Oh whoa - Mike you all about that Total Recall commentary?

How about when they show that horse at the beginning and Arnold is like "I'm running towards the screeeen!"

Haha.

I'm gonna see if I can't get some of my friends to come out to Exeter (not far from me) to see you @ Shooters! Woo!

Posted a new song - Emperess' Clothes - a rough mix from the album being finished up. In addition to The Phil Aiken Army, this song features John Powhida on "stunt vocals". Also, for you locals (Gent + Janovitz), The Phil Aiken Army is playing Thursday 3/20 at The Lizard Lounge in Cambridge.

Yeah, I know this comment reeks of crass self-promotion and has nothing to do with the Figgs - other than, I heart the Figgs...

Next time you decide to add some new songs on your player, might you please consider adding some selections from Low-Fi at Society High, Palais or more from Banda Macho? Cheers!
