Read the rest of this entryoh deary me did we go hard on this one. seven weeks out on this run and i am tie tie. how incredibly nice that some tvcy'ers made us thanksgiving diner a bit early in fayetville for our last night of the fall tour. what a good last night it was. crowd was great, band felt good. there was some rock bliss. of course we will be playing this sunday in seattle, but i do feel the sense of...
Read the rest of this entryso for the last week i have been making the best of it while trying to crawl out of the hole of having a nasty cold. inspired by the crowd, i get all stoked but i've felt fevers and sniffles, blah blah. when i play, i am always looking for something authentic and massive to take over me, hard to do when you're stuffed up. anyway, the short of it is, i felt this warmth come over me when...
Read the rest of this entryhello my assembly friends. i wrote a blog about the video shoot in austin and of course erased it. not discouraged, i shall write another for it was a tale worth telling indeed. our fabulous production company c3 found a implausibly kick-ass site for a bonfire on a point out near a lake on lake view. we had a huge bonfire built and then filmed people showing up for the burn. we had a...
Read the rest of this entrythere was something like 44 thousand people at the freakfest in madison on halloween and th view from the stage was a swirling sea of happy. what a retort to so many things these days beyond our control. we rolled into chicago for the day off and i spent it hapily alone. i walked along the promanade and looked at the big out outside--love that kind of thng. then i went to the art...

Read the rest of this entrylast night we played a little radio thingy in boston. it was an acoustic show and i decided to skip the usual set list and just let everyone call out songs. these raido things are ussually chores that we do to repay stations playing our songs, but this turned out to be a hoot. everyone was in costumes and i love costumes. i like rediculous cheerful behaviour. i liked not having a plan and...

Read the rest of this entryso let me tell you about last night in nashville. i started the day about 12:30 in the afternoon and shuffled over to the world famous blackbird studios and spent the day there recording "in the skin" and "now i don't know" for ursa minor. it was such a treat. we went back to recording everything on on tape for ursa minor and it's going to be so much better. it was abe's first...
