Famous artist Jedidiah Chavez gave us a preview of the photos he took this past Sunday. Here we are, playing poker.
[ April 27, 2008; 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. ] Last night we rocked the vote for Jim Middaugh, and as we were setting up for the show Djerzi played me some of his new songs for Musicians of Sound.
Apparently, while I’ve been busy writing discordant epics, Djerzi has been hard at work writing fucking POWER POP songs straight from the 70s.

Alright, now that we made the “main page” on the61 I’ve become obsessed with it. I want more people to listen and love “I’m happy with what you are” because it’s good. We seriously need some better pictures there. I DO judge books by their covers! Therefore I judge songs by their photos on the61. [...]
The Portland Mercury is kind enough to tell you about his stance on the arts.
Sadly, Amy Ruiz didn’t ask about his position on giving Delightful Young Man $100,000 to write and stage Testify or Grabass.

OK, this was buried in the comments thread, so now it gets its own post.
From Golux13:
Serious question for you, the band: What is (are) the biggest impediment(s) you face in making and distributing your music? Jimmy’s earlier meditation on summer and bygone and/or future projects has me wondering. To put it another way, if you [...]
I swear to G-d, once Steve wins the primary and advances to the general to take down Gordon Smith, we are going to write his campaign theme song.
It’ll be called “Ok, Sure, Maybe He Supports The Death Penalty, But Only In Very Limited Cases, So It Probably Won’t Ever Apply To You Anyway.”
Addendum: Here’s [...]
Today was a fun practice. I was a little pre-occupied with thoughts of yard work when we first started. It’s not as bad outside as the weather people said it would be. They make it so hard to plan! Anyway, I was preoccupied. I was visualizing doing the yard work and then seeing it all [...]
Middle Earth television produced a retrospective documentary about indie rock label Flying Nun a few years back, and it’s now available on YouTube, in nine parts, here.
It’s a fairly fascinating look at the Kiwi scene from the late ’70s through the early ’00s, and it’s notable for two things: 1. New Zealand is pretty much [...]
But Dark Horse has a new comic strip appearing in their forums called Truth Serum.
Oh, and apparently the Portland Mercury is considering replacements for the Perry Bible Fellowship. If you know what’s good for you, you’re gonna vote for Achewood, because Achewood IS THE SHIT.
I recently went to Boston (Abington) and New York City to visit Dave. Jimmy came too. In New York we experienced a lot in a short amount of time. I am hoping that Jimmy writes a song about one of our experiences in particular. Perhaps a sweet sounding song in order to provide a touch [...]
Here at DYM, we’re in the unfortunate position of having too many ideas and not enough time to bring them all to life.
What’s odd about all this is that it’s not always the best ideas that get acted upon. Sure, a rock opera about a couple of robot octopi is a decent [...]
This weekend we finished recording the drums for Tough Nuggets. Well, almost. We didn’t record “The President Speaks!” because Djerzi claims he’s going to reconfigure the intro and write a new riff.
We’re still on track for a summer release, a full four months before the Bush presidency ends, but a full [...]
