One time Hellogoodbye played a secret show at the 1619 House. Our Fair City and Boy With Robot played outside (BWR was sans Kerry because she had gotten hit by a car); Romance Is Born, Makeout Party (their singer looks like Fred Savage) and Hellogoodbye played inside. Some doofus brought a bunch of pool noodles… :)
HA HA RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT.

HI!
Tomorrow at approximately 7AM, we are driving back to my friend Jesse’s recording studio in Boca Raton, Florida. Over the past few months, with the help of my friend Dustin Isbert, I have been recording more songs in my basement. I’m way into these batch songs much more than the others from last summer. We are going to be staying at my grandmothers luxurious condo with a pool and 80’s style furniture. I’m pumped. I’m hoping to document everything: a bit more organized and more frequent than last time. I packed the FlipCam and Dustin has a fancy Macintosh computer that is way more compatible then my crappy laptop. Crossing my fingers for no power-outages. Here goes nothin!
I made a Spotify playlist:

Total break up record. I probably listened to this over a billion times. Meebles.
2. Yuck - S/T.
Super simple awesome rockish.
3. The Lonely Forest - Arrows.
Cool Pacific Northwest rock n roll. “…Go Outside” is one my favorite songs ever.
4. Kelli Schaefer- Ghost Of The Beast.
This girl writes killer songs.
5. Sloan - XX.
One of my favy bands. Still making awesome records. Canada!
6. Wilco - The Whole Love.
The best band in the fucking world.
7. Wye Oak - Civillian.
The title track rules. That girl writes killer riffs.
8. Ages - Made In The Trade.
We waited years for this! @CatBlatch is a great barber and man!
9. The Decemberists - The King Is Dead.
Always been into this band - got way into this record for a while.
10. The Joy Formidable - The Big Roar.
Saw this band play at Johnny Brendas in front of 20 people. Six months later they opened up for the Foo Fighters and got fucking huge.
More: IIOI - Proper. // Bon Iver - S/T. // DCFC - Codes & Keys. // SSLBS - Tape Club ( this is a b-sides record, but that band is too good.) // The Strokes - Angles.
REHEARSED!
WE HAD A JOY RIDING REHEARSAL TONIGHT! YAK!
What to drink when listening to SSLYBY.
PROGRESS!
JDR. North Bowl. September 2011.
I listened to the songs in full this week for the first time since mid-summer, as I decided to sit on them for a while before rushing back down to finish the recording. I’m excited. There is a song about a scary coat rack, Malcom Gladwell and Tarrytown, New York. Jesse and Tim are tracking from Florida this week. Vocals on deck. Eek! We will finish this record someday! PATIENCE!
Currently Listening: Land of Talk - Some Are Lakes LP
I forever want to start a band called Violet and the Bickerstaffs.

Hi! I like this song.
Ages “Made In The Trade”
- Highly recommended for fans of Avett Brothers, Old 97’s, and other stuff I can’t really think of. It’s really good! The album is available for a name-your-price download. Also, the band includes Dave Downham and Dave Dunn from Up Up Down Down.
