Note to self:

Always write the second verse when you’re writing the first. Don’t just sing the first verse again, and plan on ‘filling it in later’.. Otherwise, six months after you write a sad song, you have to find a way back into that mindset.

Does anybody else get the urge to dance like Thom Yorke when they listen to Radiohead?

Introducing the theramin and synth bass: here is a clip from the latest mix of “Falling for You”.  

Adam has come to the realization that when this song is played, his dog does strange things (there’s a chance we’ll have a video of that up soon).  We like to think our music is universally stimulating not unlike the Mozart Effect on infants.  If we’re lucky and everything goes as planned, 200 years from now, robot parents will make their robot babies and robot dogs listen to Big-Hearted Robot.

Kazoo Solos

If anyone’s been wondering what we’re up to, we’ve spent the last few weeks trying to fit in a kazoo solo for each song.  Unfortunately, at this point, Might Love if You Stay looks like the only one suitable for such an elegant instrument.  But don’t worry, we’ll keep trying and get back to you guys!

New 8-track cassette recorder to play with… $15 to mess around with resampling some of the beats and trying to get some weird noises by screwing with tape. Should get some cool sounds out of this.
Thanks, guy on Craigslist!

From the much more finished, but not yet so, intro track, Set Fire to Your Heart.  All it needs is a kazoo solo or two.

al-khowarizimi asked: How's the album coming?

We made a ton of progress over the break, and everything’s demoed out at this point. Next step is going back and rerecording all the scratch tracks, then figuring out how who we can get to mix/master it. I listened to it over and over on my way back to Ann Arbor, and right now I’m thinking it’s going to be killer. Tomorrow I’ll probably hate it, continuing the cycle, but right now I’m pumped. Obviously our most highest goal is getting onto your top ten list for 2012.

If you want to be truly intimidating,

If you want to make an impact,

If you want to have strong connections with others

just be sincere.

Sarcasm is not an attitude, and it’s not a personality trait. It’s a style of rhetoric meant to be used occasionally to highlight a larger point. Saying…
