Oops! Apparently our account got hacked or phished or whatever the kids are calling it these days. So sorry for all the weird messages you may or may not have received about our "cool new ringtones."

What's funny is, Vince has become obsessed with one of the ringtones on his iPhone, even making up contemporary-Christian lyrics and choreography to it (and even weirder, it's quite good), so when someone told me they were getting messages from us about ringtones, I had a split-second thought that Vince had uploaded his awesome song, "Follow His Way," to MySpace. I wish he would.

I am not sure why, but our regular blog is technologically freaked out and cannot be updated for love nor money. Thus, we are being forced to use MySpace to communicate, which we are frankly too old to do.

The holidays draw near, and with them the prospect of new DMs songs being written and rocked, as 3/4 of us will be together when 2007 rings in. We're absolutely going to record sometime in the spring or summer, even if we have to do it in a makeshift bathroom studio. I smugly listen to the rough recordings we made several months ago, playing a few of the songs over and over, congrtulating myself on putting into song some emotions I have long held in check.

There is no greater revenge than a song, that is the truth.

It looks like we'll be hanging around here on the MySpace tip for at least a little while. Please "friend" us, or whatever the kids are calling it.

In 2000, Vince Chao and Allison Lowe sat around in Arlington, TX writing songs between working their real-world jobs and playing with other bands. They kept it up even after two moves -- Al to Atlanta and Vince to Monroe, LA. When it came time to put some of these songs down on tape, Chris was forced through the legal obligations of marriage to play drums.

Jesse made the tragic misstep of dropping by the Chaos' house one night on a visit home to Monroe from his Hollywood lifestyle in Los Angeles, and we shoved a guitar in his hands, demanded that he play it, and harassed him into becoming a Damn Millionaire. That changed everything. The songs went from being "cool" to "INCREDIBLY AWESOME."

We hope you enjoy Be Sure Your Sins Will Find You Out. The songs, personal to the last, weave together a crazy quilt of country, rock and folk music to tell the story of what it means to be a Southern American, alternately traveling toward and away from your home base.
