"All the farmers in the morning, make us change our clocks..."

Shameless plug time.

Considering the shortage of arts grants out there (especially at the moment) I'm interested to see how things like Kickstarter are going to change the way small arts projects get funded- already, I know a few visual artists who have gotten installations or workshops off the ground because of it. And the band Tallahassee got a chunk of their new record supported by friends and fans. So I'm excited to say that Mr. Orange's band, The Sobriquets have their own new project on Kickstarter now. They're hoping to head to the studio next year, and they're working dudes with no label, so they're raising money dimes and dollars at a time. It's an odd model, but I like the idea of community-funded music. I'm hoping it's a success. I'm proud of these knuckleheads. ♥

ETA: Ugh, cannot get video embedded. Anyway, link and video is here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1940204421/a-new-album-from-the-sobriquets

It's cute, I swear. "I thought about saying um..." ...lol Nick unbelievable.
