Everybody,

Long time no blarg, eh?  Yes indeed.  Well, we’ve been quite busy over here at Boneless HQ.  For instance, Jonathan Kepke and I have been busy working up music for a short by Killing My Lobster, which actually I’ll also embed here for enjoyment:

And before that, I personally did the music for KML’s “Oakland” video:

Super.  And actually I posted the full musics over on my personal web page, which you can go enjoy by clicking here! And scrolling down to the KML Oakland section.  We’re having fun now, boy…

And otherwise, we’ve been recording our new album monster, which has been delightful and enjoyable and it’s getting there, you know how it is (do you?), and also preparing for the thrill-ride that is to be the Rock Make Street Festival in San Francisco! Which the kind folks running were kind enough to bring us in on.  And especially special thanks to Tartufi for that.

So it’s on Sunday, August 23, in San Francisco’s Mission District.  Can’t miss it.  It’ll be the loud music thing going on.  And it includes a huge number of other great bands - Tartufi, Low Red Land, The Dont’s, Geographer, Magic Bullets, and so on.  And it’s sponsored by The Bay Bridged, Tartufi and Whiz Bang Fabrics!  So there you go.  Oh, and co-presented by Noise Pop, yes it is!  So that’s a thing.  All in all.  To come and see.

Still not sure when we’ll be playing, but it’s going to be an exciting thing… probably we’ll be on the earlier side, because we are that kind of band, god damn it, but you never know I suppose!  AND we’re working hard to get some t-shirts printed up for the event!  And frighteningly special thanks to Sarah Forrester for continuing to help us with art and for being so super awesome.  It’s going to be a version of that there “Critters” design you see in the upper left hand corner of this page!  So that’s neat. And yes we will have girl sizes also!  Hooray!  So girls can wear our shirts all strapped to their upper bodies.  Lower half?  Sorry, we have nothing for you.  You’ll have to go nekkid if you need us to dress you.  Sorry.  For real.  Go get something on; it’s cold out.  In San Francisco.  I mean, or don’t - feel free to frolic naked until it gets cold.  But it will, because it’s San Francisco.  And it’s like that.

In other news, someone just reminded me that “Animal House” was the movie wherein I first saw actual nudity in a film.  Interesting.  Other early nudity-in-movies moments for me included “Ragtime” (the “my clothes evaporated” scene - the movie might have other scenes in it, but I can’t recall; I was a little thing at the time!), “Revenge of the Nerds,” and… well, I don’t know.  Probably whatever I could scare up on late night Showtime.  But that’s not so early anymore, really.  And I don’t think I’m all that scarred for it.  Nope.  I don’t think nudity really causes as many problems as violence.  I do recall seeing a brief, brief scene of the movie, “The Boogeyman” (1980 movie; not the 2005 one) where someone got an arrow in the neck while they were sitting in a car.  Yeah, that caused more ascaredyness in me than the nudity in the aforementioned movies caused profound en-pervitude.

Bottom line?  The following points:

1) Check out the musics and short videos I posted above;

2) Go to the Rock Make Street Festival on August 23 in San Francisco’s Mission District;

3) Go look at nudity; it’s good for you;

4) Don’t show your kids lots of violence, simulated or no.  Not good for their little minds.  Seriously, people.  Cut that shit out.

Ok!  Happy thoughts.  And more happy thoughts soon.  And watch out for fascism; it’s sticky and gross and really, really hard to clean off your shoes.  Stepped in some this morning.  Someone threw up some outside my house.  It’s a god damn mess.

More and more,

David
