ok, so, for the benefit of being able to go out in public and not having to field questions about the identity of our new bassist, here's what i know:

deadloss are trying to find a wndow of oppertunity when they will all be in aberdeen simultaneously. when this happens, we'll get four or five bassists along to captain toms for a while, and play some songs with them. hopefully, sometime before that craig will at some point burn them all CDs of deadloss songs to learn.

it looks like it's one of two candidates who'll fill our gaping band hole. but there are a couple of outside bets.

:gringo:

also, deadloss's's's's newest song got a spin at moshulu on friday night. it sounded mighty, even without harmonica.

"Young man, there's no need to feel down.

I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground.

I said, young man, 'cause you're in a new town

There's no need to be unhappy.

Young man, there's a place you can go.

I said, young man, when you're short on your dough.

You can stay there, and I'm sure you will find

Many ways to have a good time.

It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A.
