3. Check out our new video for “Beauty”, the first track on our new album. It is absurd, creepy, and fun for the kids. Well, maybe. DO they like it when Daddy wheres Mommy things? Ok, then let’em watch it here http://www.myspace.com/31knots

4. This maybe the most important aspect to this note. We all need to help Jay W. achieve a higher level of fluency in the Spanish language. Why? Because learning never stops, you knuckle-dragger!! So, if you know Spanish send him some Goddamn conversations, via mp3’s or the written word. He’s like a 3rd grader in both. Let’s get him into puberty at least.
