Drink more Scotch! Great article about the process and distilleries of fine single malt whiskeys.. including my favorite Laphroaig. Perhaps when I make it back to Scotland I will go on a tour of these fine establishments… I bet that would be the way to see the Scottish country side.

Note: pouring your single malt over ice is quite discouraged – maybe add just a drop of water to bring out the aroma. I would also recommend a fine cigar, but I dont know how the Scots feel about that one.

Thanks for the intro, JQ. I’ll work on the “upstanding” part. Yup, there is a new State Shirt song up there on Songfight… The songwriting challenge this week was Motown! It was pretty insane trying to make a recording sound like it is from 35 years ago, but I stayed up all night listening to the “64 Greatest Motown Hits” on my crappy turntable. So, my song ended up sounding like it was played on a crappy turntable. Dope.

Today we welcome Mr. Ethan Tufts to Rise industries as an upstanding member – while I am sure he will eventually tell you more about himself and his wild lifestyle, let me begin his introduction with this tidbit he recently deposited on Songfight. He is State Shirt, so scroll down and take a clink on that track there. He also gets very red under prolonged exposure to the sun.

My sister sent this to me…its hillarious…

Try this soon, before Google fixes its site!

1) Go to Google.com;

2) type in (but don’t hit return): “weapons of mass destruction”;

3) Hit the “I’m feeling lucky” button, instead of the normal “Google search” button;

4) read what appears to be a normal error message carefully.

Hey Kids,

Sorry I have been out of it for so long. Several things have taken over my life. Here is one of them: Singing candy. No kidding – A candy artist (my wife) made giant 38″ hollow candy spheres. A sound artist then outfitted them with an internal resonance system to make the candy vibrate and emit tone. Singing candy. Check out the video. So candy, of all things, has been ruining our lives, but the results are fantastic.

This is the best logotype I have seen yet, somehow it represents one of my favorite bands. Also it is the symbol for catching the sun as it falls to earth. ++++
