Brand new at www.twink.net: Download and print your own paper piano model. So far there are 2 dozen to choose from. It's free and easy to fold together. There's even a blank one to design your own.

Thanks to Faith for this video of a bunny being forced to perform on a toy piano. I bet he'd much rather be outside playing ball with his friends.

I recently finished a remix for the San Francisco female punk trio Tinkture, a band I like a lot. You can hear the Twink mix of "Color Lacking Void" on their MySpace page. (I'm not sure how long it will be posted there.) Caution to younger and sensitive ears: some curse words in the vocals.

To celebrate the arrival of sunny days, every CD is priced to go. T-shirts and pins are also reduced. Don't forget about free shipping. If you've been thinking about stocking up on Twink music and gear, now is the time!

Not much to report lately, I've been pretty buried at the day job. (Day and night job, it actually seems.) To make up for my lack of toy piano-ing, please enjoy this excellent musician. I dare not think of what would happen if she shared a bill with this other excellent musician.

Songs and Sonics is a fun site by Jeff Boler of The Simple Carnival. It features tips and tricks for creative musicians, and interviews with unusual bands. Jeff interviewed me about Twink and the recent album. There are also never-before-heard audio clips from the making of the previous disc, Ice Cream Truckin'. Check it out here.

Kevin McDevitt of The Noise interviewed me about Twink for their summer issue. You can read it here if you are so inclined. From the intro:

"Twink is a celebration of all things shiny: a joyous parade of bunnies on cloud floats throwing candy in the sunshine. The accompanying artwork is perfectly apropos and beautifully arranged. It is one part "Candy Land", one part "Care Bears," one part "Good Night Moon," and one tiny part acid trip. It's up to you to decide if the combination of a toy piano led band and dreamy rainbow art work is a good or bad trip."

The new album by my toy piano band Twink is out. It's 10 fun tracks and an interactive cover that lets you choose your own adventure. Check out a couple of songs at the site. You can also get all the Twink albums now as MP3s (wicked cheap) at Cruxy.

Holy cow, my bunny skull logo is now a tattoo! Hardcore Twink fan or just a logo thief? :) You can get a shirt of it if you're not as brave. (Thanks to DJ extraordinaire Fred Yarm for the alert!)

In other news, the new Twink album is almost here. The website will get an update when it's released, check it out in about a week.
