New Attica! Attica! song and an awesome cause! I am very excited to share the news that I’m included in a double vinyl compilation that benefits H.E.L.L., an organization that gives out bike helmets in an effort to raise awareness about bike safety and protect more noggins. H.E.L.L. is taking strides towards making helmets a standard accessory for everyone.  Like the founders of H.E.L.L., I have also lost a close friend to a head injury.  It’s time that we cyclists acknowledge the risks of biking, stop worrying about our hairdos and put on some damn helmets.You can get the vinyl here, or the digital here.  Considering that you get either a double vinyl LP or a 70-song digital comp AND you get to help out a great charity, the prices are quite reasonable.  You will also be the only person you know who owns a double LP compilation.  Do it.

Hey everyone.  (I say that like I know there’s a legitimate crowd of people listening to me type.  Isn’t that the way the internet works?  We all think that someone is paying attention to everything we do online.  I guess it’ a low-risk assumption.  If you treat the internet like it’s paying attention, and it is, then you’re right, and if it isn’t, then no one noticed that you made such a self-centered assumption.  Win-win.)  Anyways.I’m playing my first Portland show since the summertime!  It will be at Reed College in the Student Union.  3 bucks.  I know a lot of you people (real or imagined) don’t live anywhere near Portland, but hey.  It’s a show.  Gonna be a goodie!

This is a pan flute.  It came in this pan flute-shaped package from Peru.  My friend Rich bought it for me.  It is the first dare I have ever received in the mail.  After he caught me boasting about all the instruments I used on my last song, he decided to buy me one of these as a challenge.  Let this be a lesson to you all: bragging about your accomplishments only results in pan flutes from the mailman.

I got home from the East Coast and was greeted with a package of these most excellent vinyl discs!  If you want to mailorder your copy, you should do so from ShopRadioCast.  If you want to grab one in person, you can do so from one of my shows.  I have the usual Portland shows in the near future, as well as some shows around NY/NJ.  So order your copy or come out to the show to skip the shipping charge! - Aaron

This is ridiculous.  We can all agree on that.  If you want to even try to understand this picture (in which I am jacked, sporting a full head of hair, and getting owned on the mat), go to my Punknews interview with Rob Sullivan, the singer of the now-defunct Ruiner.  We interviewed each other.  Things were said.  Then he sat on me and pulled my head up by the neck.  Good times. - Aaron
