I bought a ticket last night just in case (really to make me go), but it didn't seem like it would be a sellout. You should be fine…

there was mention of such a album being made, although it was quickly denied with people saying it was only a single. the more it's existance is denied the more it's probably going to come out. brendon's bio indicated awhile back he was producing jack's solo record, which would appear to be on the back burner as well…

wonder if the inclusion of the greenhornes on the broken flower soundtrack will raise their profile… anyone know if the greenhornes have their keyboard player back in tow? the last show i saw them without the keyboard was a bit lacking. then again it was a monday night in baltimore and the band looked tired and the turnout pretty sparse.

According to an interview done by Mojo,both Jack and Brendan admit the album is complete also including Greenhornes drummer and bass player.It's due early next year and should be followed with some live dates.It has been desribed as "Nirvana meets Cat Stevens." Jack goes on to say that he'll be taking a break from the WS to pursue this and are already working on material for the next one.

I wish I could go, but I already have 4 concerts plus a job interview this week, and I desperately need Thursday night off.

It's like my wife says, "Do you actually have to listen to every damn alt-country band that comes along?"

Don't be such a middle aged pussy. Get out there and rawk. You're sounding more and more like me. How pathetic.

Well give me a list of the bad garage rock bands that should be avoided, and a list of good ones, and tell me the differences between the two lists.

Me too. Wife been away for a week, and last thing she's going to want to do upon coming home is go to a rock and roll show. At least she's letting me go to shows on Sunday and Tuesday.
