What can be said that hasn't been said already?

Have you heard the complete 1970 Rolling Stones magazine interview? It's a VERY interesting listen.

TEENAGERS FROM MARS, AND WE DON'T CARE

2010-09-16T17:20:00.000-07:00

Here's an interview we did on the first night of our southwest tour in July

FUCKIN' PETTY

2010-08-28T00:14:00.000-07:00

We grew up in the Valley so this one is pretty serious for us. This video was filmed in Sherman Oaks, 818 looks much different here than it does now... Kind of how I like to remember my childhood. I was 4 when this came out.

Die Yuppie Scum. Marty and Elayne. A blow up doll, a construction site, and an African circle dance. UNDENIABLE!

Petty + Campbell + 1/2 The Beatles

Some of the most epic videos from one of the greatest pop records ever. If you don't understand Tom Petty I don't understand you.

WHY CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG?

PALM SPRINGS

2010-04-08T12:51:00.000-07:00

Last month we went on a little tour through the southwest taking us to Austin for SXSW and back.

We borrowed a veggie oil converted shuttle bus from our home-bros in The Outline

All packed up and ready to go

20 minutes outside of LA we broke down in the middle of the 60 East. Stopped in the middle of a 5 lane highway. Check out the beginning of the traffic jam we caused. You know when you think to yourself "Who stops in the middle of a 5 lane highway?!?!" and you get all grumpy? Well, that was us! Highway patrol came and pushed us offa the highway.

AAA came out and couldn't fix it, we had to get towed back to LA.

Graham met us at the mechanic. Sorry we ruined your Sunday soccer game buddy.

My brother saved the day - met us with our friend Gabe's van. Within 20 minutes we were fully loaded up into a converted cargo van with no windows and we were off. We later realized we didn't have any registration on us. We were pushing it, but it looked like we were gonna make our daytime show at the Ace Hotel.

Yeah that didn't happen, we missed the show. Our buddy and desert resident Sean Wheeler made it out. Dressed all dapper in pink, he came with his family. Always great to see Sean. He showed us around town a bit.

Getting in the Desert mood

At least our pals Sleepy Sun were also playing in town that night.

We shared songs and "jammed." Some of us enjoyed an herbal infused soy milk

Rachel rippin' it

This night was actually better than the show we missed could have ever been

Goodnight

we're recording some new songs.

500 Miles

2010-02-22T15:05:00.000-08:00

Picked up this Nick Cave bootleg 7" at the recently closed Territory BBQ + Records a couple months back. It's all covers (including a version of "Helpless" - tho not as good as the version on the Neil Young tribute comp) pulled from a 1989 KCRW in studio performance.

"500 Miles" is a great song that I was not familiar with before. Of course Brandon already knew it...

Sound On Sound

2010-02-19T15:16:00.000-08:00

Watt + No Age + Tim Kerr jam. It was fucking cool! I should probably get a real camera.

ROW ROW ROW MY BOAT

2010-02-05T18:46:00.000-08:00

Slang Chickens "Row My Boat" Music Video from Psychedelic Judaism on Vimeo.

Check out our video for "Row My Boat." We filmed this in Evan and Tristan's apartment on a flip cam with a green screen curtain in a few rowdy hours... it was a party.

Anthony, one of the more creative people know busted out two covers of the song.

solo:

Us chickens moved into a new rehearsal space. Feels great to move into the new year with new ideas, new perspective, and new feelings.

Leaving the space the other day I came across two very un-human objects

With oddly human appearances

Border always looks pretty human (and handsome) to me, especially here all fancy for Thanksgiving

Al Shelton is an artist, musician, cowboy, father, and friend to many.

Met him months ago, and recently went back to his gallery/studio/living space to check in with him.

One of the more eventful hours I can remember.

Al played and sang some of his favorite songs, like “Blue Spanish Eyes” and “Mona Lisa.” They sounded broken, but beautiful.

Everyone’s got a story to tell. Everybody’s got something to learn. Don’t be afraid to talk to people. ‘09 is feeling real good.

SING YR F’N HEART OUT!

Last month, my Dad forwarded me this speech / essay written by Brain Eno for NPR. Since we’ve been recording vocals, I figured it would be an appropriate post:

Singing: The Key To A Long Life by Brian Eno

I love this article. I love to sing. I love singing with people. It’s not about talent or ability. It’s about intent. It’s about passion. It’s about feeling. It’s about living. I love Roy Orbison. I love Aretha Franklin. I love Darby Crash.

It’s been one hell of a year. See you in 09.
