So, here's the only two pictures I've taken so far:








Enjoy.

i own th cosmos now, and my first act as govnor of the cosmos is to abolish th lttr "E"

So hav fun making sntncs without that lttr. Just kidding. You can all use the letter E--it's a good letter. It hasn't done anything to me, so why would i do something so mean as to banish it. E and I are good friends; we go fishing all the time. ... But i did buy the Cosmos. And for only $19.99. Plus tax. We managed to fit it into the suburban, but just barely. I also purchased Dubliners by James Joyce and look forward to reading it in between mixing sessions. Morales took home a copy of Ayn Rand's For the New Intellectual, and Chris bought an awe-inspiring volume concerning the making of the first Star Wars film (episode IV: a New Hope). Also a guitar magazine, a music review magazine, and one sentence fragment. And how could I have written this paragraph without my good friend E?

This is what it means to be in a band

So, we get asked a lot: "whats it like? What do ya'll do there?"

Well here's a small list of things that seem to be common to these trips:

We consume large amounts of the following: Ingelhoffer Mustard, Cranberry Juice, Pasta, Quesadillas, Grape Nutz, Kashi, and Graeter's Ice Cream.

It's Hot.

We eat at Chiplotles.

The Thomasville song plays at 830am.

We go back in time.

We goto Kroger.

We sit around the Philosophy table.

We drive to that street that has the Ice Cream shop.

We Skype people.

We go outside and look at the neighbors.

We take lots of pictures.

Moss takes lots of video.

We talk about Sufjan Stevens (not in a pleasant way most of the time).

That's pretty much what it means.

So, one day of mixing down.

We finished Hero, Of Explaining, and probably have finished Simulacra.

Amazing progress. This is all sounding real good. Exciting.

So, soon we're gonna venture into town, find a Best Buy, and a coffee shop.

Later, Patrick is gonna cook pasta.

I'll try and get some pics up later.

BTW...Final mix of Of Explaining is up on the Myspace. I would post it here, but I don't know how.

Does anyone actually read this?

So, Patrick Morales, Moss, and myself set off this morning to return one last time to Cincinnati with the goal of getting this record mixed.

So, what's next?

Lots.

Mastering, artwork, photos, jacket design, printing...etc...

Pending the above items, we're hoping for a July release.

We have Skype...so if anyone knows how to use that and wants to hang out with us...holla. Honestly, I don't know how to use it yet...so if anyone wants to provide any insite, it would be greatly appreciated.

And speaking of Patrick Morales...he's one of our favorite singer-songwriters...go check his stuff:
