The Only Living Boy in New York
Tonight we're off to Liberty City for NYC Popfest. Then we'll be back to play at the North Star in Philly. Exciting times. Updates to come. Stay tuned, folks -- same bat-time, same bat-channel.
Indentions in the Sheets
"Our minds are permeable to forgetfulness; I myself am distorting and losing, through the tragic erosion of the years, the features of Beatriz." -- Jorge Luis Borges
Hello friends. I bring news! First we have some shows to tell you about. We're very excited to be playing NYC Popfest in June alongside so many top notch musical outfits from all over the globe. And it's not just a show, it's a BBQ! We'll be back in Philly immediately afterwards to play at the North Star Bar. As always, head on over to the shows page for details.
We also have a new demo to share with you. It's called Things I Used to Know.

The old wooden swingset where we used to play
the scent of the autumn in eastern PA
the taste of your skin at the end of the day
oh, I hate to see them go
The play of the moon on the skin of the lake
the song of the birds that would nudge us awake
the lay of your hair and the curve of your face
oh, the things I used to know
why can't I keep them here with me?
I see them still like last night's dreams
and what becomes of the memories
when we stop remembering?
Wind in the leaves on the first day of school
the sting of chlorine in the Willowdale pool
they're fading according to time's awful rules
oh, I wish that it weren't so
Save my house and save my room!
save the lake and save the moon!
why can't I keep them here with me?
I see them still like last night's dreams
and what becomes of the memories
when we stop remembering?

Covered!
Hello there. Things have been quiet lately, but expect some new tidbits soon. In the meantime, check out this fantastic piano/vocal rendition of Artichokes and Julia by Felix from Germany.
(Note: our databases show that there are in fact three copies of Steve Goldberg and the Arch Enemies in Germany. Still, big ups to Felix.)

And water rolls on off the round captain's belly
It's been ten years since the release of Neutral Milk Hotel's In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. To honor the occasion, I recorded a cover of Engine, which was the b-side of Holland, 1945. I hope you like it.
