Prepare Yourselves

Was in Salina last week. Saw some friends and made some new ones. This weekend, I'm headed to Tulsa for a meeting with my sister and brother-in-law to determine our next international venture. I'll also be taking in a Drillers game and seeing Drive-By Truckers in concert (their last show before opening for Petty.)

Currently, I'm preparing my 2010.5 compilation album. After the 2010 Set List, Dn recommended I do a July release and he will take care of the winter album. There's quite a few songs I'm excited about. Having only 6 months to gather the materials many don't have sentimental value, however there are some pretty catchy tunes and nearly every artist varies from the previous winter album.

Talk to you soon!

Our Nations T.J.

As many of you know (all of you, probably), I went to a wedding in D.C. over the weekend. If you need a recap, visit Dn.

This is T.J.

(Please note that I emailed a fellow traveler to obtain one of the photos to create the animation before Dn posted his .gifs. Not that it matters, just that I'm not a total copycat phony.)

I'm headed to Memphis this weekend to the Beale St. Music Festival. Traveling from Owasso, OK in a Buick with my parents, sister, and brother-in-law. Goals include: getting mom to see Band of Horses on Sunday, dad to see Drive-by Truckers on Saturday, and getting Both to see Flaming Lips on Saturday! Will report back.

Feel free to check out the most eclectic lineup in festival history. (check your volume)

I've also added a song by Freelance Whales, which the jury is still out on it.

For the ladies.

The music I'm giving you is so fresh, lala.com doesn't even have it as a link.
