i love analog

balls!  i just wrote this big long entry extolling the tascam reel-to-reel machine we got fixed (after many years of deliberation), and my computer did some crazy shit and erased all of it. 

so i'll keep it short:  we dug back into recording over the weekend.  analog is inspiring as shit.  put down three songs.  we're pumped. tape rules.



until the next,

west side

day two in west seattle.  set up in our friend's dope ass pad.  (many thanks to you Kelli!)  playing music, recording, filming.

brandon cahoon (the one who made the films for "Dead to Me" and "Alone") is here with us.

hopefully all the footage will result in some new stuff to put on the youtube, and also a promo video for our new album.

the sun is shining at this moment, and i am in love with seattle.



currently listening to:  paul banks

outside the confines

it's a perfect portland gray outside. 

today is our first day off after three shows. 

we are resting, and showering, and snacking, and doing nothing in particular.

every show so far has been unique in its vibe and cast of characters. 

i love being on tour.

i love the people we meet and the music we get to hear. 

i love that i can go to bed at 4am and sleep until 2pm two days in a row and not feel one bit guilty about it.

i love walking through neighborhoods i've never been in before and seeing the interesting ways in which buildings are decorated and gardens are designed. 

mostly i love feeling like i am living outside the confines of society. 



currently listening to:  this amazing tape by Nulla Cur.  ambient and tribal and totally delicious.  watching him create those sounds live at his house last night was definitely a tour highlight.



until the next,
