Hilarious

Love that the last post was from over a year ago talking about how it had been 2 years since we had posted.

Anyways, I AM going to try and post a little more on this. I've been up in the twitter for a bit (http://www.twitter.com/shook_ones) and I'll try to spread the love. Myspace is definitely dead and I'm gonna delete that shortly, cause they won't stop emailing us. We have a facebook somewhere, but Kimpossible runs it and I don't really know how it works. She's been doing a great job of keeping it updated, though! AND we have a bandcamp now! Free, somewhat rare song! http://shooks.bandcamp.com

I'm gonna post the few dates for our CA tour and links for tickets shortly. Word.

It's Been A While

So it's 2010... no better time to start documenting all things Shook Ones. Stay tuned for updates on tours, pizza and other useless knowledge.

Leave your whole head empty like a straight pumpkin.

"Country and Alternative"
What a dick.
Love,

p.s. Totally what I'm going for. Humcero.

Real As Penitentiary Steel

I'm pretty sure Bo has been sipping on that I can fuck with him juice. Despite what our bass player/flannel enthusiast claims, my recent absences from the studio have all been excused. Complete with signed notes from my legal guardian, Slo-dee. On the day in question, Mr. Slodysko returned to our residence from class at approximately 10:00AM. He found me face down, mostly on my bed, fully clothed, and with the lights on. Apparently I was guarding a nearby pizza that I had mostly cooked the night before, but likely forgot about before falling asleep in a curiously rapid fashion. If that doesn't scream "sick day" I don't know what does.

Enough about me being down with the sickness. Scotty is currently in the booth with his tacklebox, digging around for the biggest hooks. Hard at work on his Milo costume for Halloween, he is pictured at left with Jenny Lewis. I don't really know who Jenny Lewis is, but something tells me she wouldn't know a tasty jam if it slapped the headband off her.

Speaking of big hooks, former Shook Ones beatdown man/Sinking Ships "Benedict Arnold" Nasty Nathan Huddle prefers them 10/0. He also prefers apple flavored Gerber and Huggies Pull-Ups. That's right, Bellingham's hottest export since Brenthaven is gonna be a proud parent any day now. He will be rounding out the line-up for Greatest Dads on Earth with Andrew "The Package" Pack and Jeremy "Legends" McAlister. Catch them at the Humdinger performing their Raffi-esque take on "Lodi Dodi," guest vox by Little Chris Lombardi. Congradulations to Nate and Lauren, love y'all.

Speaking of matriarchs, let's check in with Granny Shookerson and see how the scrapbookin' is coming:

"The worst burning you've ever felt, swear to christ."

"Oh, I get it. Country AND Alternative..."

"Pandemic!"

"Washboard."

"Jackson played drums and I saw god."

"Eligible."

"Cousin Jeff's best Ween shirt."

Vocal Test

Updates:
More X's on the board.

I had to go home for a couple days to explain in lengthy detail over and over how the "per person/per game" system works, and pretend that I have heard of your "co-worker who used to bowl professionally" or "was a regular at this bowling alley for years".
But I'm back, for tonight at least. Jackson (who I'm pretty sure hasn't slept more than 12 hours since we started) , Scott, and I are in here now doing some more guitar tracks.

Funds was supposed to come in earlier but must've misplaced his phone, had something really important and productive to do, built a Gingerbread house, conducted and/or attended an important business meeting, or gave his elderly neighbor a ride to the local co-op. Surely he didn't just ignore Jackson's calls and sleep in well past the time we have met here every single day since we started recording. Not a chance.

Scott has even done a couple of vocal joints today. Mostly whoa-age. It sounds hot.

Jimmy is back home until The Fest enjoying not flying out here every week, working at Philly's hottest nightclub, and frequenting pumpkin patches. Jealous.
And Kelly is busy shaping the minds of young America tonight.
We have 4 days left in here.
Stuff is sounding great.
Jackson is killing it. As Always.
I'm out!

p.s. Just the worst, most uninteresting choice of photos. Sorry.
