Check Nathan's blog for a full update - my version of events won't be that different. We've had two sets of visitors in the past two weeks and it's been a blast. And September's looking just as jam-packed with fun weekends and concerts.
Do you ever leave songs on CDs unlistened-to? Sometimes I'll buy a new CD of a band I really like, but I'll be so caught up listening to something different that my brain can't take it in, so I give up on sections of records. Finding good songs on those records later is like a great gift. That happened this week when we borrowed Rob's car (Nathan's singer). He had a copy of a Bright Eyes record that I bought way back in Washington and gave up on because I couldn't deal with anything but ultra-fast punk at that time. Well, now I've heard the second half of it and I'm really enjoying a couple of songs: Make War and Bowl of Oranges.
Tomorrow, my band has a second practice. I haven't talked about this because there's nothing really to talk about. A couple of girls that I met through Rob are just as incompetent at their instruments as I am at drums, so we're playing together. I don't really know anything about them except that one is the DJ that put the Taxpayers on the college radio station here. All I'm really expecting to get out of this is drum practice in a non-judgmental environment, but I think these girls have very high hopes. We'll see how it turns out.

In that case, I think you're going to love the Taxpayers when I can finally get off my ass and send you the songs.
I couldn't agree more on the "unopened" songs. I love discovering that stuff. It feels like you just found a 20 dollar bill in your laundry.
Good luck with the band. Just have fun with it.
