Winter Wheat. .


Barn Flyz Web-Guy Adam Hewgill has come through with a first mock-up of the website that'll promote and sell the new record. So, someday, you might be able just to head over to a website that doesn't end in .blogspot.com to get your Barn Flyz info. The album still appears to be called "songs for my seaweed girl", and it will be out sometime in late March or early April. Packaging design, a little more recording, some mixing, some mastering, and a big ol' live show will follow. News as it happens. Comics as I post them. Snow as it falls.

Quick news about the real barn flyz, they got their winter wheat planted just before Christmas, and during that time they were making some pretty insane treks to K-town in the night to record. I'd sneak the 24 track down to the basement so we wouldn't wake the kid (the basement is dank, mouse infested, and bosts at 5'5" ceiling), and we'd generally wrap up around 3 am, when they'd get into their 1984 GMC sierra and start the long drive home, getting there just in time to start work. To be honest, I think I kind of burned them out -- their answering machine right now just answers "you've reached 547-28##, if this is Jay, the last take was perfect, leave us alone; otherwise please leave a message".
