This show was probably the sweetest show we played this summer since all of our friends came out to play and we had the opportunity to play with all the bands that have members who work at Cornish Pasty Co.

Unearthed live recording of a new jam. Yucca Tap Cornish Pasty Show
Someone captured a live recording of a new song. So I thought I'd throw it up for any of you that want to hear a 64kbps quality of one of the songs off the new album. Judd is playing cello in this one, with London and Jim on keys, Raph on drums, and me just playing around with sounds and stuff.

Trip to Tuscon + Show @ Plush w/ pics of a Burger.
We played down in Tuscon at the Plush. Glow music put a show on and we are really excited to play anywhere in Arizona. So we drove down and played a show with Race you There and Triple Double.
We played several songs from our new album. It was a pretty exciting show. After words we ate at Lindy's right down the corner. I haven't had a burger as ridiculous as this in a long time. Judd and I both had the equivalent of a burger with an egg on it. Their variation is double stacked with tots and its called "Velvet Lightning" I think. Anyways, they run that "If you can eat a 16 pound burger you can have it for free contest" with pictures on the wall of people that have done it. Its worth a try if you have a big appetite.
The show was a great time. We love Tuscon! It was a great break from the heat since we went down during a monsoon storm and had the opportunity to watch a lightning show the whole drive down. Here are more pics of the show.
This show was sweet. The samplers were D'I'd so you could really feel every thing.
We are running through the set tonight and are playing Wednesday night (30 Sep) at Chyro arts on Scottsdale road north of the 202 loop. Hopefully we will see you there!

Weekend beginning. Posture. Jogging to Righteous Ape and Bird.
So it is Saturday now, barely. The clock recently tocked midnight, so I'm in that nocturnal twilight.
For those of you that don't already know, Small Leaks is right in the middle of our studio time. After a fun and exhausting week in the studio laying down the drums we are now taking a week off to play a show and loosen our fingers, (and nerves) a bit.
In the mean time, I'm trying to sit up straight. Since I'm always feeling pretty bad about my posture. I usually end up like the bottom two images to the left. So I decided to buy a bar stool instead of a computer desk for my apartment.
The only problem is that I have rarely noticed that it truly benefits my posture. It's a long battle though, so I guess I'll just keep trying to sit up straight whenever I become consciously aware of it.
In the mean time, I think exercising in general has been something that I've been putting off for too long now.
It's been very easy to say "nah, too busy to run" during the last few months, and with AZ summer heat the way it is, even the evenings can be in the 90's. (Not exactly fun weather to run in.)
Now that the heat let up for a few brief days. I'll be able to kick in a few miles a week again and feel somewhat content with my fitness level.
As for things that I listen to when I'm running, my favorite jogging song would have to be, Righteous Ape and Bird... Download and listen. Throw it on your Mp3 player.
Definitely a gem from my favorite band the Octopus Project.
We'll, we have practice tomorrow and as usual, things are getting caffeinated. So I'll see you all on the flip side.

In a hurry at lunch. Quick post and an update for Small Leaks.
Hello friends, we've got a show on wednesday as some of you know. We are playing at Chyro Arts, one of the local art venues in south Scottsdale. Mimicking Birds is coming back through town since the last time they played with Modest Mouse, so we are putting a show on together as well as our friends What Laura Says. The show will probably be going down about 8ish and tickets are 8ish as well. (probably 10 at the door.) Message anyone of us on our myspace/facebook etc if you'd like to purchase tickets presale and we will throw in what ever cool stuff/arts/crafts that we are working on right now. The show is planning to be pretty much sold out or pretty close. I digress...
We finished the first week of a possible five in the studio. Drums have been laid, and things are overall looking very good. We are all really excited and I think if you ask any of us. We get the chills multiple times a day just thinking about it.
I've been rehearsing the order of the songs in my head and I'm happy with the order we have them in right now. Things can change though, as we hear how they sound once finally recorded.
If you care to see footage of our studio you can check out the youtube footage here,..
And of course, after this show at Chyro, we will be resuming studio full time for the next month solid..
Things are going very well right now, and in case you haven't been outside in the last week, its cooling off a little bit. Summer has scorched its last. For those of you here in Arizona, i'm sure you understand the relief that is.

sitting in the locker room.
before a big game

thats why this ones for chuck
sitting on the bench in the locker room
catch the stench from the hall
gettin ready to play ball
but the stakes are high so he bakes to get higher
he'll sink three's if need be or drop j's til he's on fire
he'll make most his freethrows shooting 86%
never plays from the bench

cuz you reach and he'll teach with his pivot fake pump
he's there at 240 he never backs down
pump pump juke put you on the ground

Coffee plus homework. Up late.
So I decided to create a blog. As some of you may know, I'm starting this off as a way to begin both catalogging my back-dated writing material that has been deemed for public viewing- and simultaneously updating those that may inquire, or simply stumble upon this blog, in regards to our endeavours as Small Leaks Sink Ships.
So, I'll be trying to post as much as possible regarding the collective thoughts of small leaks, and of my thoughts in general about whatever idea might pop into my head at any given time.
And so it begins.
