We're featured on the "You Can't Spell 'Acerbic' Without Eric" podcast!  It's one of the best places to find new independent music and commentary, wit, and the multi-talented Eric Summer.  Here's the link:

Hey Everyone,

Just wanted to give you an update. We're working quite diligently slow on our record "So you've decided to be . . ." Our mouths are watering, our stomachs are turning and we just want to just knock over the grill master with a lawn chair and say "We don't care if we get salmonella poisoning!  Just give us that damn CD!". Yes you've heard it all before, if this was our full time job, we'd be making records daily. Maybe even twice daily. Hang in there. We luv ya!

Current mood:Thinking about food


Dear [full name] of the Underwater City,

You know when you're at a barbeque and you can smell that the food is almost ready and you're mouth is watering, your stomach is turning and you want to just knock over the grill master with a lawn chair and say "I don't care if I get salmonella poisoning!  Just give me that damn CD!".  And then you're like "Why did I say CD?" and realize you are in a recording studio and everyone thinks you need to step outside and talk.  Well that's where we're at with the record.  Mixing now.  Mastering, and manufacturing is next.  But it just occurred to us, there's no guy in a tie and the cd maker people don't take sand dollars.  And, despite the fact there's a lot of clams and square pants in the Underwater City, we don't have any US government approved legal love me tender.  So . . . we are once again pan handling our way to the top. "Can you help out fellow Americans who are down on their luck?"  We need to get ourselves some sweet Sugar Daddies and Hot Cougar Mamas?  Yeah, you know what I'm talking about, a good old timey barn raising.

Current mood:Cathartical
Dear Underwaterers,

So you think June Gloom is a major league gyp off?  This wasn't in the brochure?  Well to make things worse, today is hump day, which actually doesn't sound like a bad thing, but it means there's still two more days of work before Mr. and Mrs. Weekend are here to drive you around in a clown car.  Because of these overwhelming circumstances, today may be the most difficult day of your life.  In fact, I bet everybody's horoscope says "Today may be the most difficult day of your life, but tonight you should find something fun to do".  Therefore, we're having an Emergency Rock Show tonight!  If you like summer and if you like girls, and particularly girls that ROCK, then tonight will be cathartic (see definition below).  I will not be wearing drag, cuz that would only evoke the response "oh that poor, poor woman, somebody should help her", but I will be trying to get in touch with my feminine side.


Here's the info:

Dear people persons,


Here's what I'm thinking . . . what we do involves numbers, but not knowing that makes things a whole lot easier.  For it is in the forgetting of numbers that one brings the unencumbered relevance of interactive symbolism upon the concepts deduced from the placated assumptions of post modern nomenclature. These studies often find more questions than peanut butter.  More banks than salad dressing and more copper tubing than the 1957 World Series of Drain Snaking.  Many people come to me and they say "Hey, what kind of band is it you want to see?".  I tell them, I just want to see a band that knows the importance of singing songs about driving cars on two wheels and one that will inspire me to not get a job.  A band that can have me hypnotized before they take me home, but when we get there they say "where do you think you're going?".  One that will peel me a grape and then play a song on banjo.  Are these unreasonable requests?  We think not.  But then again, we must always run it through our final scientific evaluation . . . What would Jimi do?  



Jimi would rock.  Here's the info:

Dear Santa,



Look . . . about last year. First you set off the silent alarm system, then you stepped on the cat's tail, spilled milk on my autographed copy of Cheap Trick Live at Budokan and somehow got cookie crumbs in the DVD player. All that could have been forgiven if you hadn't given me another variety cheese pack and a pair of Sponge Bob Square Socks. Most uncomfortable. This year just wire money. I'll use it on groceries or maybe I'll trample a Wal-Mart employee to death and then just keep shopping. That's the spirit.

Dear Congress,

Bail out the music business. I think we'll only need a couple hundred billion. We'll split it amongst ourselves. No oversight needed.
We'll make a football out of it and go for a long bomb, cause mama said Kibitz you out. I'll buy up some judges around town, get myself selected as viceroy. Then I'll make you smell the glove, stonehenge style, cause I go to eleven and just want to make some eardrums bleed.

Current mood:Cabin Fever


Dear Summer,



I just want to have fun. Maybe go tubing. Maybe see how the other third lives. I want a new drug. One that does what it should. I want to drive my car on two wheels while it's still legal. I want my MTV to play videos again. I want to chew tobacco and spit on cars from the overpass. I want everyone to just get along. I want a lot of money. I want to feed the giraffes at a wild animal park. I want to give Julie a hickey.



Come tonight and see our good friends the Shortcuts from Minneapolis!!!
