this is somewhat galactic heroes related. i (ricky) participated in nation solo album month last month. as you probably guessed from the name, the idea is to write, record and perform a solo album in one month. the album must be at least 29:09 minutes long (mine comes in at exactly 30).
anyway, i thought i'd put it here so anyone interested could download it and give it a listen:

it has been so long since i've updated this site it is emabrassing. seriously. there has been more than one occasion where i thought "hey, i'll update the galactic heroes site" only to go there, see how long it has been since i wrote something and not do it.
the saddest part is that there is not that much to report. ricky is still in oregon, mike is still is boston and taylor and scott are still in south carolina.
i started trying to remember all of the songs that mike and i have recorded together with the thought of posting them. the current list (in wiki form) is here. if you remember something that we forgot (i'm looking at you, aaron) then please add it. i'd like to slowly start adding mp3 downloads to it.
anyway, despite all the rumors you may have heard, we aren't dead. so depedning on your opinion of us that may or may not be good.

magic marker records is doing a showcase at south by southwest this year and we are going to play in full-band version. the show is saturday march 18th at Habana Calle 6.
we (mmr/gh) have never played sxsw so i'm not completely sure how the admission works. i think you might have to have a wristband or badge to get into the showcase. but we (all of the magic marker bands) are also playing a "private party" (which everyone is invited to) on saturday 2-6pm at obsolete inc.
we hope everyone can make it!
