Jenn	Jun 12 2008 3:56 PM Didn't get to to talk much the other night, but I enjoyed seeing you guys play the other night! Big love. jenn
Objector Snark	Jun 3 2008 9:30 PM Oh hey, megathanx! I was thinking people don't really view these pages, but that's great--you checked my stuff out. I wish I had a little more representation of what my instruments sound like on the Alien Pep Squad tracks, but being acoustic boxes from a much quieter time, they tend to wither in the mix against electric guitars and drumkit. So do you guys get to play the Northshore much? I'd sure like to hear more of that live New Orleans "mathrock" (ugh) sound I heard coming up in the pre-K days of Mermaid Lounge and TwiRoPa and Howlin' Wolf.
