Hey Gang,
Between playing with Molly Rankin and trying to write some new tunes we’ve been pretty busy, so here’s a little update on what’s new.
Our debut album “Would you Please” – which can now be bought on iTunes – is getting some amazing press and receiving some extensive radio play across the nation. This week we are at #11 on the national campus radio charts, just behind the roots! check out the full list here: http://www.earshot-online.com/charts/index.cfm

watch?v=BTbJ8idzlFU
other than that, our cd is now online at every possible thing that sells these guys. the official physical release is july 13th, so standby for that ok bye.
We mentioned a while ago that we had shot a video in the attic of our house on Euston street with our friend Gavin Keen with other friends helping out.
The video was shot on an acme 412xb camera and why it took so long to come into fruition is due to the complex nature in which this film is developed. The 412xb actually shoots on 100% complete green film, which is fashioned from birch bark. The technology comes from an old blueprint (that was coincidentally written on a piece of birch bark) constructed by Mi’kmaq. Why it takes so long to develop is due to linguistic coding. The Mi’kmaq drew out the plans in Lnuísimk and so when the film goes to be converted into european standard linear and western time relectivate, it must be “starrated.” That is to say that the film must be laid out in a clearing of the Boreal for
UPDATE: Due to the extreme ignorance illustrated in this blog post, the remainder of the post is being suspended indefinitely. To keep from offending many more people we are going to apologize for bringing the Mi’kmaq into our unnecessarily juvenile and abhorrent blog post that illustrates out immaturity. Here is the video, now tainted with ignorance and potential prejudice:
CLICK FOR VIDEO BECAUSE I DONT KNOW HOW TO MAKE IT JUST BE HERE!
boxer the horse side project called the golden charmers. the songs’ll be posted soon. the content is comprised exclusively of the snakes battle of conscience, hunger, love, lust, and slumber. be back tomorrow to hand them over. for now, let’s enjoy some pictures of famous austrians:
mozart
inglorious basterds
philosophy guy
psycho-logist
anyway, that’s enuff for now but you know we’ll have some golden charmer songs tomorrow…
oh and DON’T FORGET:
Kind of a pointless update today. Going to start off by posting one of the best things the cyberspider has caught in the world wide web thus far:
Note: it isn’t funny that the poor kid got hurt; it’s funny because of the pure frustration and embarrassment that gets channeled into his cry of defeat around the 0:13 marker. Also what is amazing is how cool he walks away from the whole thing, not even acknowledging the guy filming the thing. Its almost as if we didn’t just see what happened, like he did pull off that double kick flip and is wearing a shirt and did not just scream like a wookie.
As for boxer news, we are going to post our album in its entirety someplace soon for streaming. If our webmaster and webcomander cannot get it all together, then we’ll post the thing up on youtube. Maybe we’ll just post it all up on youtube anyways. The album will also be ready to purchase on itunes and maybe even just off of the site for what? like $10?

hey here’s the lyrics to our new song its called SLTS:
“Load up on guns
Bring your friends
It’s fun to lose and to pretend
She’s over-bored and self-assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello
With the lights out, it’s less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto, an albino
A mosquito, my libido
Yeah!
Hey!
Yeah!
I’m worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello
With the lights out, it’s less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto, an albino
A mosquito, my Libido
Yeah!
Hey!
Yeah!
And I forget just why I taste
Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard, it was to find
Oh well, whatever, nevermind
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello
With the lights out, it’s less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto, an albino
A mosquito, my libido
A denial, a denial
A denial, a denial
A denial, a denial
A denial, a denial
A denial! “
to those who survived st patricks day,
its been almost a week since the cd release, but HOLY S**T that was fun huh? all of our friends were there. thanks for that, and especially money in the banana stand, molly rankin, and raccoon bandit. for those who were there, you’re well aware that we did not have the physical cd at the show. well now is a good chance to explain why we didn’t ok??
ok well isaac was forced to read some camus for a class at school. hes writing a autobiography called Snakes Mistakes and the first line was/…. “My father makes ppl feel better physically, my mother makes ppl feel better spiritually, and i make mistakes” (Neily, 1). he’s now on page 4, where he deals with the fear of having a little brother who can beat him up.
ok well that’s not why we didnt get the cd. but anyway, if you got a burnt copy, here’s the tracklisting:
bad apples,
mary meets the pilot,
pot valiant,
sketch me a glove,
romania,
cat burglar,
mind eraser,
peace on earth,
chez boxer,
everythings better in europe,
tiger
ok now that we got that business over with lets talk cucumbers. did you know the only difference between cucumbers and pickles is vinegar? and then if you get pickles, you just add mustard and then you have your mustard pickles.
anyway, we all live together right? so our driveway has been used by our neighbors dog as a litterbox or something, so we’re kinda stuck in the house. going outside is too risky — its too hard to tell what is mud and what isnt. so in the meantime, we’re gonna try to write some songs and stuff and if you wanna get a cd you gotta come to us. if you don’t know where our house is, i’m sorry but you’ll have to wait until someone uploads it on meganova or limewire or something.
oh yeah, we’re playing tomorrow night at hunters with our favorites Milks and Rectangles. they got a new cd too, so listen to it. until next time,

Hey all, it’s been a while – nearly three months, actually. The reason? Well, a certain guitar player deleted his facebook account with important log-in information stored in the inbox and was too embarassed to reactivate the account solely to retrieve an email only to jump cyber-ship again. The only option for us then, was to contact our pal and facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
I sent Z-Burger a txt message just telling him what happened, and after a series of bro salutations, we got down to business. Marky Mark gave me the log-in info for the website, told me about the upcoming movie about his life directed by David Fincher, offered us an internship for facebook.com (which we had to decline solely for tax purposes), and then we just chatted and stuff. ****UPDATE: Zuckerz has just been added to our Modern Wafare network and he sucks, he has a kd ratio of like 1:6).
Moving on, we’ve got our first full length album finished now and it will be coming out locally on March 12th.
Here is a pint size preview of it below
Starting then you can buy it at our house or at our shows. Hopefully it will be posted online sometime after that once we figure out wtf html stands for. We will be putting a track up on myspace shortly too and a video will follow it.
The album is called “would you please” and you can read all about our upcoming cd release – here http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/event.php?eid=337443562337&ref=mf
There’s 11 songs and was produced by our bro Alec O’hanley who proved himself, if nothing else, to be way better than any of us at both Pokemon Snap and Tetris Attack.
Talk soon,
