hey all,

i thought i'd start using these blogs more to help let people know what's going on with the jonathan cour enterprise.    

my guitarist grant and i are currently in the studio working on some new material i've been writing. the recordings are gonna  be more stripped down acoustic versions of the songs. we are recording them how i write them; very little production and acoustic. we posted the first track we recorded this way on myspace last week. it's called 'ordinary people'. i wrote OP with a good friend of mine out california earlier this summer. we wrote it while sitting inside his van on the side of the Pacific Coast Highway near Malibu. we would love to know what you all think about it... leave some messages or comments and throw some feedback our way.

grant and i also just got back from playing a great show in Los Angeles last weekend at the Hotel Cafe. thanks to everyone who made it out to the show. it was a great introduction for us to the left coast. a funny thing happened on the flight out to Cali........ GRANT SHIT HIS PANTS!!! no joke...he had a tummy ache all morning and well, he left st. louis with underwear on and arrived in L. A. with none. the story of stripping down in a very small airplane bathroom is quite hilarious when he tells it. it's ok to  talk about this, because grant doesn't get embarrassed  by anything.   

we posted some pics below from the trip to LA...enjoy! 
                 
anyway, that's enough rambling for now... until the  next time someone shits their pants.

keep it easy,
