update with a grain of salt.

Justin, Scott, and I have formed a new band. We're called The Blind Man Birthday Dance. I've written most of our first song already, which will be a part of our debut album, "Inside Sun Mountain, pt. 3," which goes into production when the rest of the songs are done. Which will probably be never because I usually have problems taking ideas all the way to fruition. But if it does get finished, it will probably be the best thing that has ever been created. I'm thinking hardcore Commerce punk. The concept of hte band is that we're a bunch of awesome Japanese noise rockers living in Japan who grew up listening to The Beach Boys and their ilk, so that's the only English we know. The songs are going to be all about happiness and sunbeams and stuff, but since we're also noise punks, we feel compelled to scream everything in broken English. Like take a plate of English that's been glazed with the sunniest lyrics and drop that sucker and you'll get what we're doing. I'm pretty excited about it because...well, it's a ridiculous concept and I'm all about ridiculous concepts. So. If you're interested in hearing something by THE BLIND MAN BIRTHDAY DANCE, let me know and maybe you actually will. Someday. Here's a lyrical sample from the first song, "Lemon Yellow Sun-Song"

Toss me some towel, toss some dogs on the barbecue
toss me some frisbee and a song or two
do remember you the times we had and the fun we made
in the shade of beach umbrella?

everybody sing the song
the song of yellow lemon sun song
the only song that sings to you!

Man...it gives me the chills it's so good. I wish you good luck and sunshine.
