Tim Kinsella(Joan of Arc, former member of various Chicago post punk and emo bands)'s Article in the latest issue of Alternative Press, concerning the August issue of AP and my reply:
Beirut. The Patriot Act. Palestine. Africa. Wal-Mart. Clear Channel. Peak oil. Global devastation. The backward talk of those in power that dominates and suffocates our cultural discourse. Overpopulation. The dawning of neo-feudalist Theocracy in America. It's a busy, interesting place we've got here. Lots of information aimed at us. The hidden hand of power.

Hey, we just got word that they are playing our song "Wow, I Can Get Sexual Too" a bit on KROQ in L.A...It's not only one of the biggest, most influential modern rock stations on the country, but it's also the station i used to listen to as a kid in my hometown of West Hollywood (boys town).

We will be posting "Baby Girl I'm A Blur" Up on Our Myspace at Midnight Tonight from "In Defense Of The Genre"!! Please check it out and let us what you think!

Don't Forget Next Tuesday October 23rd. "In Defense Of The Genre" will be out in stores!!!

hi everyone.

I was casually visiting absolutepunk.net and i went to a thread about say anything, namely about the song titles for our next record. i do this once and a while but less than you'd think; i am just weary of "nay nay".

for your information, "nay nay" is a say anything inner-band term we use for senseless b.s with very little foundation that assumes itself to be the end all be all truth (i.e when you're at a party and someone says jay z is there and everyone starts to say that he's 100% there or coming and by the end it just turns out it was a rumor.) nay nay can also apply to the crap puked up by people who think that they need to force their opinion on others. there's a lot of nay nay in the world so, like i said, i try to avoid say anything threads so i don't get butt-hurt; i am a sensitive dude (which many posters forget some creative people are and proceed to bash them or make rude comments about the loves of their lives JUST SAYIN'). i am always worried that if i start reading i won't be able to stop and i'll end up a self loathing bulimic who just sits in front of the computer whipping myself with a belt and weeping, shamelessly addicted to the endless train of nay nay.

anyway, i went regardless. i was THRILLED to find that you guys are still super nice about our band. with a lot of bands that stick around and do reasonably well, you tend to get a lot more "overrated" or "i liked them when he was fatter" type posts but generally you guys are still totally rad.....

i love you all. those who said they were stoked, even those who said they liked our first record more, or only like the second disc of our second record; hey, you're allowed! we partially made this new record to win you fickle sons of guns back. plus If you're one of the many people I saw who have consistently liked ALL our output, i still think this will be your favorite say anything record.

i just have to again flat out thank all the fans of our band for the amazing experience you keep creating for us. i will never underplay how much i owe you guys and i promise we'll have new music up for you to hear as soon as we're allowed. I can 100 percent guarantee the new record exists... so don't worry!

Until then, since you guys are being so patient, I thought I'd finally shut the heck up and play a real old say anything song for you guys. i haven't played this or any old say anything song since i was in high school and you guys are always bugging me to do it, so here you go. I hope you like it, and again....THANK YOU.

More updates to come.

Make sure to put your headphones in (the audio is really quiet)...

I’m so so nervous and excited because we’ve got two weeks to go til album release...It seems like everything is hitting me at once, with the song getting on the radio an amazing tour starting off, and the humbling, awesome reactions we’ve been getting from you guys about the new songs. It’s hard to sum up how this all feels but I’ve never been so gracious for where I am in life and the future is a pretty exciting time for someone with such a dark, neurotic mind. Hehe. ANYWAY...
