It's Oh so Quiet... It's oh so still...

(Bjork song)

So I am listening to the Oranges band right now and though it was compared to the "East Coast version of The Shins" in the latest SPIN magazine... I disagree. It's a nice flow of music but not the shins.

Martyrs of Maudlin is the best band that you may not know about yet. they did an inhouse live plugged performance last night with Channel Q in Ames and rocked the show. If you want to listen to their perfomance, click here. Scroll down and choose your song. It was fantastic to hear them on the radio. first time, certainly not the last.



Work is a bit erie right now. so quiet that I can hear myself think. My productivity is through the roof and it is really nice. I feel great about things right now.

Steve and Jo from last year at camp and two years ago americorp team rolled through and are staying for a few days. It is great to see them. We are going to head to the High Life tonight for a bit of bowling. Don't mind if I do.
