Jolly news from our friends in the motherland! 'Tired of Not Being Away From Here' will achieve its UK release on Sept. 1st! You And Whose Army? Records are the chaps responsible for the great tidings. Cheers!

Kill the Messenger, Keep the Message artwork is complete. It looks fabulous. Jason Byron Nelson is the artsy-fartsy man responsible. Mixing will resume Aug 28th, which means we're only a couple months away from keeping our promise. Save room in your stockings and tell Santa cuz we should have it available by xmas!

All tracking is completed. You hear me? All tracking completed.

Site was down for a bit. My apologies. I didn't notice while frequenting the studio day/night.

Songs are coming along. You can hear an unfinished/unmixed outtake on the Messenger page now. The song is called Bad Habits Make New Friends. It's actually 2 songs in one. Part I is referred to as Typinical; Part II- Ephiphanical.

Check and Give feedback. 24 songs down, 6 to go. Those numbers seem to be eerily prevalent.

Dave is heading back into the studio to complete tracking for "Kill the Messenger, Keep the Message" and "Spring Clean..." on April 11th. Soon after, mixing will be done. By the way, in case you haven't heard, Jared Woosley (Fivespeed) and Tim Kasher (Cursive, The Good Life) are guest vocalist on those records.

After time off for holidays, spring break, and some more travel (as well as some madatory election attention) recording for Before Braille shall reconvene. Not to worry, some work was being done at that time...Art For Starters album layout just got a boost by some pretty great photography from Troy Brinkerhoff.

A day of reckoning. A recording of Five Minute Warning, aka R Is For Regret has been completed. "Fans" from the good ole days may find delight in this news, as I have been teased, pressured, and prodded over this song for years. So, with my apologies, here it finally is. You're welcome. -dpj
