Yes I end up posted here the most for right now. You know why? I have the most time on my hands and this is one of the ways I fill it. For the weekend I thought I would throw a couple links to some really good reads out there that you should check out. Both of them are friends of mine, so yes I'm biased, but they are great websites to check out. Here they are:
Rain on my Parade and Hipsmart

Thanks again to the few of you who sent suggestions on posting my pics and feedback on my site is always appreciated. Maybe someday I'll get up off my lazy ass and create a really cool site but somehow I doubt it. I'd rather concentrate on playing guitar.

Damon sent us a link to an advertisement of the tour bus we had. Pretty funny!

Good luck at your show in Madison boys!

Finally. Thanks to some help from Rina I was able to get a pretty basic thumbnail index of the rock pics I took on tour. Soon enough I'll post up all the other pics of random hanging out and stuff like that. This will have to do for now. Here they are!. Please post comments on my site about what you thought. Feel free to distribute them as you please, just give me credit where credit is due. Thanks!

Here is some info on our free show tomorrow night in Madison: The Union South address can be found here and Club 770 is listed under "Recreation". It's on the main level. The show begins at 9:00 PM and there is one opening band that I am told is Twinstar... Apparently they'll have the Union rigged up with 4 rooms of constant entertainment. Sensory overload.

Stay tuned for our upcoming show with Jurassic 5.

I need some assitance from you readers out there. I'm attempting to post my pictures on my site but the program I'm using is giving me the business. Does anyone run a photoblog or have any ideas of a good way to post pictures and tumbnails on websites? I know of image:magick but my host company won't use it. If someone could please email me with some ideas I would greatly appreciate it.

what up hounds? I'm just chillin' here in Cleveland, Ohio until Friday, at which time I'll be back to unleash the flamethrower on Madison, WI. In the meantime just sitting here on this beautiful day gettin' worked up listening to the new Queens Of the Stone Age record. It's sick as I expected. I also picked up the latest Rye Colalition - also a fuckin' monster! Me like's it. Fans of AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, and the Jesus Lizard should check it out. 100% ROCK! Makes me want to buy more amps.

You are correct Todd. I do owe you two bucks. I'll paypal the money to you, or better yet buy you a beer when I come to Milwaukee. Hopefully someone will get a picture of Bix's tattoo before he leaves town. I'm really curious to see how it comes out!

Home sweet home. I've been bombarded by a non-stop stream of bills and no money to pay them with. The temp lady is hard at work trying to get me work and I've been hitting the pavement applying anywhere that may be tolerable to work. Job hunting is zreo fun and i'd much rather get back out on the road, preferable playing. Speaking of playing we have our first full "band" practice on sunday. I'm super excited and we already have one song pretty much done from some previous "jamming". Be on the lookout for some mp3 posts as soon as we get something cohesive down.

Speaking of posts, I'll be posting some pics from tour very soon. I finally finished labeling all the pictures from tour and now all I have to do it upload them. Shouldn't be too hard of a task I hope.

I'm at home listening to the new Aimee Mann record. It's great of course... as expected..

For those not in the know seeing yet another familiar face from our posse around Milwaukee, our tech and all around great guy Bix is here for the week and is staying through our show on Friday in Madison, he'll be flying back on Saturday and delivering pizzas on that little scooter parked outside of Pies On by Sunday. Right now he's getting yet another tattoo, Milwaukee style. I dropped him with off my boy Lane at Adambomb just now. They'll treat him right I bet.

Hey Mercedes tattoo eh? Sounds ouchy.

Speaking of Bix mania: Look for a great photo of the tattoos on his back taken on tour last year during Vagrant America. It's in the new Anthem magazine available at your finer bookstores, it's the September issue out now under the photos of our friend Andrew Paynter. Lots of good photography in that mag. Pick it up. They have a site but it's not up yet, I think it'll be here.

Ryan, don't you owe me 2 bucks?

Listening to the new Jets to Brazil and it's a-ok. The new Coldplay is on the player next.. ahhh.. it's good to be home.

Yup, I'm back from tour and don't want to spend to much time here.. I'll post more during the week. All is good and our last show in Milwaukee was fantastic... don't think I've ever said that about any Milwaukee show. A big thanks to all in attendance. Thanks for coming out..

Speaking of great Milwaukee shows, I won't be here this Friday (we are playing in Madison at Club 770 for free!), so go see one of the best live bands in the world (according to me, of course): Shiner will be at the Globe. Don't miss it!
