Tour, Tool Sheds, and Trying To Be Patient

Has anyone noticed the recent fads in world of beverages? Specifically, Kona-blend coffee? Or pomegranate juice blends? Or blueberry-antioxidant sports drinks? I don’t know how or why they happened, but they just appeared. Another fad that we’ve noticed is the term FML. That came out of nowhere. If you’ve read The Tipping Point, you could probably give us a little insight into these cultural trends and how they developed. Our “friend,” Danny B, could probably tell me-- he stole the book from me months ago before I had the chance to finish it. Send him a “thank you” message for me. Thanks ☺

We just got off of a short tour with our friends at Hyland! If you’ve been following us at all, you’ll know that we’ve been putting together our debut record since our conception, and we haven’t been focusing on the live scene. Touring with another band was a great opportunity to get rolling quickly! Playing day after day really helps work out the kinks. I learned a lot. Apparently chewing gum and singing isn’t a good thing?!

We finished the tour with Hyland’s CD release show at Trocadero’s in Minneapolis. Genuine thanks to everyone who came out! A personal “NO-THANKS-TO-YOU” goes out to the classy character who stole my digital camcorder, along with Tim’s backpack, iPod, and various other things. Other than that tool-shed who tried to ruin the night, many cool faces were there. We’re pumped to have met some of you!



Please check out the bands who shared the stage for the night!

We apologize for not being very active in the blogging sphere as of late. We decided our priority was in making a good record, first and foremost. And until we get a new camera, you probably won’t be seeing any videos either. The good news is that the new music is pretty much done! At this stage, we’re forced to be patient while the tracks are being mixed, and I swear it’s like waiting for Christmas morning. Within a few short weeks, the songs will be available to you online via www.seetheworldmusic.com. If you haven’t done so already, go and purchase our first single, “By A String.” It’s eager to hit your iTunes playlists ☺

Keep in touch, and keep chasing your dreams,

Spring!

Spring is here!  Oh... just kidding.  It's not.  I can't wait for Spring.  |side note| Does anyone know whether it's proper to capitalize the names of seasons or not? |end side note|

Again, I can't wait for spring.  Lots of great things are going to happen.  I'm going to be able to walk outside our cabin without having to worry about falling in our dirt driveway.  I'll be able to drive my car up up and down our rather steep driveway without effort.  I will be much happier!  |side note| My crabbiness rate is directly related to bad weather rate.  Thus, my happiness rate is inversely related to the bad weather rate.  |end side note|

Truth be told, there is only one reason why I want Spring to come...

OUR RECORD WILL BE DONE!! :)

Well, I have to shovel the driveway...

Love, Sam

Studio Footage!

I think Apple makes fantastic products. I have been extremely pleased with my MacBook and iPhone, for instance. GarageBand is a great program, and Logic is AMAZING. With those things said, I want it to be known that I hate iMovie. I can't stand it.

I recently bought a digital camcorder to make movies. I figure it's cool to give friends a glimpse of what life's like for See The World, ya know? If I wasn't so frustrated every time I used iMovie, I imagine I'd have more videos done by now. You could see how Sam goes straight to the kitchen to get food every time he enters a house. You could see how I insist on cleaning in the morning. You could see how I sleep on an air mattress. You could see a lot of things. All of them will have to be delayed, because editing on iMovie is like pulling Lovgren's car out of the ditch with a Smart Car.

We were in the studio on Tuesday. We are running with the recording process, and I have a little footage for you. Check it out. Matt Call and Vinnie Thomas steal the show, but you'll also get a little "ear candy" with one of our new songs, By A String.



Blessings,
Jasper

Happpppyyyyyyyy Saturday!

Hellloooo my friends!

As I sit here on my couch, cleaning out my computer and listening to Paul McCartney records, I randomly decided to blog.  So, I just wanted to ask you a few questions...

A)  What is your favorite new song right now?  Mine is definitely "Love Song" by Taylor Swift.

B)  We are going just as crazy as you may be waiting for this record to be finished.  Of all the games out there, The Waiting Game is not my favorite.  What can we do to keep you girls and guys happy until the record comes out this spring?

C)  What's your favorite restaraunt!?

Please answer in essay form.  Thanks.  :)

Love,

Sam and See The World

Okay, moving on:

It's official-- I'm impatient.

I'm impatient because I CANNOT wait to record the songs for our upcoming EP. Over the last few weeks we've come up with 6 songs that we are so excited for you to hear. We've worked with a drummer and bassist, and things are put together to head to the studio. There's a problem though: studio time is a bit scarce around the Twin Cities this month. So, I guess it's time to write more songs or something? I think I'll try to do that. In a couple weeks, we'll finally get the drums tracked and then we'll move onto keys and guitars. Hopefully you're more patient than I am :)

But yeah, add us on AIM and Twitter! We love staying in touch!

Hey hey! We just uploaded a new home video of Sam burning a...toilet seat? Yep. A toilet seat, amongst other things. Go check it out!

Hey Hey,

So, guess​ what?​?​ We'​re at a coffe​e shop!​ Can you belie​ve it?! 

If you know me at all, I happe​n to write​ bulle​tins from coffe​e shops​ quite​ often​.​ Our probl​em is that the cabin​ where​ we'​re worki​ng on the music​ doesn​'​t have inter​net,​ so we hang out in this great​ littl​e place​ calle​d Coffe​e Talk :) Not total​ly origi​nal,​ but do you have a bette​r sugge​stion​?​?​ (​Comme​nt me your ideas​)​ My idea today​ was "To The Grind​.​" 

Santa​ didn'​t bring​ me much this year,​ so I took it into my own hands​.​ Today​ we purch​ased a pract​ice PA, so we can hear vocal​s and keybo​ards durin​g pract​ice!​!​ We also got a new progr​am calle​d Logic​ which​ is for recor​ding.​ It's Apple​'​s soupe​d-​up versi​on of Garag​e Band essen​tiall​y.​

We'​re makin​g progr​ess on the new music​,​ which​ is excit​ing.​ I can'​t wait for you to hear it!
