Why Hello dear little friends?
How are you?

I am ok...tired...sleepy. Need to go exercise sometime soon... yuck. Just wanted to give you guys all a "heads up" on what is going on...a lot of news and info about us for anyone who is interested...or just bored..and also a little question and answer thing to messages we have been getting. (you don't have to read this all...some may already know this all).

Anyways, record is finished!! Done! Finito! (?) And we are all , well, proud of it, and excited. We did the best that we could for the moment, and already Meg is talking about how excited she is for our next (third) album. Ha. Yeah.... Meg's silly.

Anyways, we have decided to call the record, "Here, here, and here." Meg's idea. And Carlo's, Jonathan's, Nick's, and I's nods of approval. Why is it called that? Because we saw it on a sign and thought it was funny. No. Not really. Because it is what someone conveyed through speech a long time ago, about art, and about reflection with art, and Meg read up on it, thought it was beautiful, and wrote about our music through those areas. Your heart. Your mind. Your ears. and than a song was born. Popped out of the belly, and low and behold, Meg called it "here, here, and here." And low and behold, Dia said, "What a perfect album title that would make." And low and behold Meg said , "No that's dumb." And then we went and got coffee and watched a movie. And then a couple hours after Meg said, "Hey! I have the perfect album title! What about , "Here, here , and here?!" And of course...that is how it came to be. Kind of. Except I just might have made the very last part up about how Meg ripped off my ripping off of her song title idea.
Moving on.

When is the record coming out people have asked? (Yes, ahem, we do (all 5) have access to our own myspace, and yes, we do check it every now and then, and yes, we do listen to your questions, however awesome, sweet, or frustrating they might be. (And yes, friends from management also check our myspace, so all of those very...umm.... "school spirit" esq, HELLO EVERYONE" blogs...usually come from them... Haha. But the "I love Batman" blog came from Carlo. Did anyone see that? I did...I saw all the replies and was like, "Who sent that out?" But then I read it, peed my pants, and pardoned Carlo's awesomeness. I know that is not a word. And I know my punctuation is bad right now. I know. I know...
Back to the question.
The answer is... Hmm...I dunno. 
How does that do it for you? 
Yeah, not very neat on my part. Truth is...at first, we wanted to get this record out ASAP. It has been forever since we have put out a record (over 2 years) and we are just as excited as (some of you hopefully) are....about releasing it. (Oh by the way, can only 200 of you buy it? The rest are not allowed...because you see...if over 200 people buy it...than we hardworking bee's will quickly be labeled as "sell outs' which will probably make me want to kick my own head in). So..keep track..only 200. The rest....come to live shows, or just hum something in your head that you think I might write...) Thanks. Sorry If I seem like an absolute deuche lately. I'm in a bad mood for ...personal issues. Don't you just hate it when people say that? Sorry, I tell ya'll a lot, but not everything. 
Anyways, BACK to the question. Sorry. Meg always makes fun of me because she says my mind wanders so much no one can ever get a direct answer of me.
The album will come out as soon as it is ready.
I know you are all like , "yeah, duh!" But.... we want to make sure EVERYTHING is as we want it. Not just, Ok, the music's done, have it out A.S.A.P. Thanks. I am going to vacation in Mexico. No!!! Yes the music is done. But now...I have been working forever, back and forth with the art team about the perfect album cover and lyric booklet, and special "things" we want to give anyone who cares. I am a perfectionist. (I know, I know, I know, that most don't care or ever pick up that stuff, or even get the whole album on i-tunes. It's the single and nothing else. But, I am still toiling for the low percentage of people out there who still listen to an "album" as a whole, in its entirety, including lyrics, art, and music, etc.) I mean, the freaking font has be to be "perfect" for the lyrics. The pictures have to be perfect. Like for example, 5 hours ago, I looked through 20 grueling old family photos for this one photo of my grandpa in a sailor suit. I want it to be in the lyric book next to the song, "One sail." Mostly because it matches perfectly to the song, and secondly, because the song is all about him, and it only seems fair, right? And I had to go through hours of my dad saying, 
Look, this is your great, great grandma, and grandpa in the newspaper! (The Headline was "Oldest married couple in Hyrum, Utah, and in the nation). Not kidding! I guess love can last...a long time....? She looked...real old man.. No botox back then. Thank god. Anyways, found the picture, sent it to the art team, and hopefully the quality will be good enough to make the lyric booklet. (the picture looked like it had gone through a thunder storm). I have been sending pics my dad took when he was a kid.... and stuff like that... it has been looking quite... interesting. 
Anyways, don't worry, the record will be soon, but not too soon. We were hoping for September but that's looking a little too early by only a couple months, only because of what I said...artwork, lyrics, and my crazy anal attitude towards everything.
Anyways, it is coming soon! Meg has spent long hours decorating her guitar pedal board and covers. Haha. Isn't she silly. I have been cooking and taking my little sister's to see "Wall-E". Awesome movie by the way. I cried 3 times. 
We just helped our parents and fam move into a new house about a week ago and already our neighbor is crazy. (It usually takes longer). Our dog when we were leashing him up to go on a walk ran across our neighbors lawn and he came outside and freaked out. "Get off of my property. I will f-ing call the police and you (to my poor little 90 pound korean mom) are a f-ing idiot." Yeah, talk about crazy, than he sprayed "animal poison" around the edges of his lawn yelling the whole time that he would kick our heads in. In which my dad went outside and said, "come over here and try jackass. " And my dad is a pretty silly, "wouldn't hurt a fly" type dude, but for once, I was kind of scared for..uhm.. "Billy Bob," let's call him that... our neighbor. He didn't come over and try. But now when I go jogging, and happen to pass him (he is ALWAYS OUTSIDE pulling weeds or planting things, or checking his mail, I give him a small, meager piece of my mind.. All I do is pretend that I am back in Los Angeles and all the "a$$ hole" side of me comes swinging right back in. (Kind of funny all my...nonchalant cussing huh? Haha. Sorry. My parents might read this! My mom is my biggest fan as she says everyday, and I know a good portion of who listen to us are quite young indeed. 
So...love you all.
Be safe. And here are some summer "chores" for the bored or curious....

