The difference in my guitar's sound is so wickedly improved that I no longer feel the need to buy a new amp or pedals or even strings...EVER!
So, it's my belief that tone is in the soap.
Thank you and goodnight. | |

| Sweetness! I especially like "Job".
Funny though, it looks like Ryan's holding a toy guitar, not a Duo-sonic.

Stalker reminds me of Bleach-era Nirvana.

let me know if you hear any other influences...odds are they're songs I've never heard...but it'd be interesting to hear about nonetheless. |

| Speaking of bleach-era Nirvana. I can definitely also hear The Pixies in there. |

#194 | | Algebraic! | I don't know if it's a winter thing or whatever...but for the second consecutive winter I've been really slow at booking shows for the year.
It looks like our first show of 2008 might be April 1st. We might be playing for Ryan's brother's birthday party next week...but that hardly counts...especially since Ryan's neighbors are apparently really testy so we're half expecting to get shut down. |

| Hm...that's kind of odd.
So then, you're usually pretty active in the summer?
