There’s been some news in the Foo Fighters camp over the last ten days.  They have played two surprise gigs in the Los Angeles area and they have announced the date for the album release, which is (drum roll please)... April 12, 2011 (oh, no...).  I’ve gottalotta work to do in order to catch up and release our record first.  But I AM making progress, ladies and gentlemen.  Honest to goodness progress.  In fact I finished up another song last night.  Ah, it feels good to check something off the list.  And I do plan on having something for you dear readers on or before that date. 

Now, I don’t live in the Los Angeles area, so there is no way I can make or even attempt to make any of these “surprise” Foo Fighters gigs.  Dave tweets something tantalizing like, “are you guys ready?” and you know something’s coming up.  And then sure enough, way cool gig in a small club somewhere, where you could have seen the Foo Fighters for $20, up close and personal. 

Oh, you couldn’t make it either?  Yeah, too bad.  Blame Dave, not me.  So, I guess we’ll have to settle for the next best thing: YouTube bootleg videos from one of the shows itself that I happened upon.  Yes, these are the new songs from the as yet untitled new album that is coming out on April 12th of this year.  So now you can hate Dave Grohl and love me. 

You’re welcome.
