Sorry for the lack of emails lately. Still picking up the peices of my life on top of trying to build a digital store for insound thats 13 days late already.
Have you ever thought your ipod knows you better than you know yourself?
All you hip kids prolly already know this, but just in case you don’t this is Ben Gibbards solo project from back in the day, like school style ‘n shit. You know how he rolls. Anyway, sorry if you already have this shit, I’ve just been listening to it a lot lately and wanted to share.

I found myself with an insatiable urge to write yesterday. I noticed prior to this that these little shared ‘journals’ have started to become an addiction for me, however as of late I’ve found myself with a lack of courage to write anything, hence the lack of emails the past few days. Driven by this urge again I started writing and thoughts came pouring out, more than I could handle. I just let myself binge and kept writing. I wrote several different versions of this email, some tinged with personal accounts of the events that have been affecting my mood and contributing to my lack of confidence lately, some feeble attempts at witty analogies on life and music, some completely revealing and cruel confessions of my inner thoughts spilled out in a sloppy mess. I saved them all. I am now left with a comforting feeling, knowing that I could send any one of them at anytime, but never will. I don’t why, but the idea makes everything more bearable and makes the whole process worth it. And yet here I am sending another email about absolutely nothing.
I knew nothing about this band when we got the promo. I was a bit hesitant to check it out because there was one of those stupid quote stickers on the promo with a quote from ampcamp on there. But I heard it and loved it. The vocals remind me a bit of Natural Milk Hotel except nastier, which is a good thing IMHO, those fucking screams are brilliant. Apparently their live show is suppose to be insane as well. A quote on last.fm tells of a show where the drummer stood up and somersaulted into his drum set as the audience rushed the stage and the guitarist swinging his guitar in the air wildly.

Most of you prolly hate this band. Some of you are closet fans, and some love it. Whatever the case, please write something if you have time.

So its 2:00 AM, drinking started for me at around 4:00 PM, and I’m fucking wasted by now. I know that I am way more wasted than I want to be at this point not because the room is spinning, not because of my double vision, not because there is a rush of saliva in my mouth signaling to onset of a night hugging the toilet. I know this because I’m looking down at myself and realizing that I am wearing a dress. Yes, a fucking prom dress. I’m not exactly sure how this happened, but I think it had something to do with running out of cigarettes. I could have taken it off at this point, but I slept in that dress. Say what you want, but I was also sleeping with two chicks at the same time in that dress. Sounds hot, right? Can’t you just picture it, me in a purple prom dress and black argile socks sandwiched between two amazingly hot bitches. So does that sound gay to you? Maybe. Do I really care? Not really.
Recent additions to the French Kiss records roster of artists, long time veterans of the NYC music scene, and all around great guys/girl. These tracks are from their debut LP on French Kiss which came out in Sept.

Sorry for calling the girls bitches, I just thought I needed to throw in a little extra toughness after telling you guys I feel asleep in a dress, ya know? And, I didnt reeeaaally sleep with them………well maybe I did. Let’s leave that between me and the hot bitches.
