…was interesting for two main reasons:

1. We spent most of the time working on our “birthday gift” cover song for Chris OD (from Wound, see getallwoundup.net). You see, every year, we play at Chris’ birthday party at T.C.’s Speakeasy in Ypsi. This year I think it will be August 23rd (if I’m wrong I’ll clarify later), and all are welcome. I won’t tell what song the “birthday gift” is, but I can tell you it wasn’t easy to learn… but we *love* playing it… Come out to the show and see it…
2. For the first time since I’ve been playing in bands — and that is *alot* of years — we were shut down by an angry neighbor. And the guy is like my age. And I’ve jammed in neighborhoods of senior citizens. So who is too loud, and who is too old? I’m not sure anymore…

Toodles for now…

In the software industry, when they are about to release the new version of the software, and they make test-pressings of the disks, they call it a “Gold Master”.

I’m holding in my hands, the “Gold Master” of the new Paperbag album, “Papercuts”.

Last night, Scott, Jamie and I got together and put the final cut master together, and now we are just listening to it for digital imperfections before sending it off to the mass-producers….

So, barring any problems, (and I don’t forsee any), the official “release” of the new album should be just a couple weeks away!!! Can you even believe it?!?!?!

Thanks to the guys in Euphoric Haze, and the guys in Wound, for having us all together on one bill at the Token Lounge, last Friday night (May 30th, 2008)…

We had a great time, drank a bunch, and oh yeah… played some rawk musik…..

We’ll try to keep you posted about future appearances.. right here at the ol’ paperblog…

Well, folks, this is it. The brand-spanking-new news section. The new news is that no new news has happened other than that the new news section is new.
