I hope you can pull through
this with a lot of strength. I can't imagine how tough it
is. But i'm sure you'll be fine. Be strong and laugh as much
as you can. As tough as cancer is, it can't kill love, and
great memories. These are the things that make us who we are
anyway, i'm sure your father loves you enough for several
lifetimes, so just think about his strength whenever you
need some help, and you will be awesome. Your pal, Jer

Hi everyone. It's Jeremy here. I'm in an internet
cafe in Amsterdam. It's pissing rain, and kind of chilly,
Although strangely beautiful. We are having the greatest
time. Again I say it feels like a new band, but it really is
wonderful. We laugh all day, and give 1000% every show. I
can truly say we are living for our music. Not that we never
have, but it just feels like all the hard work we put into
this is finally paying off. I hope every one of you that has
come out to see us is feeling this. It feels very nice. Nice
in a heavy motherfucker kind of way. Ahem. I also am here
for a shameless plug for a very great man. My father. His
amazing clay work is going to be on display from November
14th, til december 14th. I really would love it if anyone
would check it out. I assure you it will be worth your
while. I learned how to play drums from this man, and he
give all of himself in every piece. He really has something
fresh to offer here. And if you really like one of them you
can throw down some cash and take it home. It would also
help the Christmas coffers for my folks gift buying. Again,
I assure you, this dude ain't fucking around when it comes
to clay. Thanks for letting me plug Pops. Flood this place
out. It's on Queen street, near Dufferin. The web address
is, www.bracketgallery.com
Thank you everyone. I'll
see you out here on the road! Jer

Hi everyone! Thanks for all your hard work, calling,
requesting and coming out to our shows. It's been our most
exciting tour ever. The crowds have been electric. It's
easier then ever to put on the best show that we can. I find
that it's been a little crazy on this board lately. It's
more difficult to read through these posts than any Ray
Kurzweil work. I can't believe it. I hope you all can see
through the madness and come to some agreement. I just want
to express to you the most important thing to us right now.
We are very happy. Why? Because we LOVE playing together.
That means we can continue with 100 percent confidence in
everything we do. That means we aren't packing it in any
time soon . It means we are the band we want to be. I hope
this makes you happy too. If it doesn't, maybe your hanging
around on the wrong message board. You don't have to be
anything to be here, but you should at least respect what we
are doing right now. 99 percent of the people we meet and
talk to after shows since we started this year feel this
way. It makes us want to play forever. An inspired band = an
equally inspired crowd. Thank you again for what you are
doing for us. We couldn't ask for better. Your friend,
Jeremy

Hey we're rollin
now huh folks! I just want to say we are so psyched about
playing right now. We are better than ever! We're tighter,
and way more confident. We feel ready for anything. a
feeling that is quite new to us.
And The Eminem show is the best record i've heard this year.
I know he says some harsh things. But he is one of the best
lyricists in all music. Andre 3000 and Em rule the hip hop
word (not world). His dressing room was beside us at the
Hfeztival in D.C.
And he gave us quite a preview of the record. Knocked our
socks clean off!
See you all soon.

Hey Folks!
Jer here. We hope you like the new track. We worked very
hard on this record, really hard. It's now ready for you all
to taste. I feel that this record is truly complete. We
racked our brains and found out that sometimes when you let
it be, it just is. This was the hardest and easist record
we've ever made. I learned to let go and guide quietly on
this record. Therefore, the foundation is very simple and
very strong for everything to be bulit on top. I
learned some wonderful things from Bob. He is a very musical
and smart man. He took all of our strongest points and put
them in the spotlight. You can never know if your an
asshole, or the nicest guy in town. Until someone slugs you,
or gives you a hug in a certain way. Bob was that
fist, or those open arms. So we saw what we were and
made a rock record. Because thats what we are. This
album is a close to perfect picture of what we really are.
An honest group of guys making music to make us happy. And
we really are a pretty tough crowd to please. I think we
have something quite special here. I don't know if it will
sell 1000 or 10 million, But I'm happy with the result. This
is a truly successful album either way. I hope you
folks dig it like we do. If not, what can I do? Can I put
your enemy in a headlock?

