touring, blogging, yelling at self.

so i think the reason i have been relatively absent from this blog (and not responding to emails, if any of the offended are reading this) is that we have just been practicing like crazy and then touring (like crazy?). when i start a tour, i tend to remove myself from all communication for about two weeks; this results in not returning phone calls, not returning emails, shirking any band busniess-related responsibilities that may include any form of email or phone usage, etc. i have not quite figured out why i do this, but over the past 5 or 6 tours the pattern has cemented itself. coincidentally, i am usually happy on tour until about two weeks in, when the loneliness/psychological tour rash starts to set in. is there a relationship here? not sure. looking into it.

woke up this morning feeling a little bit like a shit. looking into that. =)

in the meantime, Danielson has released a free mp3 of "Did I Step On Your Trumpet?" on their myspace page (myspace.com/danielson) and it is an AWESOME song; i can't stop listening to it.
