Moving the blog to Myspace...

I've decided to blog on Myspace instead of blogger because it's easier and we get more comments on Myspace. I will however be leaving this blog up for posterity. For current LINUS updates, musings, features, check out our new blog here: http://www.myspace.com/linusthebanddotcom

Scheduled a recording session at HR for next weekend

Read a sobering review of the first CD this past weekend and it made me think about the process we go through to record CDs. I'm thinking that anything else we do is going to be EXTREMELY light on post production. I need to just get this stuff out instead of thinking about it too much. Today I got a coffee at Starbucks and The Strokes were playing over the sound system. Then someone changed the song before it finished. Makes me think about how fast music becomes obsolete. Today I'm going to Toys and Joys to pick up my copy of Dance Dance Revolution Universe 2 which LINUS is featured on. I'm excited about that. It came out on December 4.

The Next Atomic Age

Not sure how I feel about this. Read this article.

Short songs

Looking through a CD of the greatest hits from 1968 and noticed that not a single song was over 3 minutes. Short songs, that's what I want to do.

I think it's time to go back to steel strings

Ok paul1 and paul2, I take back everything I said about the Bob Dylan concert in Hawaii. I'd give you a call but I lost your phone number. I'm watching the Bob Dylan special on VH1 right now. It's making me think of restringing my steel string guitar to start writing. I want a typewriter with blue ink. I've been writing solely on the nylon string acoustic for the past two years. I think it's time to go back to steel. Played a show at Red Lion with The Pimpbot last night and had a great time watching them perform. I wish I lived in the mid 60's.

Trials Pro!

So we were hanging out drinking and watching videos on youtube about ufo's, alien cover ups, and Russian telekinesis. Then Matt showed me Trials Pro. Never would have found this game on my own so I'm glad he shared it.

No download required to play. Play it online now.

Get your DDR dance pad out of storage! LINUS will be featured on DDR Universe 2 on the XBox 360 this winter!

LINUS! has hit the big time with our very first video game song. It's been in the works for a while and I may have slipped up and told a few friends prior to the confirmation a few times but what can I say, I was excited. You'll be able to dance to your heart's content as LINUS jumps out of obscurity and into the hearts and minds of DDR loyalists. We've worked our song "Arrivals and Departures" into pop culture history! Other artist featured on the game include Outkast, Kool and the Gang, The Bangles, and Franz Ferdinand.