Well hello! It's snowing like mad here in Vancouver! I can't
deal. My
homies from toronto say it's warm as toast and sunny. what's
the deal
there? It never snows here. I guess it'll be good for
snowboarding. What
are ya gonna good huh kids?
How's my folks up in here? Hope all is well with yourselves.
We're working away like usual here, so far so good. I like
it here in
Vancouver, it's good times. People don't talk much here
though. I tried
talking to a person at a restaurant and they kinda blew me
off. I was just
asking this girl about the nightlife. It wasn't like I was
asking her on a
date! She was downright sour! I talk to people all the time,
and Boy was
she a crabby patty!
Anyhow I asked another person and they were pleasant enough.
I found out
about some clubs, and movies.
Hey! I heard a funny story about Bryan Adams! He wears
cheesy speedo's
when he's on vacation in hot locations. Jebus! Speedo's! I
thought that
they were illegal. Hey guy's check out Jeff Marek's Mojo
magazine show
1:00 pm till 2:30 pm weekdays on Mojo radio am 640 in
Toronto. You can
listen online at
www.mojoradio.com I go on thursdays at 2:15 with wacky
rock and roll stories.
I need some food. So I'm gonna eat. I'll see you folks
later.
Yer Pal,
Jeremy

Hi guys! We're in vancouver doin' stuff. Music stuff. Cool
huh?
Ego is a performance me and my good friend of 17 years, Alex
O'rielly
It's drums, music and humour. Stomp meets SCTV. Sound good?
Is it what
the people want? We will soon see.
We are currently still writing it, so don't expect anything
for a little
while. I know Glog said it would happen in the fall, but
hey;These
things happen.
We;(OLP), are trying to finish our record right now. It's
all we are
doing right now. Very important.
Hope you all are well, Keep talking. Ya'll are so swell!
And what's up with this Jeremy and Duncan show? Is it a hit
with you
folks, or is this a product of a little to much time? I
thought it was
kinda funny I guess. But I'm a real tough room. I like to
laugh a lot, but
it's gotta be a real gut busta! I guess it's because My mug
is in every
picture that it's kinda creepy.
The new Mystikal is pretty good. Not as good as Luda but
pretty cool.
I've been listening to OutKast"s Aquemini again too. That
album is a
classic. The are the modern day Lennon-McCartney, They
change music with
every album that they make. They make me ill. Opening doors
that haven't
been opened in music doesn't happen much anymore if at all.
I also think they should shoot some people into space. I
won't say who,
but some people that are truly annoying, people that have
sneaker marks on
their tongues, that suffer true dillusions, and like to take
pisses on
other peoples backs, while their not looking, should be duct
taped to a
rocket and shot towards the sun. Sent to a truly dark, cold,
lonely place.
Good times.
I'm sorry That sounded quite harsh. I don't even have a true
bone to pick
with anyone (?). That was just an opportunity to have a
little creative
fun. I don't think I would like someone to say that about
me, but I would
really appreciate that level of bitterness. Get Down!
Did you guys know that I was on "The Littlest Hobo" when I
was a
kid?
It was a show about a dog that went from town to town, then
helped people
and then left to move on to help the next guy.
I was also in a car commercial, I helped an old lady across
the street,
then ate a chocolate bar. Like that's what made me do it!
I didn't know I was allergic to chocolate then, so when I
recieved the
Migraine I puked on the director. So that lost me the main
roll, I was
then a kid standing in the background of the commercial.
My uncle shit his pants right at the dinner table at
Christmas once!
While we were eating turkey! He made this slight moaning
sound, Then good
lord above! The smell that engulfed the room was truly
spectacular. Way to
kill the vibe unky!
I'm rambling. I just thought that i'd like to spend some
time with you
kind folks.
I see ya'll around.
Yer pal,
Jer.
PS. Not Jero, That sounds like a candy bar. You know now how
I feel about
chocolate bars.
