For those of you who enjoyed his work on Princes & Princesses, we’re pleased to confirm that a Very Special Guest Star will be making an appearance on Roboctopus as well.
As for Roboctopus, recording is finished on 14 of the 17 tracks. Come next Thursday, “A Hero Who Can Hold You,” “Deeper Than Deep,” [...]
Since you so enjoy being wrong, Jimmy:
Coil.
“‘Jet’ was about McCartney’s dog,” I said this weekend, to which Jimmy replied that I was totally wrong.
Well, guess what, dude–we’re both right.
“Jet” follows, perhaps the best song on the album, with the title being the name of the McCartney’s dog; the second time Paul would name a song after a dog of his, [...]

For the seventh year in a row, Willamette Week has not named us “Portland’s Best New Band.”
As many of you are aware, there is no cable in the Kaufmann household. We got to a certain point a couple years ago where I was just sick and tired of coming home after a long day of writing awesome songs to find Eloise on the couch shoveling cheesy poofs in her maw, [...]

Is this a bit too much for an album masquerading as a Kids Album?
The future can terrify you: it can break your heart or rip your head clean off your body. But the future can also be kind: it can destroy your enemies, and sometimes it can bring the people and pets you love back [...]
The organizers of Barnstock (my parents) are decideing between Labor Day weekend and September 8th. Labor day would be great because we all have that Monday off (maybe not Djerzi). It will be hotter than crap either weekend so that really isn’t a factor. Does anyone have any preferances? Shall we talk about money and [...]

The man knows how to appropriately respond to a tragedy:
“The president believes that there is a right for people to bear arms, but that all laws must be followed,” spokeswoman Dana Perino said
“When I type 58008 into my calculator and turn it upside down, it says BOOBS.”
This weekend, while Djerzi was simultaneously 1) catching up on Battlestar Galactica and 2) trying desperately to convince everyone that he’s a total nerd, me and Eloise watched some Entourage and some Extras.
Thank you, HBO, for continuing to produce [...]
I like wearing clothes and dancing. I … I think what we need…is more dan–dancing. Dancing is fun and it does a body good. It gets the crowd going at the shows we play at and it’s so much fun. And it’s fun. Dancing is good for everyone. I can teach some things. I know [...]
Delightful Girl Chun-Hyang.
It looks like the YouTube embed is working just fine…

So, yes it’s true. We need to go back to the studio and re-record some of Roboctopus. The band has agreed to go back into the studio on my BIRTHDAY!! This is just another example of the lack of respect that I get from then band. Infinite Monkey didn’t even realize it’s my birthday weekend! [...]
Only one month left until we go back to the studio and finish recording the vocals for Roboctopus.
A lot can happen in one month. For instance, by that time I’ll have read Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 8 #3, published by local folks Dark Horse Comics,1 which comes out May 2.
And I’ll probably [...]
Alright. According to our Publicist, we need to find a setlist and stick with it. That’s one thing about playing live that blows my mind. You’re supposed to play the same damn songs in the same damn order every time you go out? Tedious!
But apparently, these shows aren’t about making my [...]
Speaking of shows I won’t be going to, I just got an email from Jeremy:
JX:ATG are playing at Reed College tonight with
Dagger of the Mind (shakespeare metal)
Mose Giganticus (one man midi extravaganza)
Abiku (aural laser beams)
It’s free, in the ping pong room, “doors” at 8PM, it would be awesome to see you there!
As much as I [...]
On my way back from Salem this morning, I listened to “The Last Brigade” seven times.
Every time I get a new Ted Leo album, it takes a couple of days to get over the disappointment that–once again–he hasn’t written a song as good as “Tell Balgeary, Balgury’s Dead.” (You can hear it on his [...]
You know the best way to impress a lady? Invite them back to your place for a nice dinner, where they can get a nice long look at your bookshelf and see the two entire rows you have dedicated to Hitler’s Third Reich and Russia under Stalin. That’s how I hooked Eloise. [...]
