Well, the day is finally here. This record has been roughly 6 months in the making, and we’ve gone through a lot to try and pull it together. On behalf of the band I want to thank Joe LaRosee for being such a stellar producer and everyone else at Jupiter Studios for making recording as smooth of a process as it could be. Thanks to our friends and family for all the support you’ve given us. We’re very proud of this record and we hope that you enjoy it.

Predictions 2009
My music industry predictions for 2009, hopefully at least one will come true so I don’t get totally embarrassed and feel so STUPID. Gawd. Anyway:
- Cloud-based music services will grow in popularity, and Songbird will rise as a serious contender to iTunes. Subscription services will also rise, hopefully in concert venues as well. However, major labels will fail to innovate and see their margins shrink even more. Apple will also lose the near-monopoly they have on digitized music sales.
- Sub Pop will gain a boost thanks to the popularity of Fleet Foxes, but unfortunately Portland will become even more competitive and maybe even surpass the Seattle music scene. Fuck Portland. Thanks a lot, Greg Nickels.
- Ticketmaster emerges as a competitor to Live Nation, with 360 deals and major artists on board.
- Two majors will merge to become one even shittier company, my guess is EMI and WMG.
- Grizzly Bear will blow up, and the indie/art rock scene in New York and similar bands will steadily gain more mainstream exposure. My band will not.