Watch the 1967 make of the Graduate and almost die by how good the movie music is.....Go S. & G.
Buy the Graduate soundtrack....again. Go S & G

Listen to anything by Tom Petty..... yummy

Read "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer," and don't give me any of that, "But I'm too old Bull...crap? Mark Twain himself said, "I hope it will not be shunned by men and women, for part of my plan has been to try to pleasantly remind adults of what they once were themselves, and of how they felt and thought and talked, and what queer enterprises they sometimes engaged in. "

(sorry, I had to get the door. Animal services saying a "unanimous" neighbor complained about our dog. Ha. 300$ fee. I told him he threatened to kick my head in, so I was going to fine him. And so the guy took the "fee" back and gave me a "courtesy notice of complaint." What a funny bunch of words together , ay? A "courtesy complaint." Next time, do that... Mom...I would like to complain, in a courteous manner about your awful home cooking!" See how she takes it...?

Anyways,

"House of Mirth." What a classic. Read it. However, someone recently told me, "You don't know what books 'dude's' like... so, dudes... read, uhm, AmericaPhsyco or something like that? I was unaware classic literature did not engage the male species...how sad. 

Watch "The Departed," "Say Anything," and "Breakfast at Tiffany's"

Read, "Breakfast at Tiffany's." 

p.p.s. 
Raul from Texas. Thanks for your message. It was sweet.

Jessica from Philly
I don't have tabs for "Setting Up Sunday." Meg wouldn't write them out either for that song. She said, "The best way to learn, is to teach yourself how to listen." (She didn't say it in a mean or condescending way, and she has said that to me a lot , too). However, for the new record , all her old written piano songs are all written out and may be able to be found in lyric booklet. Yes, Meg reads music better than she does books...not a lot of musicians can do that today. I am learning to now over the summer...but boy oh boy, I keep getting the b and d mixed up on the left and right hand clefts. :( 

p.p.p.s. Some lovely dude sent us some books and movie of Alfred Hitchcock's Rebecca in Korean! And over the move from Parkland to Tampa I lost your address and letter and questions...so sorry about that! I would have written you back....
You asked I think about meg's KNFE Fight sticker on her amp and why it was there...
the reason is... no one knows. Our friend put it on there. Hahah. Other questions were more ...in tune...but I lost them! Sorry! But thank you for the movie! Love it.

Be safe ya'll. Girls on their periods take vitamin B-12 and it makes your stomach hurt not so bad. Boys..not on your periods...... we hate you..but than again, you have to put up with girls on their periods. Hahah.. suckers!
