How about a sales update?

In July, we made a whopping $7 from iTunes… followed by an additional $10.36 from eMusic! I can’t wait to tell our accountant!
If you add in the $29 we made off with from the Towne Lounge show, I’d say it’s never been a more lucrative time to be a member of Team DYM.  We’ve got [...]

99% of what they say is meaningless

And I was worried we wouldn’t have Karl Rove to kick around anymore!
Yeah, I don’t actually have anything to say about this.  I was just sick of seeing my damn ancient face.

Jimmy gets older

Happy birthday to Jimmy.

Remain Vigilant, Concerned Citizens

Another track for the Jimmy Kaufmann solo EP is up. One more to go.
This one I kind of feel bad about doing solo. It almost sounds like a sketch for a DYM song… but I still can’t quite shake the feeling that there’s something inherently shitty about it, so maybe all is for [...]

Thinking of Opening a Witchcraft Supply Store in Your Town?

Then this site has some helpful tips you should read.
Unfortunately, they buried the most important piece of advice:
“DO NOT CALL YOURSELF A WITCHCRAFT STORE.”
Also, this seemed appropriate:

Gertrude Press Fundraiser 8-16-08

[ August 16, 2008; 7:00 pm to 11:00 pm. ] That’s right… we’re once again helping to raise money for our favorite LGBT literary journal and small press, Gertrude.

Tickets for the event are on sale here.

Once again we’ll be auctioning off an original DYM song written to the specifications of the highest bidder. You might recall that last time around, we auctioned [...]

Some love for the Towel Boy

Today’s the birthday of our Co-#1 Fan. He’s the guy who designed our logo. He’s the guy who designed the cover art for Roboctopus (and will be designing the art for Musicians of Sound). He’s the guy who has to defend us to his work friends when we’re complete assholes [...]

Someone agrees with Bubba!

At least he did back in April, before he realized that we’re totally committed to putting out song after song of overproduced crap just like the rest of the goddamn music-entertainment industry. I love watching the hope die in people’s eyes as they realize that we, too, are soulless sell-outs.

Friday, August 15 - Towne Lounge

[ August 15, 2008; 9:00 pm to 11:59 pm. ] Whoa! I guess we’re playing a show next week. How about that? Maybe you want to come see us play several of our songs for the very last time before we move full-bore into Musicians of Sound.

Friday, August 15, at the Towne Lounge.

We’ll be playing with Branden Daniel, who according to his [...]

Halfway there

“Warrior Christ” is here.
And that’s going to be it for a while for the Jimmy Kaufmann solo EP. The next two songs are quite a ways off from being anywhere near ready to record, and since I’ll be working on the Kaufmann on Kaufmann EP, Musicians of Sound, recording the rest of Tough Nuggets, [...]

The Princess is in which castle what now?

OK. First, the really, really good news. At practice today I came one step closer to achieving a lifelong dream. Actually, it was more like 500 steps.
Djerzi’s written a bunch of new songs for Musicians of Sound, and he expressed an interest in playing guitar when we play them live. [...]

Look At Me With Someone You Love

The Jimmy Kaufmann solo EP is now a third of the way done. I’d hoped to have it halfway done by today, but I’m still working on The Song Currently Known As “Warrior Christ.” That title will probably change, after I finish writing the lyrics.
I’m also writing the lyrics for Musicians of Sound. [...]

And you thought you had a tub!
