Hello/greetings. First, apologies for my recent elusive behavior - I've been submerged in the Recordio since the tour w/ sOuth... Well, mainly been working on remixes - new songs and stuff too. I did a remix for Brazilian Girls' "Good Time" as well as Computer Vs. Banjo's "Give Up On Ghosts" and now immersed in remixing Ladytron's new single "Runaway"!! Also, did a mix a while back for Butchers Of Sky Valley "Drop Cock and Roll" which is getting a vinyl release (werd...). Other release info to come. Next remix in the pipe is for my Portland b.f.a.m. (brutha from anutha mutha), Luke Reynolds' new band Pictures And Sound, "100 Directions" - check it... he got it goin on.
What else, what else... I got a new iPhone! Waited in line and all that - WEEEELLL worth it - getting good at typing on it. I dropped it on the pavement the first night i had it (few scratches, but ok)... it's a tool tho, right? Been taking some pics w/ it too:
I watch the news (depressing) and learn things about the world - forming opinions on various issues and such - i like Obama, NPR science and environmental podcasts (All Songs Considered too), organic food, and me and Anne drink lot's of Kombucha tea these days. I wanna get a moped - Ash has one... he's so cool (i wanted one before he got his tho, so it's NOT just because he has one and i wanna be just like him or anything like that...).
Been hangin @ the river w/ the dog a lot too:
We are trying for some tours this fall - fingers crossed - they'd be unprecedented... Also looking for a NYC show this summer/fall - perhaps CMJ. Doing some east coast one-offs in the mean time.
Got some tracks coming up in a few indie films - "Get In The Van", a surf film that was previewed @ Bonnaroo this year (met directors and surfers - super cool peeps). Also, "Under The Influence", a snowboarding/skiing movie - the trailer looks awesome.
Anyways, that's me for now.
Keep it easy and breezy - stretch the summer days and nights...
C U.
