The October Update: JJ got to the bottom of the Clap Your Hands Say Yeah hype. The Astros are in the World Series! Our dancing keyboard player, Jackson, got married. I had a song written about me. Brian and I saw our first South San Gabriel show. We demoed a ton of new songs. The new Silver Jews album was released. Our friend Duke started a music blog. The new My Morning Jacket blew my mind. Halloween is on a Monday. Oh, and we're playing in Philadelphia for the first time.
