no in german.

shane laid down all of his leads last night. talk about a transformation. the kid is an animal... but his riffs have, like the band's music, just matured so much. it seems like yesterday we were in my sophomore dorm room writing "three step drop" thinking music couldn't get any better than that...

anyway. this album is really coming together. the only stuff we have left are sham's key parts and the vocals. jon sage, a fantastic engineer and microphone master, has been doing a PHENOMENAL job producing and engineering these sessions. here is a track listing for those of you keeping score.

keep in mind, the order and titles of the tracks are still tentative:

1. love & music
2. graffiti
3. man can't fly
4. neighbor's wife
5. vinyl sound (mr. recordman)

hopefully you guys recognize a few of these... and hopefully some of them are brand new to you. most of all, we hope you like them once they're released.

one love,
andrew

in the headphones:
after the rain - little dragon

this is a sick track. the female vocalist reminds me of M.I.A. with a little Feist in her. she's a chameleon, though... there are a few tracks where she brings the soul, the funk, and everything in between. the little middle eastern flourishes in her voice kick ass and the backing beat is driving, but dynamic. things are flying everywhere, but it never seems gimmicky. you could dance to this at a party, or kick it at the library with it in the headphones. check their debut self-titled album.
