When We Paint Our Masterpiece

Please enjoy "Getting Back Into My Life." The lead-off track from the forthcoming Floor Models album, written by power pop legend Marc Jonson, who also contributes the stunning background vocals. That's some asshole whose name rhymes with Sleeve Nimels on bass and sampled strings, BTW.

Marc says he wrote the song for us, which is quite a compliment; we used to play it live back in the day, and it was an unbelievable thrill to finally record it this year, especially given how unexpectedly gorgeous it turned out. In any event -- thanks, pal.

As for the album, we're in the process of recording one more tune -- one of our own originals -- and we hope to have the album ready for release by the end of the year, although these things always take longer than you plan. I'll keep you posted.

September Updates

My beautiful and brilliant art-director girlfriend has really outdone herself with the cover of our forthcoming album.

And she's working cheap, I'll tell you that for free.

In the meantime, here's a recently completed track from the CD. This was one of the last things our late great 12-string genius Andy Pasternack wrote for the band, although I hadn't heard it until last year.



I should add that we're hoping the album will be ready for release by December, but as you know, these things always take longer than you expect.

I should also add that the Weasels CD project...

...is moving right along as well. More on that as it develops.
