GASKETS | December 2007

It's been almost two years since we released Loose Change and, despite the band being scattered across the east coast (New York, Massachusetts, Richmond, DC), we've managed to write some new songs during that time. So this week we got together with engineer Al Weatherhead and producer (and drummer) Miguel Urbiztondo to begin tracking for a new album at Richmond's Sound of Music studios.

Brian Jones is a graphic designer working at VSA Partners in Chicago. Chris Brennan is a friend of his from San Francisco.

If you were going to accompany the photo with some sort of short description like some of the previous posts, just say something along the lines of "This photo was taken by Chris Brennan, and inspires Brian daily. or is being promoted by Brian ..."

During our time at CMJ, we sat down with the nice folks over at UncensoredInterview.com for a few hours. They didn't care to ask us about our influences or our songwriting process or any of those other boring 'band interview' questions. Instead, they had us joking around about Doritos commercials, high school, and Rod Stewart. So, if you ever wanted to "hang out" with us, this will give you a pretty good idea of how lame we are, and deter you from that desire. I joke!

That clear shoe is part of Damon Dash's Pro Keds line. My brothers got me a pair for Christmas last year.

From New York Magazine:
By his own admission, Joe Swanberg has achieved as much success as an indie filmmaker could want. Each of the 26-year-old director’s three feature films debuted at the South by Southwest Film Festival, and this summer’s celebration of "mumblecore" indie filmmaking at IFC kicked off with a screening of his latest, Hannah Takes the Stairs. But he figures, all told, less than 100,000 people have seen his festival-circuit films. Compare that to Young American Bodies, the original series he directs for online consumption via Nerve Video. "More people than that had viewed the first episode within a month," he says. "By a lot."
