So I've had an eventful week, and am still relishing in the good

times--just got back from Omaha where I saw Modest Mouse

with Mason Jennings and Mount Egypt. The show was great,

but the real highlight was playing baseball before the show with

some of the guys in the bands (Omaha Hackers-11 to

Right Leg Longers-7). For all of you that know me, I'm not deluded

here, we really did win!

Everyone I met was great, and it was nice to find that some of the

musicians I dig are gracious people. Also, a couple of days ago I played

an opening dj set for a band from Chicago called Futurerock, who were

also very cool, had kinda a Tortoise vibe, and they played a couple of

brilliant covers of AFX and BOC. Oh, and just about a week till my move

to Austin, and I might change my "band-name" from electric blanket since I found two others out there, one defunkt. I want my own damn name!

So I've been keeping busy so far this year, working on the

Optic Echo site, putting the finishing touches on my album to come

currently entitled bye-gones, which is in many ways an excuse to draw

a line in the sand and clear out my old songs in one fell swoop.

Check here for a bonus album by my long-time friend

Mike Koelling entitled down, and here to listen to a few

electric blanket songs left off bye-gones, both downloadable free

for your personal listening pleasure.
