That is fucking awesome!
in which I am an indirect contributor to Highlights for Children
In february, I wrote about the time that Anne and I discussed Highlights for Children at great length: "You know what I always hated about Highlights?" Anne said, "some idiot kid had always circled the hidden pictures." "Seriously!" I said, "fuck that kid, man. That kid's a dick." "And what kin...
Beautiful :)
Thanks for sharing, Wil.
ps. Fezes are coo'
In which I am a proud father
"I have to tell you," Jonathan Coulton's wife said to me on the last night of the cruise, "how wonderful your boys are." "I have two daughters," Peter Sagal's wife told Anne, "and I hope this isn't weird or creepy, but I really hope they meet guys like your sons." "Dude, you know you raised your...
congrats! I'm really happy for you guys.
I love the acoustic album. I think it's an awesome idea and I know you worked really hard on it. so thank YOU. :)
I think TGAM is insanely good and it's really fun to listen to (although I think that's the case for all your guys' albums). especially with the songs I got to watch you guys record, because I have memories attached to them and already fell in love with them.
and ugh. LA is heartbreakingly close, but still a thousand miles away from me. (I consider anything on/near the west coast 'close,' haha).
sigh. I will see you guys some day, though! even if I have to save up and fly. I've been waiting for about seven years. it'll happen eventually, right? right? haha.
ps: I think you only used 'thank you' three times by the time you commented on overusing it (and then made it five).
... good god, I'm rambly. shutting up now, sorry.
ALL THAT FALLS SHALL RISE AGAIN
Hey, all. Happy Autumn to you. First off: huge, HUGE thanks. "The Great American Midrange" has been out for almost two weeks now, and we were excited to get the word from MGMT a few days ago that we had the best opening week sales of our career. Even made the Billboard Heatseekers Chart. And...
Aw, that's so awesome. Congrats! And good luck with the show!
the big bang buzz
The Los Angeles freeway system, having thoroughly vexed me yesterday, was more forgiving this morning, and I arrived at work fifteen minutes early. I am happy to report that the simple joy of driving my car across the Warner Brothers lot, between sound stages and behind golf carts and past dozen...
I'd definitely recommend this album. The boys let fans have a look into the recording process earlier this year via 24hr stream of the recording studio. It was a wonderful thing to experience. They are such hard workers and I loved that we had the opportunity to see that. I'm so excited for this album to be out and for others to experience it - TGAM is even better than I remember it.
(PS: 'Thunderhead' has been suck in my head since the album released. Absolutely love that song.)
The Elms, The Great American Midrange, with Exclusive Commentary Track
Napster's version of The Elms' latest album comes with a nice surprise: An exclusive 12-minute commentary by the band's Owen Thomas on the inspiration for each of the songs (presented as a bonus 13th track). Thomas is a really thoughtful guy and gives some very interesting and detailed insigh...
I'd really love to go back to the Badlands someday. I effing love that place.
And man. I'm so excited for this album. a;lskjdfl;ajksldkjf
STURGIS, SD
What's up, party people? The fellas and I drove to Sturgis, SD this week to play shows on two consecutive days. I think the highlight of the trip for everybody was getting to see the scenery of The Badlands. It's almost as if God set that part of the country aside and said, "Alright, I'm going...
I effing love Powell's.
Also, let me be the millionth person to suggest Voodoo Doughnut to you. It's downtown and in walking distance (or take the Max if you like - Skidmore fountain stop, two blocks West, then hang a right).
LEVERAGE: day three
I wasn't on the call sheet today, but I went to the set anyway, because I felt like I was welcome to visit if I wasn't in the way, and because we were shooting at the Portland Art Museum, and I was planning to go see their collection on my day off. I slept much later than I've been able to since...
I'm glad you're loving Portland :) It's a great city. And yeah, the rain definitely seems to come out right when you're trying to go somewhere.
It was great to see you yesterday at The Square, even if we didn't have the chance to meet. I, like many, grew up watching you on TNG, and am definitely looking forward to seeing Leverage.
LEVERAGE: day four
Woke up early yesterday and wrote for about an hour. Met Rogers and walked to a fantastic place for breakfast (forget the name of the place, but President Clinton ate there once and they have something named after him on the menu.) Had a delicious tofu scramble thing, and the most sensational Fr...
