There isn't one.<p />
<b>Hey guys whats up??? You guys down to play ____ on ____??</b><br />
Probably not. But can't hurt to ask.<p />
<b>Will you dudes ever play again?</b><br />
Time will tell.<p />
<b>Are you guys still together?</b><br />
No, but we're not not together either.<p />
<b>Come to ____!</b><br />
If the price is right, okay.<p />
<b>Will you ever do a European Tour? </b><br />
We did two, plus a couple UK ones. So, already did.<p />
<b>How come I can't find tour dates anywhere?!</b><br />
Because there aren't any.<p />
<b>Give me new music! </b><br />
It doesn't work like that.<p />
<b>Where can i find the lyrics of your songs? </b><br />
They're out there. There used to be a downloadable Word doc of the <i>2</i> lyrics on our old label's website, which must be floating around somewhere. If you want the <i>Alive As You Are</i> lyrics, buy a physical copy.<p />
<b>Jared please call me.</b><br />
No.<p />
<b>Where's the best place to buy <i>2</i> on vinyl?</b><br />
The <i>2</i> LP sounds like shit. Buy the CD, and just get the vinyl for the bonus track.<p />
<b>Where are you guys??</b><br />
California. We all do stuff. You might particularly like <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/White-Fence/109125289153214" target="blank">White Fence</a>.<p />
<b>Please don't say you've broken up. </b><br />
Okay.<p />

An excerpt:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #666666;">A close friend of mine once argued that the logical endpoint of psychedelic music is country rock. Drawing on the great tradition of 1960s urban, acid bands that followed short-lived rocking careers with moves to country sensibilities (foreshadowing 1970s introversion), the argument is compelling in pointing out the limits of psychedelic rock’s gimmicks. One can only dress folk or rhythm and blues song structures in so many shades of reverb or layers of studio trickery before they feel drawn to the internal logic of their songs or songwriting approaches.</span></i></blockquote>

Our long-lost <a href="http://www.daytrotter.com/dt/darker-my-love-concert/20054462-3737436.html" target="blank">Daytrotter session</a>. It was back on our last tour, last November, when we devoted a day to driving the 266 miles from Columbia, Missouri, to Davenport, Iowa, to record 4 songs for Daytrotter. Which we'd always wanted to do, because not only do you get that sharp illustration, but they record it all live to 1/4" tape. A few memories remain - it was frigid. We ate at a Chevron Subway for lunch. Speaking of gas stations, we witnessed, from the comfort of our hotel room, what we were pretty sure was a tweak'd-out armed robbery at the convenience store across the street the night before. Rob was targeted and embarrassed by a local with a loud vehicular public address system in the drive-thru line at Starbucks that morning ("You with the beard. <i>That</i> is a kickass beard."). They had a ton of great gear at the studio, a stone's throw from the Mississippi River. And we were in and out of there in 2 hours so we could make way for Delta Spirit's all-night session - subsequently, 9+ months elapsed during which the promotional value of the session evaporated. But if you were wondering what we sounded like on November 17, 2010 (not yesterday, despite what their page says), Hear It Is.

So I guess <i>(affect Paul Schaffer voice)</i> you could call it "Bluegrass Day." Boosh.

There's more coming, much more, but for now, look at "Dear Author," which is an exclusive over at <a href="http://www.relix.com/video/artist-exclusives/2011/01/25/darker-my-love-with-acme-string-quartet-dear-author">RELIX</a>.<br />

Well, this is what it looked like.

Which is a bummer, because here that is:<br /><br /><object width="500" height="306"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BE3i_DYug9E?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BE3i_DYug9E?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="500" height="306"></embed></object><br /><br />p.s. That's our buddy Dan Iead on pedal steel, whom you might've seen playing on the tour we just finished while Jared was in the studio making our next record for us. Also congratulations to The Fling, Emily Sills, and Reed and Stacy from Dangerbird for getting their faces on TV. I'm sure their respective families are proud.<br />p.p.s.

Well, okay. So we walk 100 yards down the highway to what appears to be called Minatures Lounge, whose entry is marked with a stenciled sign reading "LOUNGE ENTRY." It's a little bit David Lynch, a little bit <i>Pee-Wee's Big Adventure</i> inside - turqouise walls, turquoise booths, 10 or so Native Americans (including one tranny), us 3 white man, and a guy that looks like he's hosting a karaoke night that nobody wants to bother with. Turns out he's just a DJ, introing every CD on a mic via some next-song-themed riddle e.g., "Hey Jay, is that a Dallas Cowboys hat you're wearing? Because you're looking like a real <i>sharp-dressed man</i>;" "Juan, is it 5 o'clock yet? No? Well, <i>it's 5 o'clock somewhere.</i>" Etc.). He comes over and introduces himself (Rick), writes our names down on his notepad, and announces us to the other bar patrons, and then goes down the bar and introduces them all by name. Juan's the bouncer, and after a while he comes over and tells us about his years fronting metal band JP Rocks down in El Paso. But he mellowed out ("too much partying") and moved home. Then he tells us that in a few minutes, we're gonna sing "I Fought the Law," like it or not, just on the choruses, <i>it's not a big deal.</i> So we do it, and it's not a big deal.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC-a1NyI5aQ3dOg13Oym3giY4nnbWzyZyuQLhl20fU_4pLOsBjFyvflOAwDg2WkLzBvrejGNbHCSoIlwgphcc1FuhzxTWpNhKimk3JxxstEcJi2cpAW05B56MGVWSHXAbj5gXM4CbVg6Y/s1600/photo+2.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px; " src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC-a1NyI5aQ3dOg13Oym3giY4nnbWzyZyuQLhl20fU_4pLOsBjFyvflOAwDg2WkLzBvrejGNbHCSoIlwgphcc1FuhzxTWpNhKimk3JxxstEcJi2cpAW05B56MGVWSHXAbj5gXM4CbVg6Y/s500/photo+2.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5540296021205134786" /></a>Darker My Dudeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15600256922045102661noreply@blogger.com1
