Sitting above the studio hammering away at my daily to do's I hear through the floor the familiar wailing of one Tony Fredianelli.  That man was made to play.  The way he makes that guitar sing, even through the floor, makes the hair on my arms stand up.  The heart in these songs are undoubtedly on the sleeves of these men.  The tears of their past, the desires of their future.  It's more than blood and sweat down there.  It is truth.  The truth that so many people are too scared to speak about.  Each song breathes life into love, loss, politics, and Stephan has a way of being able to speak it clearly even through KFC and hot cheetos.  There is nothing quite like being able to hear the making of something genius.  But it's down there, and I'm hearing it first.  

The guys are so lucky to have so many remixes from you all to help inspire them.  You all are putting thoughts and ideas into the band's heads more than I ever thought.  You are helping to create this album.  For that, you should be so proud.  Some of you will be shocked at what you see in a live show, because it will be things you've heard before on Indaba... just have to wait and see.
