Sorry I haven’t updated anything here for awhile. For a long time, I’ve been keeping busy working on the new makeorbreakrecords.com. I’m pretty proud of the new site, it’s a lot easier to use than the old site, everything is kinda right at your fingertips, there’s a “radio station” (read: streaming audio), photos, and easier to update news and tour dates sections. It should generally be a website more worth going to than perhaps it was before. ALSO, if you buy a copy of Fellow Project’s 10″, Where’s the Wire?, it now comes with a coupon to download the mp3s, so you don’t have to feel bad about missing the bonus CDs that came with the first copies of the record.. So that’s good, right? Right. Also, I’d like to thank Colin for all his help in the redesign, including coming up with the basic look for the site, guiding me through all the new technology I had to use, and not letting me take too many short-cuts.

I’d also like to point to another site that I’ve worked on recently, indestructiblefilm.com. This is a documentary directed/”starring” Ben Byer, after he was diagnosed with ALS and his life since then. The movie was recently selected for the Montreal Film Festival, which is really fantastic for him. I strongly encourage anyone interested in film, ALS, or just nice people to check out the site, buy a t-shirt or hat, and look for the DVD when it comes out. Should be soon.

Finally, and this is really overdue, I’d like to wish a Happy Three Weeks Old Day to my niece, Hazel. She was born on August First, which should be easy enough for me to remember. Let’s see. 8-1-7. Eight Minus One Equals Seven. My sister’s been really busy, obviously, but she’s still managed to find some time to blog about her experiences, and I’m looking forward to reading about her insights/experiences raising her daughter. She’ll probably not have as much time to meta-parent via blogging as a result of all her actual parenting, but I’ll take whatever I can get. Speaking of Tracy, she should read this. She might not like it, but I’m sure she can relate.

In a final bit of make or break news, I’d like to include here a link to the George Lewis Jr. EPK. George Lewis Jr is the newest member of Make or Break, who has an EP entitled Hold Me coming out this fall. You can stream the album there, if you’re interested. Usually I would only send links to the EPK to music blogs and other critics/magazines, etc., but I figure only my friends see this site, for the most part, and they’ll surely be buying the record as soon as it comes out. Right? Right. So feel free to get a preview.

So that’s all I have. I’ll try to get back in the habit soon.
