OK, a while back, we mentioned that we had some good news for you.  Seems around that time, all we had was bad news.  But then we said we had some good stuff for you, but we couldn't tell you for fear of jinxing it.  Thing is…. when you deal in the industry long enough, you learn that the things you think you have, you really don't and think they'll say they'll do, they really won't. 
Anyway, the powers that be feel good about the situation, and so without further ado.... We have some good news for you.  The song "Blacklight" from our last album, 20th Century Accidents, has made it into a major motion picture.  That's right, Macon Greyson is now a permanent part of pop culture.  The movie is called "The Wrestler" and stars Mickey Rourke and Marisa Tomei.  Pretty cool….
We don't know what scene the song plays in, or any of the details.  When we get to see the movie, you'll be the first ones we tell.  For anyone who may have seen the movie, let us know if you happened to hear it and what the details are.  We heard there have been some screenings around.  Also… for anyone who lives in Dallas and hears four idiots screaming like little girls when "Blacklight" plays during the movie, we're probably somewhere in the theater.  We'll just say sorry now, OK?
 
UPDATE (Jan 15, 2009).................
 

The movie “The Wrestler” came out last week here in Dallas, and we finally got to see it.  First things first, the movie is really great.  We aren’t saying this because our song is in it, it is flat-out a great movie.  As we mentioned last week, Darren Aronofsky is very talented and his portrayal of the story is genius.  Rourke got himself a Golden Globe for his performance and Springsteen won a Globe for his title track in the movie.  Both are very deserving of the honor. 

 

As for our little role in the movie, our song plays on the jukebox during the scene where Rourke and Tomei are in a corner bar talking and having a beer.  We didn’t get any Globe nominations, but we believe that our song definitely contributed in a positive way to that particular scene…… or something like that.
