Here it is straight from Sacha Dunable the Blogronaut.
"I have been writing and recording songs with my friends from the band National Sunday Law. We'll announce more details on this as things come together, but we have about 25 minutes of music so far."
It's true. We tracked drums for 5 songs yesterday. Like he said, more details tba.

TV
If you haven't heard of these shows it's time to start up your torrent searches and update your Netflix queue's.
Trailer Park Boys
I heard about this show from The Life and Times when they came through town a while back. It's a Canadian show on Showcase, it's filmed like a documentary which makes the show feel very personal like you're watching home video of Sunnyvale trailer park. The show mainly follows Ricky, Julian, and Bubbles. Three lovable stoned drunk losers who are always plotting the next "big dirty", one final scam that will make them enough cash to retire, buy the trailer park and get rid of trailer park supervisor Jim Leahy. These guys love kitties, Rush, pepperoni, chicken chips, piss jugs, and getting fucked up. Almost every season starts with them getting out of jail and ends with them going back in. One season Julian makes 8 grand selling potato vodka to all the other prisoners and guards. In season 5 the boys steal a ton of hash and hide it right out in the open by rolling it out on their driveway.
Ideal
Alex (who recorded our full length) found this one and passed it along to me. This show is on BBC3 and is still on, season 6 starts in Spring 2010. Much like TPB it's an ensemble cast show that mostly centers around weed. The entire show (with very few exceptions) takes place in Moz's apartment. Moz is a weed dealer and his best friend, and supplier, PC is a cop. With characters named Psycho Paul, Cartoon Head, and Stemroach you can't go wrong.
Breaking Bad
I don't remember how I heard about this show but it's on AMC. Another drug related show but this one is much more of a dark drama than a comedy, although it can be pretty funny at times. Brian Cranston (you may remember him as the dad on Malcolm in the Middle) is fucking amazing. he plays Walter, a 50 year old chemistry teacher who just found out that he has inoperable lung cancer, an unexpected child on the way and nothing to leave his wife and son who has CP. He decides to use his chemistry skills and an ex student to cook and sell crystal meth to make money to pay for his treatments and leave his family. oh yeah, his brother in law is a DEA agent.
Dexter
I think everybody knows about this show by now. Serial Killer stuff is always interesting to me. Each season gets better than the last. Don't waste your time on the books, the show is much better.
South Park
These guys are still making great episodes! I love how topical they are and how there's almost always a rational lesson to be learned. One of my personal favorites and probably the darkest episode is #69 "Scott Tenorman Must Die", not because Radiohead is in it but because of the cannibalism and the pure evil in Cartman. I've never been a fan of the first 3 seasons but I think I'll give them a try again soon because you can watch all that shit for free at southparkstudios.com. gotta love that.
Other shows you might have missed:
- Eastbound and Down
- I'm Alan Partridge
- Lucky Louie
Next on my list:
- The Wire

Corruption
We had every intention of doing our final mix down of the EP yesterday but Pro Tools didn't feel the same. For some unknown reason most of our audio files got corrupted, but have no fear we were smart enough to make a backup, but that was months ago thus all of our mixing progress is gone. Josh is starting new mixes and hopefully it wont take too long to build them back up again.
