Long time no blog...

Hey guys, it has been a while since i have posted... Sorry about that. I hope that some of you guys still read this thing. The band has been off for a while, which has been very nice for the four of us to recharge and relax over these past several weeks. Hopefully we will have some sort of news about a fifth sooner than later. I recently got a tentative schedule for 08 and it looks like w are going to be busy and play a lot of cool shows. The only thing i can talk about right now is the warped tour, which I am really looking forward to. I feel like the last time we played it was a million years ago, so i am ready to get back to that venue and play some hot and sweaty shows at 12 o clock in the afternoon. We will see whether or not my beard agrees with that. anyways, keep an eye on our website for show postings, and info about a new little drummer boy. Hope to see all of you this year.

peace love and anticipation

New Guitars..

Check out the PRS website (link on sidebar) and have a look at the new models that were revealed at the 08 NAMM in Anaheim, ca... they all look sweet and some of the ones that really sparked my interest were the new big body arch top with a bigsby and the new baritone... tune it low and play it hard, or play some sweet rockabilly low style. good times. anyways, check them out, if you are a fan of the instruments, then you wont be disappointed, and if youre new to them, they will probably leave a good taste in your mouth. alright, thats enough plugging for now. have a good 'un.

peace, love, and new things...

Premier Guitar Magazine

My dad got my wife and i some magazine subscriptions for Christmas this year, and one of the mags i got is called "premier guitar." (ps mag subscriptions are cool gifts to give and get if youre in a pinch for an idea) I got the first issue in the mail today and to my surprise there was PRS on the cover talking about the new Mira (see video of jon foreman and i)... Its a cool article about an even cooler guitar... pick one up and check it out.

peace love and mags

The next generation of RK fans

I assume the person narrating this emailed me the link, and i thought it was funny so i thought i would post. that and i dont have much to talk about right now... unless you would like to hear me talk about cleaning my house and doing laundry... no? i didnt think so. stay tuned though, we are creeping closer to finding "the one" if you know what i mean. his name may even be neo.

enjoy the video, i sure did, its nice to see that OTHER people sit around and arrange our cds in chronological order... i was hoping i wasnt the only one...

peace love and new awesome fans

In case you missed it...

you mean its all free?

if i would have known they had graphic novels at the library, i would have joined up years ago. thats all im going to say about that. im not sure why they had them in the kids section though...

so yesterday i joined the nashville davidson county public library, edmonson branch. it was a good time all around. you can check out 25 books at a time for free. they must hope that all of these people are honest cause a crook could make out big time in a place like this. they also have movies and cds. these items are also free to check out for anyone at anytime. if people knew about this i think that blockbuster would not be as popular as it is right now. did i mention its free? anyways, am going to go back often so that i stay up on my reading of any kind of book that i want. this blog made no sense.

peace love and free books

Thanks!

in just the couple hours i have had this video posted i have gotten a ton of emails saying how much they enjoyed it, so thanks for checking it out. i wasnt aware that anyone still read my blog, but i guess you do. ill do my best to get some more vids up in the next few weeks. glad you liked it. see you soon.

Learning is phun

okay, well i said i was gonna post something that i have been meaning to do for a while, and i get emails quite often asking me to do this sort of thing, so i figured id do a video post on how to play a tune... i started with this one because i think its one of the most requested via email. i hope i didnt confuse more than i helped. alright, enjoy...



peace, love, and videos...

Eyem Stil Hear

'Ello blogateers. Just a post to let you know that I am still alive and kickin it. I have been very busy in the past few weeks, not leaving me too much time to blog. We finished up the year strong, we had a great last show with dave, and it was a lot of fun to be able to send him off on such a good note and a fun time. I have some fun stuff planned for the next week or so in terms of blogging, i hope that you will stick around to see. I dont want to be specific in case i dont get around to it, and then you will call me fire pants. Anyways, i hope you are all having a great new year, i have already broken every single resolution that i made, and it is not even a week into the new year. i kind of feel like crap because of it, i guess i need dave to bet me a thousand dollars and i can pretty much do anything. maybe i will call him tomorrow... anyways, keep an eye out for some fun over here, and i will blog atcha later.

a few pics of daves last show, silly string and all...

Happy new year!

Like him or not, hes got good taste...

