In The Cove, a team of activists and filmmakers infiltrate a heavily-guarded cove in Taiji, Japan. In this remote village they witness and document activities deliberately being hidden from the public: More than 20,000 dolphins and porpoises are being slaughtered each year and their meat, containing toxic levels of mercury, is being sold as food in Japan, often times labeled as whale meat. The...
WatchI just saw the movie ‘The Cove’ and I cannot tell you how important it is for you to see it, ASAP. It’s in the theaters now; this is that most crucial time that all movie makers face, where the number of people who attend a film in the first week or two is the basis on which theater owners decide whether to pull a movie or keep it in the theater for an extended run.It’s an amazing film, one...

Watchi think this is the second animal video i’ve ever posted, the first being my cousin’s illegal african tortoise. so don’t worry, this won’t become a trend. but i saw this monkey at the memphis zoo and had to share. this shit was bananas.
(again, sorry, i had to)
WatchOn the road with yet another wonderful trio of guys: The Antlers. We have some pretty amazing luck when it comes to touring, despite our recent keyboard disaster. I was going to take pictures of Darby trying to fix Annie’s MT-70 with a little soldering iron and screwdriver, but as we stood beside him anxiously waiting to see if he could get the keyboard to turn on, he suddenly seemed a...

Please Help! MT-70 Blues
Annie’s Casio MT-70 finally bit the dust after all these years, and now we have an entire US headlining tour before us without our MVP! We’re on the road to Cincinnati right now, and have been ebaying and craigslisting to no avail. We could really use your help! If anyone knows of one for sale in amy city that we’re about to travel to, please let us know! Email...
WatchOur sweet tour manager, Tomas, always brings us the most hilarious old Czech movies from home to entertain us with during the long drives. The name of this one was ‘Tomorrow I will burn myself with tea” or something to that affect. It was kind of like Back to the Future meets Oceans Eleven…suitcase bombs, porno music, wide-collared shirts, spaceships, and time travel. Who could ask for anything...
WatchBetween recording with Aeroplane and then the impromptu jam session with Jarvis Cocker, (which I’ve already posted about), I can certify that our time off in Paris was truly nuts. But I’ve been saving this gem for last. I think I mentioned that we recorded a song with Jean-Benoit of Air a few weeks back. Well, it was time to make a video for the song, and JB was all about the green screens. This...
WatchWe’re in a studio in Paris with Aeroplane today recording a song with them. This is a video of us listening to their remix of ‘Shadows’…it’s soooooo good! We’re so excited…but it’s kinda like what happened with “Reverse Migration” when we feared the remixes were better than the originals! I can’t wait till I can post this remix for...
WatchMore tour video: This one was taken from the drive to Husqvarna to Stockholm. Take this and multiply it 28 times and that is what tour is like basically. Let me know if this stuff is too boring to post.
WatchWe just played the Popadelica festival in Husqvarna, Sweden and shared a stage with I’m From Barcelona and Trail of the Dead. This is the video of IFB…they were amazing!

FEUDALISM: You have two cows. Your lord takes some of the milk.
PURE SOCIALISM: You have two cows. The government takes them and puts them in a barn with everyone else’s cows. You have to take care of all of the cows. The government gives you as much milk as you need.
BUREAUCRATIC SOCIALISM: You have two cows. The government takes them and put them in a barn with...
WatchWe’re sharing a bill for the next few days with this adorable Danish girl named Kat that I just think is SO talented. She is destined for greatness with her honey voice and gorgeous melodies. And as a keyboard player, she’s a girl after my own heart.
This is a little video I took of her while she was soundchecking, and this is her myspace page where you can hear nice recordings.

I am the guest writer for today’s entry on Live Wrong and Prosper. If you’re not already reading that site regularly, you really, really should be, as it is consistently funny and interesting. My question is a bit intense, and my answer is very earnest. Feel free to answer it your own way in the comments, but seriously, if you say yes to this question, I think you are...
