Shorthand E.P. is alive and well and living in itunes

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

Our E.P. is out there right now and watching everything you do. It has videos and a few different ways in which you can own it. Which is odd I suppose so let me explain.

1. Are you a picky person? or busy? or dying? If so, just buy one song. Any song. It doesn’t matter. Choose the title that sounds best and save the rest of your change for gum and shoe laces and bags of rubberbands.

2. Are you a compulsive? A completist? My parents? If so, buy the whole album. And as an added bonus you’ll have your hands full with videos for every single song on the album. Kind of like the toy at the bottom of the cereal box. Only less functional. The videos are brand-new-never-been-seen-before.

P.S. all of these videos were filmed by a director/producer duo known as Hott Garbage. They are a fine set of young gentlemen who put up with an unending weekend of farm animals, abandoned opera houses questionable behavior in quiet suburbs and cold lasagna mixed with milk and spinach and salt. So if you’re looking at them right now, please extend a pat on the back for us. Because we’re currently not on speaking terms.

Oh. And a new album is being made.

And there are a few performances lined up with Cloud Cult.

And our Daytrotter session has been posted! For those of you wondering, Jon’s teeth are exactly like that in real life. There are three of them and they are all circular.

As for Austin, we had swans living in our hotel. It was disgusting.
