And welcome to summer!!!! Being in Cali has its very good points: you can't tell summer from winter BUT we feel summer is in the air cuz we're noticing that people no longer have school and now are on myspace all times of day and night. Well we're recording most of this week and next week, adding songs to our "much awaited" album. Over a year in the making... and WHAT A DIFFERENCE a year can make. This album is our journey... something that an incredible amount of thought, rehearsal, intensive labor has been put into to make it sonically appealing and mind sticking. You see, after the album is released, we want comments like: "couldn't get your songs out of my mind last night" or "I whistled your song on the bus today" or "I was running to the beat of Derek's drumming in that song on your album" or... well you get our drift. haha! 
OK: RADIO PROMO TOUR WILL BE ANNOUNCED FRIDAY and WE WILL BE IN A CITY NEAR YOU THIS SUMMER! THAT'S A PROMISE! And our guerilla acoustic weekend shows will be FREE. And you already know: THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE FREE! So there you have it: Our summer radio tour is now being named: THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE FREE TOUR! 
JOKETIME: Two men were out golfing. As one was ready to take his shot, a funeral procession drove by the golf course. The man stopped what he was doing, put down his club, and took off his hat and placed it over his heart. His partner was moved by this and said, "That's the nicest thing I've even seen you do!" The man looked back at him and said, "Well, that's the least I could do after 20 years of marriage..."
Baddumbum!!
We Love You!

 This was part of the morning bulletin yesterday that I didn't get to post. But they are doing a radio tour! Check it out!

One day of recording done 13 more to go! So... we have our peeps ramping up the radio promo tour and laying the land for our summer weekends of free acoustic shows in cities throughout the US for your enjoyment. And although these shows are free, we do ask one thing of you: that you bring a person who has never heard of Push Play to our show. Yep... here's your chance to make new friends. And we were further thinking that you should bring a guy if you're a female fan. Yep, yep, that's our thinking! And why? Well here's your opportunity to ask a guy out... but in a way that doesn't LOOK like you are asking them out. It's more of a "hey, wanna go to this free acoustic thing. There's this band called Push Play and they're really good and really fun and down to earth. Why don't you come down, it's free and is gonna be a blast!" AND BY DOING THAT, you are helping us to increase our fanbase! Now if you're a guy, we want you to take a girl that's never heard of us! And hey, you get off cheap... Lucky you! So what do you say? 

To all you dads out there, we wish you a fannnntabulous day! Time to pull out the barbie(not the doll... the cue... bar be CUE) and let US grill for you!!! Except... we're gonna be on a plane to California.​.​.​again!​ We've wrapped up our 2 days here in Nashville filming our music video and it is time to do what we do best: record music. We are going BACK in the studio for 2 weeks to add the remaining songs to FOUND. Constantly tweaking... you see we want this album to be one of the breakthrough albums of the year. Having been working on the album for well over a year, and all the while growing as musicians, we have amasssed hundreds of songs, all written by us, some with the help of longtime songwriters.​.​.​hey sharing is caring... and other songs we've written totally alone with no guidance at all except for our gut! And when this album lands in stores and on various digital sites, we're hoping you buy it and love it. We do and we are so freaking stoked for you to hear it! So off we go to record with one of the best producers of all time: Matt Squire...once again! 
JOKETIME: Patient: "What are the chances of my recovering doctor?"
Doctor: "One hundred percent. Medical records show that nine out of ten
people die of the disease you have. "Yours is the tenth case I've treated;
the others all died."

