Reading in January

I guess reading is supposed to be good for you or something? This year I've decided that I'm going to make more of an attempt to read outside of school assigned literature. Here are the books that I read in January.

A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle
Siddhartha by Herman Hesse*
Jesus Wants to Save Christians by Rob Bell*
Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer
Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis*

*I enjoyed very much and recommend reading


Pretty much, I'm an even bigger nerd than I was before.

LOLOLOLZ SNOWDAY!!!

We had a fairly decent show this past weekend... possibly one of the best we've ever played - which isn't saying much, but still. You can see some videos and pictures taken below. Thanks everyone who made the trek out to Springfield to support us and/or hurl insults at us.







Also, work on the album is going a little slower than expected. I was hoping to drop a couple of my harder classes in order to focus more time on getting stuff done, but the school counselors seem to think academics are more important than rock'n'roll. Silly counselors.

That's all for today. Hope you enjoy the videos and pictures and this wintery weather. Stay safe.

Fruity

The Pomegranates never cease to awe me. They just released a new single last night and it is blowing my mind. They are fast becoming one of my favorite bands of all time and, more than a few times, I have committed the sin of envy and wished I was them. Check out "Corriander" on iTunes.

Too Young for the Disco

Francis and I have begun work on Wake Up Mordecai's next album, the full-length Too Young for the Disco. Last night we watched the colorful French opening sequence from Umbrellas of Cherbourg for a bit of inspiration and proceeded to lay down guide tracks for most of the songs on the LP. There are still a couple songs that I have ideas for and am trying to finish— we’ll see how that goes. We’re very excited about this project and are shooting for the recording to be done by the end of next month and hopefully the release will be sometime in April or May… I make no promises, though. But yeah, news about the record will be periodically updated on here. Cheers!
