Today's featured free music download is an experimental cut off 2002's "Completions Constructions & Works in Progress : Part 1". Monday has arrived, once again signaling the end of a productive weekend. Had fun playin with Joe, Jeff, Casey, and Adam at the St. Paul Eagles Club. I am still struggling with being able to hear myself as well as I would like at the louder rock shows which directly correlates to my enjoyment of the show. I sing fairly quietly and singing louder to hear myself often results in bizarre African throat singing.

This weekend I listened to the new Portugal The Man record "The Satanic Satanist", pretty good record, a little more major key than their previous effort "Censored Colors", and to be honest listening to the new album just made me want to hear the previous record. Also listened to more Grizzly Bear, Department of Eagles, Micachu, Chordettes, Gentleman Reg, etc...

Getting an old Airline/Montgomery Ward 1x12 combo shipped to me today. Hoping it survives shipping in good shape and is a good pairing with my favorite amp. The Lectrolab 1x10 combo.

Couple of shows coming up this week should be fun. Thursday night at Acadia Cafe in Minneapolis with Andy and Matt U. and then a quieter percussion free show Friday night at The Root Note in LaCrosse, WI with Casey Virock, Joe Dawson and Jeff Sherin.

Finished up designing some new merchandise this weekend, got some buttons on order for my bandmates and am anxious to see how some of the designs look when they get shipped to me this week.
