for those of you who subscribe to the himynameismark podcast, if you check in your itunes right now you’ll find a video for the socratic song “boy in a magazine.” it is the first single off of their amazing new record “Spread The Rumors,” which is out this week. please support this band and check out the album. i’ll even make you a guarantee: if you buy this record and DON’T end up liking every single second of musical genius contained on it with every single fiber of your very being, i personally guarantee you that you have no taste in music. you can get their album here.

all time low covered dammit, and at the end of the song, jack did a stage dive and this is the result. yikes. get well soon. that song cost me my voice for three weeks after recording it, and now also cost jack the use of his nose. still one of my favorite songs. it’s time to play that song again.

today i ate lunch with 2 guys from australia. they talked funny.

for those of you in the LA area, koopa is playing a show this weekend. here is the flyer for their show.

the other day carol showed me this link. check it out. it looks amazing, but i think you’d have to have a degree from MIT to figure out how to play it. this guy must be some kind of genius, or i must be some kind of idiot. can’t it be both?
