Thank you and goodnight.

you know there's five universities in San Diego (two CSUs, a UC and two private universities) as well as a small (but accredited) Christian College (San Diego Christian College).

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.

hmm...interesting...

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.

Hey everybody

go to this site:
www.thechristmasfriends.com and download free Christmas music from real people. There is a YFB track on this album, as well as songs from lots of our friends...seriously. I will also be posting the YFB Christmas song on our myspace in the next ten minutes.

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?
