Our song ‘antique limb’ is in the running for the jjj hottest 100. i’m not sure what happens if it makes it in, maybe we win a fancy car or something.

So you can go vote for it here, if you’re one of those people who votes for things.

Also, we made an EP that you can get on iTunes right here. Kinda forgot to tell anyone about this, y’know how it is.

It features our song ‘destroy the universe with jazz hands’ from the midnight believer album, plus a remix by our pal slo-mo speedboat, an 8-bit re-imagining of ‘antique limb’ by neutro & lone zero and a cover we did of leonard cohen’s ‘don’t go home with your hard on’.

As of now, the banjo isn’t part of the ramps set up anymore. It’s been replaced by a homemade gaffa-tape-beast of an instrument that is unruly and unpredictable.

Just occurred to me that the only Patrick Swazye films I’ve seen are Donnie Darko and The Outsiders. Yep that’s right, never seen Dirty Dancing, Point Break or Ghost.

The cast for The Outsiders is fucken nuts, Patrick Swayze, Matt Dillon, Tom Cruise, Rob Low and Emilio Estevez all pre-stardom and pimply and awkward. Oh and Ralph Macchio too.

Plus Tom Waits. And Sofia Coppola.

Yikes.

Donnie Darko was, in my opinion, a big stinking pile of wank with a petite little turd perched on top.

Speaking of movies, finally got around to seeing The Conformist the other night. Fucken aaaaaace.