Puzzles... remember when you were a kid and your parents wanted to challenge your mind and gave you that thick Barney puzzle with the 4 pieces? At first you were skeptical about piecing it together but then wallahhh!! Proud kid you were... Then you moved onto more complex puzzles: Power Rangers and Doug puzzles and then United States puzzles. Well... we've come to the conclusion that our parents gave us these puzzles to PREPARE us for the PUZZLE OF LIFE! Fitting the fragments of our life is so freaking tough especially when you are determined to find the right fit and conquer the puzzle. Well that's our life, that's your life. Whether it's to make it as an artist, doctor, lawyer, postal worker, priest, teacher, scientist... it's all a puzzle that we have to put together. Nothing is easy... that much we've learned. And if it is easy and plops in your lap well then you are lucky and you won't have the sweat of intense labor behind you to appreciate what you've become. So it is with this we say HARD WORK DOES PAY OFF at some point! BELIEVE IN YOURSELF and it will happen. BELIEVE, BELIEVE, BELIEVE. So we pick up the pieces of the Push Play puzzle and carry them with us to Nashville today to shoot the Midnight Romeo music video. We're determined to fit the pieces together... continue to inch our way to complete the puzzle. We know you are waiting for the big news: it's a puzzle. ANTICIPATION.​.​.​ and BELIEF! Sorry for the delay but it's all about the puzzle... Stay tuned for news...
JOKETIME: An Illinois man left the snow-filled streets of Chicago for a vacation in Florida. His wife was on a business trip and was planning to meet him there the next day.

When he reached his hotel, he decided to send his wife a quick email. Unable to find the scrap of paper on which he had written her email address, he did his best to type it in from memory.

Unfortunately, he missed one letter and his note was directed instead to an elderly preacher's wife, whose husband had passed away only the day before. When the grieving widow checked her email, she took one look at the monitor, let out a piercing scream and fell to the floor in a dead faint. At the sound, her family rushed into the room and saw this note on the screen:

DEAREST WIFE: JUST GOT CHECKED IN. EVERYTHING PREPARED FOR YOUR ARRIVAL TOMORROW.
P.S. SURE IS HOT DOWN HERE.
Baddumbum!
We Love You!

Oh what a night!!! Got to tell you: last night at the Filmore at Irving Plaza we saw some pretty great acts beginning with Days Difference, Company of Thieves and Plain White Tees AND..... drum roll: Check out Company of Thieves.. our new favorite band. Having never heard of them before yesterday, we went in blind and came out WOW! You will be totally impressed by their tunes, their wicked unusualness and just plain vocal beauty! 

JOKETIME: This elderly lady, recently widowed, decides to see if a pet will ease her loneliness and goes to the pet store. She decides against puppies, kitties, etc., and is about to leave the store when she hears a voice saying, "My, do you look lovely this afternoon, madam."

She turns around quickly to see who has spoken, but there is no one. All she sees is a big green parrot, resting on his perch in his cage. "Did you say that?" she asks.

"Why, yes, I did!" he replies. "And may I add that dress is a very nice color for you."

The lady suddenly realizes how nice it would be to not only have a talking parrot, but one that paid such nice compliments. So she pays for him and takes him home. On the way, she says, "You know, I am so proud of you that I believe I'll take you out for dinner! Would you like that?"

The parrot says, "Why yes, that would be delightful. I know a charming place on 7th Street."

So they arrive home and the lady progresses upstairs to her room to change for dinner, bringing the parrot along, of course. When the woman enters the building, the parrot begins complaining, swearing, and even bit her once.

Well, the woman is flabbergasted! She grabs the parrot by the throat, marches down the stairs into the basement, and stuffs the parrot in the freezer. She leaves him there in the freezer for five long minutes before taking him back out. The parrot is very cold.

She says, "Well? Have you learned your lesson? I will not tolerate such language in my house!"

The parrot says, "Okay, okay, I promise it won't happen again. I am deeply sorry."

Within five minutes, he is cursing again and bit her once on the arm and once on the finger.

The lady is absolutely stunned. She rips the parrot out of his cage, goes down the stairs, into the cellar, and, slam, into the freezer. This time, she leaves him in there for fifteen minutes.

When she finally takes him out, the parrot is one step away from death. He is shivering and has light frost on the beak. "I swear it will never ever happen again! I will never insult you again! I promise!" As he thaws, he looks up at the lady and says, "I do have one question though. That turkey in there, what'd he do, attack you?"
Baddumbum!
