Misha and I were looking at our Facebook and Twitter pages this morning. They’re pretty cool, we said to ourselves, but…man. They’d be great if they had a few more fans. Like, really next-level great. Vin Diesel great.

So we figured we’d bribe you into following/fanning us with a totally unreleased and never-before-heard studio MP3 from the Indifferent Cities sessions. (Don’t bother clicking that link, it’s just text we turned blue and underlined.)

Here’s the deal: everyone who befollows/befans us on:


Facebook

and


Twitter

…will be beTweeted/beFaced with four and a half minutes of audio awesomeness come mid-September. (Again, ignore that link, we’re just being jerks.) Everyone who doesn’t, won’t.

Cool? Cool. Let the games begin.

From Wikipedia:

In January 1948, Paul was injured in a near-fatal automobile accident in Oklahoma, which shattered his right arm and elbow. Doctors told Paul that there was no way for them to rebuild his elbow in a way that would let him regain movement, and that his arm would remain permanently in whatever position they placed it in. Paul then instructed the surgeons to set his arm at an angle that would allow him to cradle and pick the guitar. It took him a year and a half to recover.

Like Josiah Wedgwood, it’s hard to exaggerate the depth and breadth of this man’s legacy. Also, what a badass.

Draft dodger

Well, we just wrapped up our first Asian tour. By some accounts, we’ve now played shows in 150 countries. The full, annotated play-by-play can be experienced 24/7 in our Facebook photo hole.

Rat cam on!

If you write enough songs about someone, they will eventually either file a restraining order or invite you to come over.

For those of you currently living in Southeast Asia, Misha and I will be playing a handful of shows in Vietnam this month. Venues run the gamut from tiny urban art space to US embassy to nationally televised sea festival.

We’ll try to remember to bring a camera. :)

(Speaking of which, photos from my last jaunt with Justin Carroll can be seen here. You may or may not be in them.)

Sam & Dave

After several shows and several thousand miles, the Samantha and Dave 2009 World Tour is officially over. Look at the pictures, listen to the songs, then check the tourdates to see if the “Dave” portion is making it to your town anytime soon. (Hint: if you live on the West Coast, he probably is.)
