Roid Rage!
Posted by on June 9, 2010
That’s right, watch out Chicago. So I’ve been having throat problems for about 3 weeks now and it’s put the album on hold as I haven’t been able to finish the vocals. So I finally went to the doctor yesterday and they gave me steroids to reduce the inflammation in my vocal chords. But I also expect to get super buff the next 5 days and maybe turn into the incredible hulk and tear this city… (read more)
Who is to Blame for the Oil Spill: You Are!
Posted by on June 8, 2010
Day 50 of the oil spill is approaching and things are still looking very grim for the gulf region. It is evident that this is going to affect the US for years, possibly decades, to come. There is anger amongst the general public, myself included, about the spill, why it happened, and how it was handled. Many are angry at BP, some at Obama, and some don’t know who to direct their anger to. While… (read more)

Madness in the studio
Posted by on May 11, 2010
Dear world, I’m sorry for being a bastard and not keeping up on my bloging responsibilities. But rest assured, I have good reason for it. So it’s been about two weeks since we left Toronto and Chemical Sound studio. I thought I’d give a little recap of what took place. The plan was to track 8 songs in 4 days. Quite a task for any band. Most bands do 1 song per day or sometimes even slower.… (read more)

Healthcare & Recording Prep
Posted by on March 22, 2010
Good Morning Internet, I know…it’s been a while since I’ve blogged about what’s going on. You can give me a virtual lashing across the hands with your digital ruler as punishment. But, here I am…rocking like a hurricane. Before I talk about LiO stuff let me get political on your ass for a moment. Last night congress passed significant healthcare legislation to stop insurance abuse and provide… (read more)
It’s Tuesday Bi-atch…
Posted by on March 9, 2010
Yo, It’s tuesday morning and I’m in bed. I’m going to work on a dance song from here (non liO)…I love technology. It’s pretty awesome that you can make music from anywhere…even you bed. It’s kind of sad because I know this is the highlight of my day. My bob hund mustache sold for $455!!! I’m guessing none of you bought it for me since I didn’t receive any emails about it….or maybe… (read more)

Buy Me a Mustache
Posted by on March 5, 2010
Ok, check it out. I need a generous Love in October fan to buy me a moustache…and not any mustache…a magic one! The synth player from my favorite band Bob Hund, Jonas Jonasson, cut off his gran-daddy of a mustache and is selling on ebay HERE . Somebody please buy it and mail it to me! I’ll be forever grateful and play a private show for you. Jonas made a video about the trimming experience.… (read more)

Cat Pillow
Posted by on February 19, 2010
Good Morning Gals & Gents, Last night we stayed with some friends in Pittsburgh and they have two playful cats. People who know me well know that I’m not really an animal person at all…it’s not that I dislike animals, it’s just that I don’t like them. I don’t want to touch them or cuddle with them. I’d prefer staying on one side of the room and having the animals stay on the other. Of… (read more)
On Tour – Cinci Report
Posted by on February 18, 2010
Ugh…my back, Sleeping on air mattresses sucks^2. But it beats the floor. Last night we played Cinci, OH at the Southgate House. That venue is so cool. It’s an old mansion converted into a really sweet venue with a lot of vibe. The show went good. We played with our friends Enlou who sounded as spacey and dream as ever. It’s good to see them again.Cinci has a crazy amount of snow, maybe 2-3 times… (read more)

Love in October – Scooter Montage
Posted by on February 7, 2010
This past fall LiO was approached to provide music for a scooter video about saving the world by lowering carbon emissions. Given that 50% of the band drives scooters, and we’re all scooter nerds in general, we couldn’t say no to the offer. A video was made and presented at the climate conference in Copenhagen. Unfortunately talks broke down between countries (especially the US and China) so not… (read more)

Ants in my Pants…
Posted by on January 28, 2010
So yesterday I had to change a lightbulb. The ceiling is really high up so I had to step up on a high chair to reach the light. As I descended from the chair I heard a rip in my pants. Turns out that I ripped a hole in my favorite jeans in the lining in the ass region. Dammit! Why do things like this always happen to your favorite pair of jeans. It should have been the crappy ones…dammit. We’re… (read more)
Captain Planet

Greetings People of Earth, I thought I’d see if I could waste five minutes of your time by sharing some random thoughts with you. I’ve biked a lot lately. I gave my car away a few months ago so now I bike everywhere. It’s about a 14-mile round trip to our practice space from where I live, so I’m getting some serious legs. It feels good to exercise though. It’s hard to stay active during… (read more)

Out of the Studio – Early Report
Posted by on January 14, 2010
Yo Yo Hey Hey, “Oh it’s good to be one of us…”, we’ve emerged from the studio bowels with another song below our belts. Actually, it’s not 100% finished, I still need to go back and overdub vocals. But other than that it’s a done deal. We’re going to post a few videos of the ordeal, but I wanted to give you an early report. We tracked Desperate at I.V. Lab studio in Chicago on Tuesday.… (read more)
ugh…it’s THE HIVES!!!
Posted by on January 9, 2010
Well…not really. We’ve been rehearsing and recording our practices all week to work out the minor kinks in Desperate. But you can only play the same song 999 times without loosing your mind. So somebody started playing a Hives riff and before you knew it we were playing “Hate to Say I told you so” learning it on the fly (it took us a few bars to figure it out as you’ll see). We only made… (read more)

The Macbook Saga II: A New Hope
Posted by on January 6, 2010
As you may recall in “The Macbook Saga, Episode I: Revenge of the Julmust” the evil Julmust from planet Krypton came to earth to destroy my macbook by spewing its un-Godly contents all over my keyboard. My macbook used all of its Jedi-powers to defend itself, but they were no match for the Julmust and my mac was brought over to the dark side. I retrieved my surgical tools and rabbits foot and… (read more)
God Dammit

Yesterday was a rough day. Lately I’ve started watching hulu while eating lunch. Having access to your favorite TV shows at all times is pretty sweet. I was finishing off the last of my Swedish Julmust when my clumsy right hand knocked my glass over and I spilled the drink all over my macbook keyboard! Fuck!!! So I lunge for the paper towels and try to dry it off as fast as I can. Apparently I wasn’t… (read more)
What’s going on this week
Posted by on January 4, 2010
My friends, I want to share with you what’s going on in Love in October world this week. We’re preparing to enter the studio next week to track our first song for the new album. The song is called “Desperate” and is a dark Modest Mouse sounding song with a dance chorus that has a killer 70s ABBA bass line. We’ve been playing it live for about 6 months and fine tuning it, so maybe you’ve… (read more)
Taco Bell Drive-Thru Diet….Really?
Posted by on January 3, 2010
OK, so I’ve seen a lot of shenanigans in my day, but Taco Bell has decided to start this decade of with a good one…. the “Taco Bell Drive-Thru Diet”. They are offering a variety of “Fresco” menu items along with their new spokeswoman Christine who supposedly lost 54 pounds on the diet along with making “sensible choices”.How much of that was Fresco and how much was due to “sensible… (read more)
Ugh….my Head…
Posted by on January 1, 2010
The morning after is always the worst….my head is pounding. It was so bloody cold last night I thought my fingers were going to fall off. It must have been about 10 degrees or so, but with the wind chill it felt like sub-zero temps. You think that people would dress warm in weather like this, but as expected there still are the stupid party girls who dress in mini skirts walking down the street… (read more)

Im going to wash this goodness down with some chocolate milk. Its New Years Eve and… (read more)
