This is a story ’bout the three of us,

Down by the water and the tide is rising

This world is burning and I’m terrified

I need a little more time with you, oh

I just need a little more time with you

I could have, would have, should have, posted this 2 weeks ago. According to the Queen of All Media, “Say is a tune Mayer wrote for the upcoming Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman film The Bucket List, and it’s quite majestic.”

What do you think? I am unimpressed. On a scale of 1-10, I’d give a 6.

MTWY has designed some limited edition business cards and stickers for the holiday season. The business cards come in a whole assortment of different flavors. Shoot us an e-mail if you would like some.

The business cards come in two series. Series A (1st picture) features the custom mtwy/music design. Series B (3rd picture) features some of the select few transcendent photographs we’ve taken throughout our travels across the country. Act quickly because quantities are pretty limited. We probably won’t be releasing any other new items until Summer 2008.

$5 – 5 cards, 3 stickers.
$10 – 10 cards, 6 stickers.
$20 – 20 cards, 6 stickers, personalized mixtape based on your musical tastes.

Mew is from Denmark. They are amazing. Here is a Christmas titled song to get you in the spirit! It’s the most wonderful time of the year.

I’ve been a huge fan of the Architecture in Helsinki album “Fingers Crossed” for a couple years now. In my mind, it is their best work and everything else since then has been an utter, chaotic, disappointment. Hopefully the lads from Australia can get back on track real soon. Nevertheless, a beautiful track off “Fingers Crossed” recently made it into a heavily aired commercial by Sprint (You know, the one with those sweet neon lights). The first time I saw the commercial I was immediately plagued with a severe case of iknowthissongitis. After the sickness lingered for about a week, I finally realized the tune was none other than Souvenirs by AIH. Cherish this song.

With an envelope we’ll enter buildings we might touch

I’ve got souvenirs but yesterday can’t mean too much



Have we missed an opportunity?



Whispers, Chinese leaves a message, leaves a metaphore

For what once was gold and once was rich but now is poor

Atomic roads, nuclear sunrise

They left me all alone

Falling stars exploding on the sea

God, it’s beautiful

The land and the roses slowly disappeared

Why am I so alone?

A wounded angel is smiling at me

God, it’s so beautiful

It is impossible to listen to Jimmy Eat World and not fall in love with them.

Cut it to the left and I rock

This beat is so large and phat my body cannot even comprehend.