CNN LARRY KING LIVE

Brad Pitt Interview/Holiday Concert Number Two

Aired December 21, 2007 - 21:00 ET

KING: During tonight's program, you've heard music from "Let it Snow, Baby, Let in Rain, Dear," a holiday album by the band Reliant K. NPR called it one of the most appealing, fun Christmas disks of the year. Special thanks to the guys at Reliant K and to Bobby Gale (ph) at Capitol Records for letting us use their terrific music.

Thanks to bobby (our publicist) and Larry King for plugging our disc. get it before they become coasters and paperweights for the next 11 months.

peace, love, and Larry King...

Okay, one more game....

Well, i did lose to the mighty Matt Thiessen in his freshman year of fantasy football... My strategy held strong for most of the year, but injuries and his good team kept me out of the finals... I will have one more game against my friend josh white for 3rd or 4th place, this will decide the draft order for next year, supposing i reenlist. The battle of the titans is one of the battle of the lead singers... Matt vs. Mark Stuart, formerly of Audio A fame... I wish them both luck, although i must admit i am pulling for Matt... When i lose, i only want to lose to the best, so good luck buddy.

peace, love, and matts head on my body...
js

And so it begins

Today is quite possibly my last fantasy football game EVER!!!! I squeaked into the playoffs after having led the league for most of the season, but i face a monster with the face of an angel... matt thiessen. My ever so fickle wide outs are all on the injury list, making my chances of survival that much harder. I wish matt the best of luck in his freshman year as a fantasy player, but i remind him of a player called dan marino. early success but NEVER TO RETURN!!!!!! See you on the computer screen.

peace love and crossing every finger i own.

Cover me (like candlebox... wikipedia them, they will change your life)

Ok they probably wont change your life, but they were the first band i ever saw in concert... candlebox and flaming lips edge concert field, orlando florida, 1994... something like that. anyways, i found a cover of give on you tube, and for some reason i really wanted to post it. there are a lot of RK covers on you tube, and i watch most of them when i am bored... does that make me lame? i dont know... i usually come across them searching for live vids of us to see how we sounded a certain night, and get sidetracked by the talent of our fans. anyways, enjoy.

wyoming, alaska... states could care less about me...

In a recent visit to my "google analytics"... I realized that i was only two states away from a phi slamma jamma with complete state visits. If you dont know what analytics is, its a site that you can visit in order to see how many people view your website. Its fun to check out every once in a while. It has a cool feature that tells you how many states have visited, as well as the city, and the number of visits from each one. If you know of anyone in wyoming or alaska, email them and tell them to click on my site, just once.. then i can cross "have someone from every state visit my blog" off of my fake things to accomplish before i turn 27 list. Thanks for your support in achieving my fake dreams.

peace love and obviously scrounging for things to post about...

fan art

I love fan art, its one of my favorite things to get... here is a pic that dianna did in MS paint, i think...


There are a few more weeks before the big christmas day if you havent heard this record, go pick one up.

For the 100th time, weve been elfed.

I think i get an email about once a day with someone who elfs our band. I must say, i am 100 percent flattered that so many people take the time to elf us. if you are not familiar with what I am talking about, you can paste a picture of your face on a crazy dancing elfs body, and email it to your friends to let them know how bored you were at the time. If youre are in fact bored, please watch us dance, as elfs.

Check it

peace love and little green us's

Too hairy, Too Skinny hails RK fan... Unrelated, glass is also half empty.

I have gotten a few emails from fans that are not digging my new friend mister whiskers. As i have said before, i dont think that offends me or anything, but some of the emails i have received have been very "to the point." For those of you who think i look ridiculous, look at bob seger and look at how sweet he looks, then look at me again, i think you will surely change your mind. If that doesnt work... I wasnt born with a beard, and i probably wont die with a beard, so just be patient. I did get an amusing email from a girl that told me i was entirely too skinny... hmm, maybe i should start eating fast food or something, that may help. I will look into that for sure. Thanks for all the emails, even the ones that say i look funny. right now we are enjoying a break before we finish up the year and gear up for christmas. If you didnt hear, RK will be on the majority of warped tour this coming summer. This should be a lot of fun, and i am looking forward to it, and to seeing all of you guys out there. Thats all for now. Go titans.

peace, love, and military grade razors...
