Hey everyone,

I've got a new Christmas song "The Blizzard of '89" up on iTunes now for your downloading/listening pleasure! No better way to get yourself in the holiday spirit then by listening to Christmas songs all day. So grab a blanket, get a fire going and head over to iTunes to download now!

We've also got a feature on MTV's Buzzworthy.  Check out the column here. Make sure to send us some love!

Lastly, we've got a newly redesigned MySpace page. Keep checking back for studio updates and all the info on the new album set to drop this Spring!

hi hi hi.

while i’m out here in LA, i’ll be doing a blog on the glamour kills website. if you don’t know what glamour kills is, it’s a clothing company independently owned and operated by flying pigs. i was surprised too.

anyway, that’s the easiest way to follow what’s up.

i put up a new song called "melody's song"
it's about music and it's effect on me.
as is probably the case with many people, music helped me a lot growing up [and continues to do so]. there are certain songs that if i listen to now will take me back to a certain time in my life. some songs remind me of a season, a year, or a week. it's kinda crazy.

i used to spend hours in my room listening to CD's on a little stereo i had, doing nothing else.
contentment. i dug really deep into lyrics and the way they worked with melodies, always trying to associate the words to myself in some way or another.

i feel really lucky to get to call this obsession my life and "job".

music is the one thing that i've always been comfortable with, and i like to think it's always going to be that way.

the world would be a sad place without music.

enjoy.

assuming i know that people around are moving to downtown
they're learning to get down
and let me say here, i'm glad that they lost their fears
i'm glad that they cut their tears, 'cause i'm over that
change can run around your head, kill your thoughts instead
leaving you spinning around and all out of control
and lately it's amazing, i'm not letting it phase me
but i'm feeling alive tonight
will you let me shine?

you spelled my name, when i was young, i need you right there
and you ran so fast
you stayed the same, oh melody, i hope that you care

girls on the west coast, sing it like you used to
boys on the east coast, scream with some heart

six years, and i'm learning about the darker side
i'm getting a feel for the faster life, i took sides
long nights and the drives we made through
oh what i did for you, well it took some time
can i live my dream?

and i'll never see the world without you
and i'm all about how it's gonna be [i can't complain]
you opened up the world around me
i couldn't have made it through, i'm counting all my debts in my head
and i'll always be radio

i'll write a song to remember where i came from
just give me that sound, i'll be fine

hey guys, i just posted a new song called "stays four the same". i wrote it during a time when i was very afraid of change/transition/progression, so that's kinda what it's about. i hope you like it; it means a lot to me:]

if you want it for your ipod/cd player, you can pick it up on itunes today!

it's also on a tour EP i'm selling this summer, so you can get a physical copy as well.

love,
jordan
