so yeah for my birthday, my mom gave me this keychain. i think it speaks for itself…

this video has been out for a couple of years now, but i just found out about it today. i’m late to the game on this one. but it’s incredible. check it out.

yes indeed today is my 36th birthday. old, old, old. God help me, i am old. and grey. and did i mention i’m old? anyway, thanks to everyone who has been sending their kind wishes. there’s a lot going on this next year. lots of recording, lots of travel, europe, asia, hopefully australia, my first trip to south america, maybe even antarctica. music and the road in the ocho. i’m also working on a collaboration album that i hope we can announce soon. very excited about that. the koopa record starts tracking in a few weeks. socratic record to be released soon, as well as our lunar activities. i know everyone is anxious for updates on +44, and i’ll keep you up to date on everything going on in +44 land. oh yeah and the they only want album from our friend chris holmes! he’s a dark character… disturbed. oh yes, and the ocho will see the return of the podcast very soon. you’ll even get some free tracks from bands. so subscribe and be in the know.

anyway, there you have a lot of empty promises for this year. but until then, happy birthday to me.

i haven’t seen this movie yet, but from the trailer i think it could be the best film ever made.

pickrset.com now has a feature on it where you can go back and review shows that you’ve been to. so if you went to any of the +44 shows on the last tour, you can post a review on the +44 pickrset site. one hint though, don’t post a review of the bumbershoot show, because we didn’t play that one. i also suggest that no matter what you thought of a show, in every review you post you should say that +44 “really brought the awesome” to it. thanks.
