Alright then. We're two months into the new decade and we've got an update for ya. We've been putting this year together, debating between touring or writing a new record. Since the last release (DOUBLE LIVE DVD/CD release, Rate Of Change LIVE, available for purchase here or at many fine retailers in your area) is just a behbeh at eight months old, we're hittin' the road. We've got some cool shows coming your way and more dates in the works.

The NAMM show this year was as great as ever, if not better than ever. Can't say the same for the tour diary and gallery, unless you are a fart-fan. A fan of farts. And while down in Anaheim, we confiscated the highly sought after Randy Allar vs. TLB 2009 interview, with the clever diversion of a bloomin' onion and Hot Wheels chitchat.

Lastly, a couple of bits from Ms.Young. Hope you enjoy...

We miss "out there" and we're happy, no, no... tickled, to be gearing up for 2010 - The Year We Make Contact. See you.

It's always around this time of year that Ms. Young pulls the same ol' "presents and cake" scam, so we're doing our best to play nicey-nice, lest we get wished out into the cornfield. It's good that you'll come out to the shows, it's REAL good.

Oh, and Happy New Year! Sheesh.

This year may you tolerate fools more gladly, resolve to stop complaining and remember to rise above the little things. It's those little things that'll get ya.
