I swear to goodness that I’ll get some of the other guys to post on here soon. Until then, you’ll just have to read about the JOT world through Phil-colored glasses [which ain't all that bad, right?].

Here’s some behind-the-scenes happenings to keep you titillated:

• The band is in talks with another film/television music licensing company to get more JOT-flavored aural goodness in the world… ‘Guiding Light’, here we come!
• Concentration, this summer, will be on writing and recording – Not so much on the gigging and touring (…that almost rhymes). So far, we’ve got songs like “The One In 7/8″, “The Country One”, “The New One”, “The Foo Fighters One”, “Phil’s One In Eb”, “The Other Country One”, “The One In B” and “The One That Goes Like [insert singing here]“. Mind you: These descriptions are simply how we identify the new tunes to one another – Not necessarily what they’ll end up sounding like.
  
• We’re challenging ourselves and each other musically and thematically – Bryan is really stretching out on guitar, Stephen and Eric are working very closely to develop airtight grooves and I’m learning to sit back a bit and let the other guys take the spotlight [*wink*]. I’m also making it my personal mission to make the electric piano cool again.
  
• The plan is to release an EP of four to six songs this summer to digital outlets and finish more songs to round out an album by the end of the year… We’ll see if we can pull that off.
• We’re holding off on releasing some new photos taken with the awe-inducing Erik Thureson. Just trust me when I tell you that they’re pretty effing amazing.
• We’re also waiting on some new media that we’d like to share with you – Some new, live studio recordings done for Brave New Radio and, perhaps, some footage from our trip to Spartanburg, SC last month.

All of this and a few other things that we’re going to keep under wraps for now… Until then…
