Ay. So when you make a public promise that you’ll put out an MP3, it is probably best to check with the people doing your promotion before making that promise. Apparently, there are few ducks that are not in a horizontal line, that is to say, a row, but I hear they will be soon. I am solely to blame for this and you can drop a chorus of “aross, you are a bad man” on my ass.
That being said, I have some other exciting bits:
I’m very excited to announce that Secret Dakota Ring will be playing our first show ever (and the way the schedule looks right now, the last. Just kidding. Kinda. Not really.) exactly three weeks from today in NYC. Here’s the relevant business:
September 24, 2008 @ Rehab
25 Ave. B New York, New York 10009
21+
$3
That’s right, $3! Playing with me will be SDR fixture Travis Harrison, Rocketship Park frontman Josh Kaufman, Higgins songsmith Kevin Fish, and Rails to Russia vocalist Eytan Oren. Should be fun.
Also, I’ll share a few details on the Baggage contest. Here’s how it’ll work: you’ll go to a website and signup with your email address. After you signup you’ll be given your own unique link to a webpage that will have the new SDR song for streaming and download. You can take this URL and put it anywhere on the web, blog posts, message boards, comment threads, etc, and the more people that visit your page and listen to the jam, the more points you’ll accrue. Visitors to your page can also signup for the mailing list and click-through to this website and MySpace page, for which you’ll receive additional points. I’m also going to add a subjective extra-credit portion for most creative uses of your URL. The three contestants with the most points will receive their copy of Do Not Leave Baggage All the Way, as well as a fresh copy of Cantarell a few weeks before it comes out, and perhaps a few other trinkets that will be very nice. That’ll be coming soon, I promise.
Also, I edited the bio and added a few new photos to the photos page.
PS- I have the RNC on in the background and I believe I just heard Mitt Romney bashing east coast elites. Wasn’t he the zillionaire governor of fucking Massachusetts?! Who are these people?

alas, the actual filesize is a lot bigger.

aross, you are a bad man…for playing a show for $3 that I can’t go to.
3. Richard | September 4th, 2008 at 1:55 am
aross, you are a bad man… but I can’t stay mad at you! *hugs*
I’m sure the show will be awesome (don’t forget to come play the UK too!)
4. Rachel | September 4th, 2008 at 4:38 am
Hooray! The harrassment worked!
5. Christine | September 4th, 2008 at 5:24 am
Why I do live in Brazil?
You can include on the prizes a private show, no matter where the winner lives! How about that?
6. Alice | September 4th, 2008 at 9:53 am
Andy, you’re a very bad man. But also a very VERY good man. Next time, play London, k?
And try not to listen too hard to the RNC - it’s a scary, scary world in St Paul right now.
7. Becky | September 4th, 2008 at 10:30 am
aross, you are a bad man…it’s a good thing you posted this because I was about to start cluttering your comments section with lame jokes until you updated this blog.
Nice photos, me likes.
8. Rosa | September 4th, 2008 at 11:35 am
a popularity contest? lol, I’m so NOT going to win this…fuck…aross, you ARE a bad man indeed.
I’ll have to think of a way to go around this…hmmmm…(*pondering evil master plan*)
9. Tracy | September 4th, 2008 at 1:52 pm
So the venue is called “Rehab”? Ha ha! No future tour plans as of yet, eh?
Great photos by the way. I can totally see your underwear in the fence picture! He he. At least it’s not like the Frank’s Red Hot commercial. Although that would be hilarious!
10. meg | September 4th, 2008 at 2:08 pm
lol, Mitt Romney. Yeah. He was our governor. I have no clue how, but he was.
And also, New York is sooo far away. I mean, I’m just in Northampton, but for a car-less college student, it is way too far away.
Good luck with the show anyways, though!
11. Yukie | September 4th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
I give up DNLYBAW CD.
But,I’m lookig forward to your new album.
12. Rosa | September 4th, 2008 at 4:03 pm
Do Not Leave Yukie’s Baggage All [The]Way…is it just me or doesn’t that sounds better?
it does!
13. Rosa | September 4th, 2008 at 4:03 pm
(after reading your bio)
ha! I knew it! “Losing Eyeballs” is a romantic song after all!
Something I noticed… given that you yourself edited the bio, isn’t it kinda weird that you’re speaking of yourself in the third person?
14. Nance | September 4th, 2008 at 5:03 pm
Andy, you’re a BAD-ASS [and I mean that in the bestestest way possible ;D]!
Boo, New York is too far away, but YAY for a SDR show! Hope it goes swimmingly.
I’m probably going to fail miseeeeerably at the contest, but I’ll give it a shot.
And I’ve pretty much decided not to pay attention to the RNC at all. Don’t need my head to explode. Instead, I watch the Daily Show and laugh my troubles away with the insanity of politics and the brilliance of Jon Stewart.
15. Nance | September 4th, 2008 at 5:18 pm
P.S. This was a nice blog to come back to after a really long day of classes.
I think we should all pester you to update more often. We love reading your entries, Andy.
16. Yukie | September 6th, 2008 at 2:38 pm
Rosa, you make me laugh!
I have to say, aross, you are a bad man.
A long time made me forget the title of a CD.

18. Rosa | September 7th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
oh look, Travis plays the bongos in Jamy…how compellingly peculiar…
I just saw the new pics, I says you don’t look bad at all Andy… so I’m taking back what I said earlier and changing it for, “aross, you’re adorable”…actually, I believe the word we use for you is “adorabubble”…you know, like a cross between Love-A-Lot carebear and Blue Bell pony covered with pink cotton candy…adorabubble.
19. Zs NutZ | September 8th, 2008 at 4:32 pm
HIGGINS!
20. Tracy | September 9th, 2008 at 11:53 am
Gee, one of the pics has mysteriously disappeared. I enjoyed that one, too!
21. Krissy | September 13th, 2008 at 3:22 pm
Why does your concert have to be on the same day as my evening Machine Organization lab?
My assembly code’s going to print out “aross, you are a bad man.” Have your concerts on Thursdays. and in Cambridge. I’d say Boston, but Boston’s getting progressively lamer every time I visit.
22. Rebecca | September 15th, 2008 at 6:42 am
I believe you are in need of an update
I’m getting anxious for this contest! Maybe since I can’t go to the concert having fun with the contest might make up for it……..nope. Probably not, but it’ll help
23. Nance | September 15th, 2008 at 3:03 pm
Alright, bucko, time for a new update!
24. Nance | September 15th, 2008 at 3:05 pm
Why does that smiley face look so maniacal? Yikes.
25. Becky | September 16th, 2008 at 6:51 am
I guess it’s time for some lame jokes.
What do you call a cow that has just given birth?
De-calf-inated.
26. fc | September 16th, 2008 at 7:40 am
ANDY! time to update -shakes you like a papercup-
27. Becky | September 17th, 2008 at 7:08 am
Lame joke number two.
A woman walks into a bar.
She asks the bartender for a double entendre.
So he gives it to her.
