Advice for bands + gear: 1) You can use the stuff everyone else uses and it’ll sound fine 2) You can use the stuff that you already have and it’ll sound fine.

Thanks to TIM for all this. He’s been a huge supporter of us, and more than that - has set a great example how to use his powers to lift people up - so many bands have great “Wow, Tim helped us out” stories - he’s a legend in music, but also as person. #TimsTwitterListeningParty

Sad news today to learn that a great songwriter and hero of ours, Martin Phillipps, passed away. I was lucky enough to shake his hand in London a few years back, and luckier still that he took a moment to write his thoughts on one of our albums.

2. Come Saturday - man, Archie Moore made this song about 10% more awesome, as when he heard it before mixing - he was like “have you ever considered “oooh, ooh, oooh?” And we were like “that’s weird. no.” and then we were like “Actually, that’s cool” #TimsTwitterListeningParty

Yeah, also, there’s a pretty cool emo breakdown in this song. Again, I think Archie Moore did an amazing job mixing this - I know he’s not a famous guy, but since he was in both Black Tambourine and Velocity Girl, he is a legend in our book forever! #TimsTwitterListeningParty

Some of you have asked about the 10 year anniversary of BELONG (Monday). We could say “we aren’t bound to the capitalist demands of “10 year anniversaries, man” but the truth is Mike at @SlumberlandRecs is still looking for the art files, so it’ll take a while to repress it. <3

This is a record we started when he was with us, and finished when he was gone. Sharing today in loving memory of one of my favorite songwriters. I hope you’re jangling a Rickenbacker in rocknroll heaven. We miss you! @tompetty “Full Moon Fever”

My mom is moving and dumped a bunch of old indiepop zines at my house from 2007 + 2008. I’m posting screenshots over at Instagram, not sure how else to document this wondrous moment. Thanks to the Sapricot, Bottle Rocket, Anorak Forum + more! ❤️

Wish I knew where the rest of these photos went, as my 3 year old daughter is obsessed with Swan Lake and I want to show her that dad is a cool ballerina...

I always want to make colorful shirts, but people only want black shirts and that’s really why I ended the band.

Here’s an account of our show in Manchester at the Chorlton Irish Center 2009. Glasgow and Manchester are the two best music cities that aren’t named New York as we see it - it was nice that the connection felt mutual.
