   I've been here a month and I'm about to leave for little old blighty; it's been such a blast I can not even put it into words. This album is going to blow your minds. It's a beautiful, deranged, animal of a record. I can't wait for you all to hear it! It's got horns, violins, howling, mellophones, the Langley sisters, barks, whistles, hell I even sung down by a creek in the middle of the night.

    Ok I'm off to laugh into a canyon.

    Sorry I'm on shrooms.

Hey everybody, I'm pleased to announce that May 5th marks the release of my new EP, Russian Roulette. The EP consists of 6 brand new songs, and it will be my first new material in 3 years! We have set up a pre-order for the EP online here: http://www.districtlines.com/12871-Russian-Roulette-EP-Music/ The EP will come in the form of a 512 MB USB thumb drive shaped like a bullet! Along with the music, the drive will feature music videos that I personally made for each of the songs, photos, the album artwork, and other bonus material. WIDGET & NEW MUSIC VIDEO! Please see below for a widget with more info on the release, as well as an exclusive sneak peak of one of the videos I made for the track "Caterpillar"! Please help promote by embedding the widget on your page.  



GIVEAWAY! That's right folks, it gets even better... all USB pre-orders will be automatically entered to win a limited edition silk-screened toy piano!

     Hello,

      I am pleased to announce the publication of Brian McGilloway's new book, Bleed A River Deep; he's an acclaimed crime novelist from Derry, Northern Ireland who very sweetly asked my permission to name his book after one of my songs. It's coming out soon so I would advise to investigate.
      I'll be streaming the Russian Roulette EP as soon as I can, hope to see some of you at the forthcoming gigs - any requests let me know.

Hi there myspace users.

That includes me, can't get enough of this cyber-friendship shenanigan stuff. Wooh!
Are you really interested in hearing about what I have to say about my life? Am I in Fall Out Boy? Ooh I bet you think this song is written about you..etc etc.. I had a dream I was playing bass behind a curtain because the bass player couldn't play. Just a dream. Then a giant gopher chased me round my house. I hope it means fuck all. I'm listening to Erik Satie on a loop...seems to never get boring, I love it, I feed off it's peace. Here's some interesting facts about the genius that is Erik:

'In his one-room apartment Satie had two pianos. One placed on top of the other, their pedals interconnected.

His room must have been pretty crowded, for it also contained his collection of over 100 umbrellas !

Satie once bought 12 grey velvet suits at the same time. He used one suit at a time until it was worn out, then he put on a new one.
When he died, there were 6 suits left in his room, along with his 100 umbrellas.

His 180 notes long composition Vexations, directed to be repeated 840 times, was recorded in 1963 in New York. It took a relay team of 10 pianists over eighteen hours to perform. The longest piece ever written.'

Wow! Crazy guy, wish I'd had the pleasure..anyway enough about him. I'm a sincere person and I like to talk/blog about myself all the time! Can you see how honest I am. My teeth are literally gritting with trueisms!
I'm not even drunk I'm such a matter-of-fact guy. I like fine wines, good company and no laughing please!...cutting my own hair! I'm also very good at badminton and other various racket sports, backgammon and impersonating woodland animals. I love people so much, living in London always restores my lust for humanity.
Anyway, sorry for the rambling, but i just can't help it! Once I get behind the old techno-screen, i just can't resist but blog! Woohooh!
