A NEW BLOG, A NEW YEAR, A NEW DEAL.
Hi,
Tim here. Haven’t updated the blog section in quite some time. Sorry about that. We’ve been a little busy. The Record is finished. I swear this time. Ha ha. I am going to put it up on our new player for 24 hours. One day just in case anyone was keeping track. From 11am New Year’s Day, till 11am January 2nd. That’s Central Time.
I am proud of this record. I think we were able to accomplish what we set out to do. Tommy, Jarod, Nate, Mikey Peterson, Carrie Lilligan, and Pat Ogle, all performed swimmingly, and Bill mixed the hell out of it. I hope you enjoy it. Feel free to leave comments.
As for an official release? I’ll keep you posted. Oh, we are playing Jan. 24 @ The Dirt Room, for you Chicago folks.
Now for the part you may want to skip. Unless of course you are like me and like to read lists of what people were listening to all year.
Folks have mixed feelings about year end lists, but I like to read ‘em, hope you do too, cause here’s mine.
