Live at Haus Mitt, and a free download

I didn't get one of the coolest things about music until I saw the Smashing Pumpkins live a few years ago. They're my favorite band, and I know every song by heart, but they played a version of this song called "Shame" that I had never heard before. "Shame" is actually one of my least favorite Pumpkins songs, but they totally re-did it sometime in the last decade or so, and it was awesome.

I have a point, I promise! We played the Beer and Pretzels party at Haus Mitt at Stanford the other night. First off, it was awesome--I haven't had that much fun at a show in a really long time. Second, it struck me how much "Can't Let You Go" has changed since we released it on the album.

On the album, it's actually Sarah on the drums, vocals, and guitar, since she recorded it before the band really got off the ground. But last year we took it on with a fresh start and made it even better. Every time we play it, it develops just a little bit more, and it's been really fun.

Check out the latest incarnation by downloading this recording of us playing "Can't Let You Go" live at Haus Mitt the other day. Download here.


Enjoy the song!

"Do It Again" video out now!

In today's world, it's hard to find someone who's even competent at what they do. When you find someone truly talented, appreciate them for what they're worth.

When Sarah first told me that Alex and Kellsey, two Stanford freshmen, were going to produce our new music video for "Do It Again," I was pretty excited--I personally shot and edited our last video ("Birthday Sex") and, while I had a pretty good time doing it, I know it was lacking because I'm just not that good at that sort of thing.

I never could have expected the amazing amount of time and energy they would put into this video, or how good it would turn out.

I'm really stoked to announce that the "Do It Again" video is out now. Check it out! The single is also on iTunes, if you're interested.



If you like it, please give it a thumbs up, post it on your Facebook wall, or whatever to spread the word. Alex and Kellsey really did a great job, and their work deserves all the exposure it can get  :-)


Rock on,

Dean

OH MY GOD

We have a blog!!! This is a VERY good thing because Facebook really doesn't give all of Peter's hilariously offensive quotes justice.
