o my good glory. . . i just heard the coolest thing. and it wasn't that garrison keillor was doing a split ep about minnesota with sufjan stevens (although that may or may not be true). no, this is something entirely unrelated to public radio. it was a song that we finished recording last night in the dank basement studio of jeremiah aka patchwork. i will hopefully have a rough mix up later this week. the song is called "the leaves are falling and so am i" and it combines the best of all possible sounds--noise, strings, a choir, a catchy chorus. it's all very exciting. the record is almost finished now and will most likely be "released" in 2007. we have one date left this fall--saturday, september 30th in west bend at pillllars cafe. it's a great venue, all ages, smoke-free. we're playing with juniper tar again, so everybody should just come and watch.
