Sooooo the album mix due date has come and gone… and nope its safe to say. We still have a few days left on this bad boy. No worries. I just got home from Brooklyn. We got some help on mixing “all you need” from Asi Spector. He helped me a lot on the last record. I felt like I wanted to get him in the mix a bit. Otherwise, I’m shot. Alllllll day long just work on this record. I love it… and yet its sooo draining. I don’t sleep. I just work alllllll day. Crista and Steve are busting their asses too. Steve came over last night after work. He came to this city from long island at 10 … we worked till 2:30 got up at 8:30 to finish tracking in time to mix at 330. Just got home. The urgency that we created because of having a deadline now has sparked a little flame under our asses. We should have an album done in this next week or so… no bullshit this time. And it will hopefully make an impact on people.

Wow. I Love This. We covered this song for our CD release party. Street Music – \"Stand By Me\" around the word!
You may think that we are supposed to eat Mexican and Drink Coronos till we drop… but there is real meaning to Cinco De Mayo.
According to Wikipedia:
Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for “fifth of May”) is a regional holiday in Mexico, primarily celebrated in the state of Puebla, with some limited recognition in other parts of Mexico.[1][2] The holiday commemorates the Mexican army’s unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of Mexican General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín.[3][4]
ps… its not Mexican independence day.

Where are we at? Well still recording. Thinking a lot about you. Will this album make sense… Have we gone overboard. Who fuckin knows! Anywhooo… Hofstra on May 2nd was great. Connected with a lot of cool kids. I love playing college shows. I always feel like I’m hanging with all friends. It was cool to play with the ATAL guys. I haven’t seen them in a long time. It was great to see them still doing there thing… and doing it well.
I thought a little while about what to write for Earth Day. For a second I even wrote… “Please Recycle.” Then I reallized, why would anyone ever read a blog that says please recycle. Its like saying brush your teeth at this point. So for the purposes of creating some real value you here I thought I’d direct you to an amazing website. I met a guy in Austin, Tx by the name of Aron Kressner. He is involved in running a with a website called http://www.lazyenvironmentalist.com . Its an interesting website where you find real world ways to go green without trying very hard. They’ve got a book and a TV show on the way. I loved the idea so I thought I’d share. Hopefully you can find a few ways to green up your life for Earth Day today.

Lion of Ido – “Everything Changes”
I take chances for the thrill. Or be slaves in narrows building pyramids for 400 years.
I thought it would be an appropriate time to explain theses lyrics. Believe it or not, they have a lot to do with Passover.
The story of Passover is that the Jewish people escaped from 400 years of slavery in Egypt. They roamed the desert for 40yrs and finally made there way back to the land of Israel.
“mitzrayim”: The Hebrew word for “Egypt” is derived from the Hebrew word tzar (narrows, straits), meaning “from the narrows” or “tight confinement”.
They idea of Passover is to celebrate our release from bondage…or narrows.
In modern times one can be externally free and nevertheless enslaved to an evil within oneself — power, envy, intolerance, hatred, cruelty, selfishness, despair, and apathy. Releasing the chains you put on yourself and freeing the human spirit is at the core of growing and changing as a person.

Happy Passover… if your celebrating prepare to not poop for 8 days. Matzah is a killer! Shows this week have been awesome. Meeting alot of great people and bands this week. Can’t wait for the shows at the end of the week. I lost my phone and i’m depressed about it.
I tried Hot Yoga for the first time 2 days ago… They should call it Hell Yoga. They put the room up to 115 Degrees and then make you do yoga for 90 minutes. It was gross. What an awful feeling! I’m going back next week:) The band and I have been hard at work finishing the new album… putting together the finishing touches. I know I keep saying its almost done… but really. We are getting close! Such a strange place to be… finishing another album. I felt like I just made the first record at my parents house in my bed room. Here we go again:) Next record in Jerusalem. Then Barcelona.
Ps. We are on the hunt for a guitar player and a keyboard player. If you know anyone e-mail me!

Working on a some new music. I don’t know what to make of it. Its like 80’s prince pop, meets 60’s style Justice remix’s. I know … it doesn’t even make sense to me. BUTTTT its kinda cool. If it makes you feel good its gotta be right.
