After the month of mayhem, I've been on semi-vacation out in California, staying with my boyfriend (the briefly aforementioned Rusty). While doing long distance pre-production for US, I've been tourin' around a bit with his absolutely drop-your-drawers incredible band: Django James & the Midnight Squires.

Didn't click on that? Well, click on it here: myspace.com/djangojamesmusic.

No, really. I insist. They are the first legit glam band to happen since the 70s, I feel. And I loves me some glam. Go listen. You shan't regret.
