Cop This Album!: Well folks, it only took 5 million years but the full-length Blurred Insight album is out! Schapira and I spent all days fixing up the website and set everything up through PayPal so you can now cop this album with one simple click. I actually had a minute to listen to the new album, and in all honesty, it’s fantastic. I’m always the first one to poke fun at BI because of the drama, dilly-dallying, and general inefficiency that we all have become accustomed to and grown to love, but you got to tip your cap to them, they really did a splendid job, and the fact is that it is well worth the wait. They really did a great job in capturing their evolution as not only a group, but as individuals as well. I’ve known Ethan, Chris and Max for a very long time now. In fact, those three kids are not only some of my biggest influences musically, but also some of my closest friends in as well. All the hard work and heart-ache they went through to put this out, even from an outside perspective, it’s very rewarding watching them enjoy this. Not to be an ego-maniac or anything like that, but I’m also rather excited that my mandolin playing is featured on this album. It’s officially my musical debut! “Just keep goin, until you see the light, Once you get there, then take two wrongs and make a right You might, hit traffic around life's intricacies Yo it's sad when you can't see the forest for the trees.”

Buchalter Update: Jon Buchalter took his first step towards celebrity today with a quote of him in the Journal News. Right now Buch works for a homeless shelter in White Plains, (yeah, our heart bleeds), and he took the kids to peep the Fuji balloon. Basically, the Journal News and not to mention Channel 11 ran a story about it and Jon Buchalter was quoted in the article.
