lots of love

I wasn't going to update but I decided to do it anyway. Don't expect too much.

Let me tell you about scams, particularly Dole Fruit Bowl scams. A week ago at the grocery store I bought two packages of Dole Pineapple Fruit-Bowls. When I got my receipt it had conveniently printed out a coupon for my next visit. It promised .75 off my next purchase of three packages. Yesterday I used the coupon and bought 3 packages. This time the register spit out a coupon for $1.00 off my next purchase of FOUR packs. This cash register had been given the intelligence to always try to entice me to buy just one more on my next visit.

Rebekah and I were looking at old photo albums last night. I found this picture of me when I was about sixteen years old and I was wearing a shirt that I still wear regularly to work today. That's incredibly disturbing. It makes me want to set fire to my closet and start anew.

I finally got my Mates of State DVD as well as their new EP. The DVD was kind of cobbled together. The Mates have good tunes but their personalities are somewhat grating. It's kind of ruined for me. They are self-proclaimed a-holes which is a turn-off. But the new EP was pretty nice. The title track Goods (All In Your Head) is splendid.

You can download a free 6a2 song at Nuclear Gopher Records. It's from our soon to be released album 6a2:SixAfterTwo. I've been hard at it with the album art and also finishing up the tracks. The album art is better than I expected. It involves the use of transparencies which is something I've wanted to do for years but never had an application for it. I've finally found one.

It's kind of jumping the gun but I've also been conceptualizing the new Something Felt web-site. I finally registered the domain name after sitting on the band name for a decade. Fortunately through some stroke of fortune it was still available. The style will be very "cute" and "warm" which coming off of 6a2 will be a welcomed change. The idea for the album art for that album is also being conceptualized. And also are stage costumes. And shooting way ahead I've even named the next album.

I don't have anything else but lots of love.
