We'll be playing with some dear old friends and some exciting new ones on May 21st. I think it's safe to say that this show will sell out so buy tickets as soon as they go on sale. If there's a huge response there's a chance for a second show on May 22nd. This is ALL AGES with a bar (with ID, of course)!!! There are a bunch of other shows in the works so please check back often for updates.

There's a new movie about layers of distorted guitars, pitch bending, digital reverb, and gazing at shoes. Fans of the band My Bloody Valentine are already giving it rave reviews, from what I can gather on the internet (I'm such an intrepid journalist...I deserve an Emmy or something). One point of contention with hardcore fans, though is that the newly released poster doesn't accurately

Here's a stupid video of us waiting in the ferry lineup to go to Woodsong on Orcas Island. We missed the 2:30pm ferry so we had to wait another 3 hours. Crappy. So what else are we gonna do but sing pop songs really poorly and watch toddlers dance.

It was a rainy April evening in 2006 and Andwer and I were sitting down to a nice bowl of pho. The bowls were exceptionally nice that day. Rich broth, excessive greens and the noodles were very tender.As I was doing my final dredge of the bowl to pick up any last little bits I may have missed, Andwer declares that he wants to do something crazy. He says to me that he wants to "stick it to the

The title of this post is a half hearted attempt at tying a Spice Girls song into a description of the post. I went to the Spice Girls concert on Sunday night. Beside seeing Tyler Hagan selling programs, the highlight of my night was most definitely.....this:The girls opened up with the obvious Spice Up Your Life and in a surprising move, they closed with Spice Up Your Life redux.

Think Geek has this product called the Gorilla Pod.  I bought it thinking that it was an iPod preloaded with Gorilla mating sound effects to help me get to sleep each night (believe me, it works).  However, on unpacking it from the shipping box, I realized it was just a tripod with a lot of bendiness (yes, that is a word...just trust me on this one). But, I do admit that it works better than that

This is by far the both the best and the worst movie poster I have ever seen in my entire life. On one hand there's the "knight in leather jacket riding a unicorn" depiction of Neil Patrick Harris. On the other, there's the fact that this movie is (and I quote) "Coming Soon" and is not currently out in theatres at the very second that I first witness Neil Patrick Harris as my knight in a

I have made the switch from boxers to briefs. After many years of thinking that boxers were coolI have realized that they are not. The way they rub up against the hairs on your upper thigh, sometimes pinching them as the hairpokes through a seam. The way that they let yourmembers just hang while you walk or run, bouncingaround back and forth like a game of pin ballwith no game over. I wear

of course, im sure you would all like to hear some up-to-date news about the album... problem is i don't have any. apparently andy has rough mixes for the 14 tracks - but before anyone gets excited - these are mostly vocal-less, and don't have much in the way of overdubbing. at some stage (hopefully this week) we can get back on board and keep the momentum up. i guess the main thing right now is

So we had a back to school dance party show on Orcas Island last weekend. We didn't post it because we didn't want border guards to be suspicious. We had a lot of fun....really...probably one of those shows that will go down in our short history as a band....one of those shows where we say "Remember when...." These shows almost always are a result of an amazingly warm and receptive audience.

Okay....Steve...I just felt like posting some pics that didn't resemble big orange blobs. But because your post is so spectacularly monstrous in emotion, sheer stick-to-it-iveness and heartfelt awesomeness, I've pasted it at the bottom of this post.Here's a video of the dance party that Steve-O mentioned in his post. It doesn't look that crazy but believe me when I tell you it was only when the

We've finished tracking phase 1 and are just getting set up at Sapphire Sound now for phase 2. We've got 10 tracks done and are looking to finish the last 4 in the next two days. So that'll be a 14 track album for you when we're over and done with it.Phase 3 starts on Monday at Jon's Buena Vista Audio. We'll be doing vocal overdubs, some double of guitar tracks and any other spacey (kevin)/

Hi boys and girls,We now officially have 8 songs in the can for bed tracks (2 guitars, bass, drums). It's so encouraging to hear that they are sounding great because after being locked in a small basement I think we all lost perspective on the songs as songs not as just a bunch of parts that may sound cool. Things are pretty locked in and we're excited to share it with people when it's done.

Wow....our songs are sounding amazing. Jon's goal is to use every piece of gear at Mushroom studios before we leave there on Tuesday night. I think we're making good progress on that front. The actual tracking is going a little slower than at least I had expected but we're getting momentum and what we have done is feeling really good. Tomorrow, we track what could possibly be "the one" - only

today we loaded in our gear to mushroom studios and then we spent the rest of the night re-skinning and tuning up two drum kits and a whole bunch of snares. we hired tim to drum tech as he has recently worked on the latest shakira album. (he has also worked on the latest hot hot heat album and one of the R.E.M. discs but we were really impressed with the drum tones on "oral fixation.") i think

I just simpsonized myself. I have a feeling that you'll probably be seeing people simpsonizing themselves all over the internet because it seems like it's just one of those things that people latch onto...like facebook.Who's gonna place bets on how fast Steve-o posts something else to take away attention from this inane post?

Hi.Please don't think I'm going to make a habit at posting on this sorry excuse of a blog but there's not really another option in terms of getting the word out there about a few things happening with teamimr (pronounced: TEE-mim-er).We're playing at Woodsong again this year. http://woodsonginc.com/festival/We're also playing in Kelowna but I don't have any details except that it's on Friday

Today I woke up early. I don't really know why it happened but i was up and around pacing in my loft at 7am. So i'm up, and feeling this sense of urgency but i can't quite put my finger on what is making me so worried, but then it dawns on me; Ryan is on a plane bound for France. And then another pang: Steven is in Turkey. It's not that i am feeling alone or jealous that they are on
