José Díaz & The Niñas - Darling
So I just finished mixing and mastering this song with loads of help from Dad Chadwick. To be released on the probably posthumous Chadwick EP, (thanks dad).
This song is most certainly one of José’s finest, haunting and earnest, with a Sonic Youthy breakdown.
It was nothing short of a pleasure to play with José and have the opportunity to record him. Never in my life have I had a better excuse to wear facepaint and drink a 40.
Soon he’ll be up and moving to Seattle, and I’m sure many will miss him.

Norwegian Arms - Jitterbug
Recorded this new song on a whim, mostly because I’m really really excited to play it on Saturday. If you like it at all tell me or tell someone else. It’ll eventually be available for stealing. It was called litterbug until Jose made me realize that Jitterbug is a million times more appropriate through his misinterpretation of the lyric in the first place.
By the way, you should all come to that.
And if you care, this is what the lyrics look like:
Shut all the blinds, the city’s still burning all diamonds and fire
like a bush in a mine
While the serious boys take the girls to a party
where the business men dance with their wives
There on the floor are twenty young warriors
who speak seven tongues and fix their own bikes
while the businessmen’s wives are tickling their fancies
with fantasies brimming with ghoulish desire
gonna catch you jitterbug
Shuffle in line the gates may be closing
don’t know where they’re going but they’ll certainly try
while the whimsical girls are twisting their curls
for the sleek city boys they’re trying to find
gonna catch you jitterbug
