goner, hozac, in the red, infinity cat made the list, among others you may recognize.

label people, brace yourself for an even huger flow of emails from shitty bands looking to get 'signed'...

I consider it an honor and a blessing to be left off that list.  My condolences to Larry, Eric and Zac. Please enjoy the hours of demos headed your way, my ramshackled friends.

Larry, you wanna listen to my tape-deck experimentation?  I used a channel of audio that was overloaded and made it spry.  Ramshackle punk like the Oh Sees is the result.

My band played with the Oh Sees I think you'll like us.  We played good.  Well, we didn't play with the Oh Sees we played with John Dwyer.  It was a bus stop show.  He was playing the seat and we were backing him up and it was fucking great.  Listen to this!  Here's a photo of us.  We all posed for it.
