Dear The STNNNG:

Thank you for thoroughly rocking my ass and leaving the Circle A in ruins on Saturday. I would like to thank Chris especially for pissing off that gaggle of annoying girls at that table immediately to stage right. That made my night. The CD is badass.

+1 stepping on that girls shoulder was an act of genius....

Any interested parties wanna take a trip in the way back machine to the Circle A and Corral Room shows?

I've posted up a bunch of stuff to my flickr acct found in my signature.

Took a little while. Was sick, went to a wedding in Texas for a few days, was sick again, school work, real work, blah, blah, blah...

I like how the pictures in my house show the STNNNGrs making the transformation into hippie-dom after just one night in Madison...like butterflies emerging from their punk rock cocoons...

1) Bubbles?
Check.

2) Unplugged?
Check.

3) Big Smiles?
Check.

Not pictured: J. Ward & Ben L. = hacky sack action.

Honorable mention: Ben admiring the "Brother Thelonious" beer bottle.



Just something in the Madison air...

I'm not yelling out of appreciation for the STNNNG's Awesome Rock Power; i'm grimacing because Chris has his boot planted firmly on my junk.

If anyone's interested, we'll be playing 5-6 new songs on Radio K's "Off The Record" between 3-5pm CST tomorrow afternoon. It can be listened to online at radiok.org, and locally on air at 770AM.

We've cancelled our plans to tour Europe in May in favor of spending all of 2008 writing, recording, and working on our third full-length album. We will be playing few local shows, and as usual, as many out-of-town shows as we can muster.

Radio K has posted our in-studio performance in their archives here:

We're working on our third full-length in 2008, so this is a bit of a preview of things to come.

Can't wait for the new record. It better have a cover twice as good as the last two combined. That's a tall order, son.

These radio recordings are really good. Every time I play on the radio, it sounds like shit. Last one we did, the guy put reverb on everything. Yeah, that makes sense...

This session was actually pre-recorded at a local studio. I'm sure when it broadcast on AM radio that it had its typical AM radio flair.
