"Making of" Video for
The Reverie of Ruby Star (www.thereverieofrubystar.com




Part 1: Making Posters for
"We Are Giants Now"


Featuring music by Harris, Sugar Cookie

Part 2: Making Posters for
"We Are Giants Now"



...watch the the end! Funny stuff
InfluencesBob Dylan, the Flaming Lips, Nick Drake, the Lemonheads, Ben Folds, Rancid, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Steely Dan, Cake, Thin Lizzy, the Cars, Wilco, John Lennon, Weezer, Kansas, Death Cab for Cuttie, Feist, Lee Perry
Sounds LikeThese new songs have been described as, "musically, it's like if Wilco, the Flaming Lips, and the Postal Service got together for a few songs. It's exciting to hear the strength of Ben's songwriting with new tools and ideas to express them".

Newer material currently being recorded brings in live drums, bass, horns and strings for acoustic treatments in addition to electronic sounds and other experimental deviations.

TSC~SUMMERTIME-SHOWS IN DA HOUSE OF TSC!





Jul 14 2009 3:37 PM

Hi Ben and Olivia!

Hope you both are doing well!? TSC is going strong with summer shows!

I have one in particular that I soooo hope you might be able to play. . . It's Sunday-August 9th with DESTRY! (x-member of Taking Back Sunday-Shaun Cooper and x-member of Straylight Run-Michelle Nolan) They are excellent!

CHAD PERRONE AND THE NARRATIVE HAVE JUST CONFIRMED ALSO!

What do you think? Possibly? ;O)

If that doesn't work out then just tell me when. It would be a shame not to have you play a summer show ;O(

We miss you!

much love,
Linda and TSC gang

Snapped this picture the other day and thought I should post it on here. I love wearing all my Run We Must gear. Great quality--thanks for making cool clothes that last!
