I Used My Ears

This ain't your grandma's best-of list...I used random words to talk about my five favorite records of 2008. But words are cheap, so use your ears, too...


Atlas Sound, Let The Blind Lead Those Who Can See But Cannot Feel
a dog drinking water in slow motion
sunlight with your eyes dilated
oversleeping on the last day of school
The Grand Canyon


Kaki King, Dreaming Of Revenge
Nyquil in the afternoon
a really good Tampon commercial
the winter is colder than you remember
your car breaking down in Odessa, TX


Girl Talk, Feed The Animals
riding in the backseat
NSFW
all the answers on the test are no longer still "C"
a pineapple strawberry Sprite


Chairlift, Does You Inspire You
cheap haunted house in the suburbs
staying up all night only to get a bowl of Raisin Bran
playground romance (and divorce)
Thanksgiving at the lake


Hot Chip, Made In The Dark
the best casserole ever
R. Kelly
that beard won't make you any happier
edible cologne


And before you're all "Pineapple Strawberry Sprite?!", let me explain something...

One day at Sonic, I ordered a "Small Sonic Sunrise" and instead that's what I got...so don't give me any grief.

We're Going Into the Cave for Awhile

We are taking a break from playing to finish this record. I think we are about 1/4 finished tracking. We are tired of multitasking. Last night was our last show for a while, maybe if we end up with pictures we will post them.

Natalie interviewed us for Oklahomarock.com a while back. The story is now up here. My favorite part is when Derek says,

"It’s not like we’re brother and sister. With your brother or sister, you could just punch them in the face..."
