Hey friends,

It's suddenly April... cold as hell in Chicago... but April, nonetheless!
This blog will touch on (not in this order):
  -- New Layout
  -- The podcast from the Fearless Radio interview last week... in which we talked about Music, iPods, Michael Phelps, and Taylor Swift (among other things.)
  -- Other ramblings I remember to mention.

NEW LAYOUT -- hopefully you noticed (because you're SO observant) the brand new layout on the page.  I had the old simple black one up for about a year believe it or not, and it had become WAY to jumbled and messy.  I  wanted a new one for a long time but I have ZERO (0) technological skills.  Some friends of mine, however, DO have skilllls and are fabulous people and happy to help out.  One such friend and local Chicago songwriter, Derek Nelson (who is a graphics/designer partner at Clique Studios ), came to the rescue and created that very spring/summer look that I find quite refreshing and not quite as depressing as the old noir layout.  Check out that link above and use his sweet services.
   Anyhow, let me know what you think and post your own bulletin all about it.

PODCAST MANIA--
   Ok, so remember how I'm tech-tarded?  Because of this chronic condition I still haven't put up a blog from the WGN interview and session last month.  However, you can find some of the interview on the YouTube channel, here. Check out some of the live videos there while you're at it! 

  The Innocent did hang out and play a new song at a recent FEARLESS RADIO interview!  In fact, that podcast is RIGHT HERE.  If you don't know Fearless Radio, you should. It's a popular internet radio station that's operated right here in the Windy City.  Tons of great bands roll through during tours, and best of all?  Internet radio means no rules--screw the FCC!  Check out the "Podcast" tab for a whole bunch more interviews that you'll definitely want to listen to!

RANDON NOTES--
   Be on the lookout for some new recordings soon. You will like them.  Also, check the "upcoming shows" often in the next couple weeks for a bunch more show listings... summer should be super-fun.
Please stop by these pages for some very cool stuff -- especially the Facebook page, which includes cool videos, pictures, and constant updates!

---  The Innocent ONLINE MERCH STORE (really cool rare stuff that you can only get at shows and on this site... and the high-quality goods won't hurt your wallet. (shipping is free, too! omg!)

---TWITTER!    The Innocent is now on Twitter and needs friends (and an instruction manual, really.)

Ok, that was a long post.   If you live in Chicago you should come to Cubby Bear this saturday in wrigleyville - it's going to be a GREAT time.  See you.

xoxo,
