36. hello my name is...

...ar
sean is making me introduce myself
I am the guest blogger tonight
and the guest star in his life
and greg's
and steve's
and yours
you are so lucky!

we have been writing this song and it finally came together after like 10 hours of nothing... it's a booty shaker

it feels like we're running in circles woah woah woah woah woah woah

be so thankful that you can't smell this room!
unless you are one of those kinky, freaky types...
whatever floats your boat, right?
this conversation is sort of one-sided.  I ought not propose questions that are begging to remain unanswered in this moment.  by the time you respond,  I will consider the point moot, and your thoughts will be rendered completely irrelevant, long before they even leave your mind.  I have all of the upper hand in this relationship we have going here.  If I were you, I'd somehow manipulate a little leverage to work with, so that you could stand a chance against me.  Because as of now, you stand no chance.  I've already defeated you. 

they'll never let me blog here again

35. Short and Sweet

We don't really have much to say tonight. Today was boring and uneventful. The only thing that is worth mentioning is our new radio promotion team. Anyone who is interested in taking part in helping us get radio play early next year should go to this myspace address:  www.myspace.com/maradiosupportteam  They will be helping us out when "These are the nights" hits radio in early 2008. So be sure to add them. I'm tired. Off to bed. Talk to you tomorrow.

34. The Unicorn

i'm going to bed early tonight... no eggs, no cheese, just sleep. actually i'm going to read a bit first because i'm not tired just yet. there's 5 opened books at the side of my bed that i started and haven't finished. that's kind of like the way i write songs. i've got so many unfinished songs waiting to be tied up, and i just keep starting others... and then i finish bits and pieces of the old ones until they're done. it's an interesting process.

anyway there's a new shirt in our store and it's effing bright! it's not in stock until tomorrow or something, but there's a holiday special going on where you get the new shirt and the CD for 15 bills... click the picture to check it out. that's all for now. night night!! -sean

33. i <3 kate beckinsale

...but she's married and i'm angry, so i'm writing a song about it.

speaking of which... steve wrote a pretty verse on piano today and i sang a fun melody over it... the tempo happened to be similar to the likes of a chorus we've had for a while. it was a match made in heaven. i love when that happens... it's usually how our best songs come to be. two creatures from two different worlds coming together to form 1 beautiful song. well at least that's what i hope you'll think.

november has been lame so far... we wanna get into the studio and see some action... today i got out of bed at 6pm, went to the gym, played a little piano, and now i'm here blogging at 7am. i dont even know what the hell happened today? was there even a today? am i delirious cuz i dont see sunlight? anyway... we'll do some live broadcasts when we're in the studio in december... but for now we're going to stay lame and you're gonna pretend to like it.

go eat some quinoa, it's good for you!

32. grilled cheese sandwiches

tonight was crazy. we never expected so many people to check out our webchat. at one point we had 700 users in the chat room and over 5,000 users viewing the webcam. we'll definitely have to make some changes though. the quality will be improved and we'll try to slow down the chat room so its easier to hear everyone out! also we'll test some music in it this week so we can rock an acoustic song or two next Sunday.

so i bought a new stapler today. i also got an assortment of neon staples to go with it. the everyday low price from wal-mart came to $13.11 including the 7.375% ny sales tax. kind of expensive but if you saw this stapler you'd understand. tomorrow i have physical therapy for my shoulder. i think i screwed it up when i was a wrestler jock in high school. oh well, PT is fun... you just lay there and get massaged. life could be worse.

ok im out this

31. house of loud studio

today we went to jersey to "house of loud" studio to take a little tour and converse with mr. bendeth. this will soon be our stomping ground for a few days while we record "these are the nights." the place was a fricken labyrinth, and i think greg is gonna be able to find some fun things to do while we're all hard at work ;). we listened to some sick paramore, red jumpsuit, and breaking benjamin beats to try and figure out what kind of sounds we're going for in the instrumentation. we need a sick nasty drummer to play on the track, a couple of symphony string players, and a grand piano which rests at a neighboring studio. it's going to be a nice little journey but the finish looks bright. i have to wake up bright and early (1pm) for the giants game, which means i could be passed out for this live chat steve and greg have planned out. if you have any questions just wake me up and i will come down and answer them for you!

30. bend it!

hellooo sweetums. it's 3am... i'm on my way to bed (early for me i know)... but we're all VERY excited to meet David Bendeth in 12 hours. He's producing our newly recorded version of "These are the Nights" which will hit radio in early '08. He's only an hour away from us and he's done so many amazing things... we're psyched.

i'm thinking about holding some sort of contest or drawing in celebration of the song being rereleased where we...

1. take apart my old, out-of-tune piano that we wrote the song with...

2. give away the 88 keys signed by us!!! how fun!!! (this has video blog written all over it)

that means 88 winners... but you have to buy the single to be in the drawing. we'll figure out all the details soon. bed time for me.

laaaaaaaaater,
sean
