Press Alert!

Capybara friend Ashley S. sent us a sweet link today to a UK-based music blog called Monkton Versus Plankton. Apparently, little garden gnomes sent them our album and they posted a review.  They highlight a few of our songs (“The Wimp,” “Happiness,” and “Birthday Song”) and say some very nice things:

Most importantly, as much as Capybara seem to take cues from other musicians, they master every sound they make and never sound like pretenders, always like musicians; original, diverse, vibrant. Not that I mean to gush. Take a tour for yourself.

Aw, shucks, guys.  Glad to hear we have some fans over the pond! Make sure to check out the review here and the great blog here!

A few lines. A few stories. A few bits.

Hello, my name is Jared and this is my first blog entry ever.  While I realize that there must be a certain art to blogging, I also realize that my knowledge of it is such that art will never enter into anything I will be writing this evening.  If you are someone whose tastes are very discerning, I suggest you leave.  This could get pretty boring…

Let’s start with the basics you might be wondering about me.

  1. I am sometimes pretty fun, kind of.  But also not, mostly.
  2. I have never blogged before this moment, and it’s probably not going that well.  I think you’re probably realizing that.
  3. I ride around in a tan Martin Van Buren with three other guys.  We have found not one but two VHS tapes deep in his belly waiting patiently since 1996 to be watched.
  4. I sometimes throw apple cores in our back yard for the birds/dogs to eat for a late night snack.  They are always gobbled up by some lucky critter.

By the way, if you’ve been wondering about the wildlife in New Mexico, let me share my knowledge of it with you in hopes that it could come in handy for you when you visit new mexico…

There are no trees.  There are lots of stray dogs.  Sometimes the howling coyotes wake me up at night, and they can smell my realization that if I weren’t inside they’d be chewing on my hammy legs.  That’s essentially everything I’ve learned while I’ve been here, and I’m certain that’s all I’ll ever need to know.  Oh, and there are enormous crows that sound like people imitating what crows sound like.

On another note, we spotted an old leather purse in our yard today.  It’s only kind of creepy because I’m fairly certain it wasn’t there yesterday.  Maybe I’ll refurbish it and sell it,  or keep it and use it.  Point is, I’ve got an awesome leather purse to do whatever I want with.

Oh yeah, I guess I’m doing music and junk too.

’sfun

I do love music every second every day, though.  I hope you do too.
