~Updates, updates, updates.  Didn't we just updated this thing?  As a wonderful, frolicking, dear friend just notified me, we haven't updated the place in awhile.  That being the case, we do have a few updates to post.  We did post another song called "Faith In Yourself".  Go download it, do it now.  Hey I'm not warning you again.  We were going to call it "Desperation" but after researching the bazillions songs which had the same title, we decided on "Faith In Yourself".  It's a little unexpected and therefore slightly more artistic - or something like that.

~We are started to accumulate a number of songs for the new cd and pretty soon we will decide on outtakes and where the best stopping point would be for number of songs on the cd.  We recorded all the songs in our own studio so don't blame me for the quality (Disclaimer available at the bottom of the "music" page).  Mainly we are going for originality and some of the screw ups in the music are certainly original if not a blatant, crying example of our laziness....orrrr lack of money to use a pro studio.  After the production of the cd, we will post only a few songs here from the cd for free download...so get em while their hot.  Stop laughing.

~Two thousand and one has certainly been a weird year to say the least.  Terrorists suck.  And that's pretty much as clear and to the point as we can make it and about all I personally want to say about it at this point anyway.  Most everything else has been said anyway.  

~The economy is showing signs of bouncing back.  I, myself have invested what money I could scrape up in Marvel Enterprises - stock symbol MVL.  They are responsible for the Lord Of The Rings stories which will be in theaters soon.  It really looks like it will be a good movie.  Their stock went up when X-Men came out (another series of Marvel Enterprises stories) so maybe it will do it again.  (And maybe this time I'll sell when I'm supposed to - I have no stock market sense whatsoever.)

~We have another song written but not recorded.  It's just a matter of timing and discipline to get into the studio to record it.  So for the most part, things are looking up.  Which is a welcome divergence from the plethora of past perigees.  For as long as we can hold orbit, we'll continue to pilot this perilous puppy.  Ok, I'll shut up now.  We hope things are going well for you too and as Journey once said - "Be Good To Yourself".

The latest from the greatest - WornOutShoes.  New song called The Marshmallow.  It's about a combination of things - like people who think they are better than you and the time just after you put air in your tires and think how it was like riding on marshmallows before.  Come on people!  Let's take better care of our tires!!!  Long Live Tires!!!!!!!!!!!!    TIRES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  (Sorry about that outburst.  But you surely realize that a world without tires, is a world of bumpy rides - or a world where no one gets a flat.  Hmmmm.)

Happy traditional Columbus Day all!  Now don't get over emotional.  We just didn't want your day to be kaput.  New song on the way!

We are now on www.mp3.com!  Very cool.  Please check us out and help us go up in the charts.  We just got our first piece of fan mail via mp3.com from someone in Hamburg, Germany in a band called "DJ Mala vs. Patrick Marsh".  Seems to like our song, "Not Enough".  What can we say.  If someone from Germany likes our music, ya know we gotta be good.  We're world famous now!  Oh.  I mean we were all along anyway.  No really.  Anyway, thanks DJ Mala for your positive comments!

Just posted an updated "Again" song.  I've always wanted to add a jews harp to that song.  I finally did.  Whether the rest of the band likes it or not. Muahahahaha!!  We also re-posted "When It Hits The Fan" after some working out some technical difficulties.  We also began working on a site at www.mp3.com.  It should be approved in a few days.  Drop by sometime and download our songs again.  They're even better the second time!

Just posted another song called "When It Hits The Fan".  We were gonna call it something else but figured that would be too far out there.  We're far enough out there as it is.  WHERE out there we don't know, but we're out there - somewhere.  Hey, could someone give us directions to get back?  No.  Nevermind.  I just remembered.  We already been there.  That's why we came out here.  Ok, I'm just rambling now.  Trying to think of something more significant to post..............................................................................................well...........................................that didn't work.

Geez, I think my webmaster has been laying down on the job!  Well, I'll just have to edit this thing myself.  We just posted another song called "I Don't Know".  Yes, it's supposed to sound that way.  At least that's the story we're passing around.  Enjoy.  Went to see Glen Phillips again.  This time in Knoxville, TN and with four of my closest rent-a-friends.  I almost bumped into Glen on the sidewalk.  It would have been about my luck if I knocked him down, breaking his guitar and his arms or something.  I didn't say anything to him but the show was great and I look forward to when we can work him into our schedule to do a few pre-shows for us or something.  I'm sure he will jump at the chance.  In other news, well, there is no other news.  We're just a bunch of cool nerds playing musical instruments.  What more do ya need to know?  I would say something more profound, but I don't want to.  Figure it out for yourself.  If I just told you, that would make it all too easy.

The date - Thursday, May 17, 2001.  The time - about 10:30 p.m. edt.  The place - Magnolia Street Pub S.C.  The reason - Glen Phillips.  That's right folks!  Jack and I went to see the former lead singer/songwriter of Toad The Wet Sprocket, Glen Phillips, perform solo.  It was great and well worth the trip!  Preceded by Peter Searcy, there was no amplification and no microphones for Glen - just he and his guitar.  We all sat in a circle and Glen sat on the edge of the stage close to us.  Awesome.  Now, I've heard people play guitar and sing before.  But this guy makes you feel like your time and money have been really well spent and that you've come to see and hear something worthwhile.  His performance was absolutely masterful.  If you get a chance, go see him sometime!

I started to date this April 30 just so you couldn't say we went a whole month without an update.  Alas, life's circumstances didn't permit.  But we offer you a new song to make up for it!  Hope you like our newest release called "Again".  The raw, unbridled musicferousness of this supercofluous symphohonnic masterfuspiece is only second to its most flowing, rythmoscicidal sounditity.  (And for those of you less educated - it's a good song.  Don't you dare touch that dictionary.  Trust me.  Those were all real, live, actual words.)

On a another note, we are hoping to go see Glen Phillips in concert on May 17 in South Carolina.  We encourage all to do the same.  He's a really great musician whom everyone says has a great personality to match, and we are looking forward to it.  In case folks from Lapdog may be reading (right - hey it could happen), we would also really like to see you guys in concert so TOUR TOUR TOUR!!!  Check out www.glenphillips.com and/or www.lapdogmusic.com for info on them guys.

Hi kids!  Welcome to yet another happy update.  We should have done this sooner but....ok no excuse.  Just busy with our millions of fans and life on the road.  If you will go to the Photos page, you will see a link at the top to - you guessed it - more photos.  Woohoo!  No band picture yet but it's in the works now and will probably be the next update.  New song on the Music page called "Me".  If you like heavy metal, and I mean really heavy metal, well sorry.  This ain't it.

Well, we just got back from our tour in zip code 37642.  Let me tell ya, it really took a lot out of us.  Them people are wild. Anyway, we finally had the time to record another of the world's greatest lyrical/musical masterpieces.  The mp3 is on the music page for you to download.  It's called "Can't Be Said" and it's about um, things that well, can't be said....so if they can't be said, how did we say them?  Hey, we're just gooooood.  Yeah.  That's it.  And whilst ya'll buy that explanation, we shall now go try to think of another one for later use.  Happy Valentines!

The updates to the site are pretty obvious.  What may not be obvious is the upcoming birthday of our lead singer.  Haha. On the 14th, he'll be...........................nine.........................(ok Shoes, let go of my arm!)
