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.)

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.)

UPDATE: More shows just added – Boston, Burlington, others. Visit our tour page for details!

They’ve been up for a while, but if you haven’t just been randomly clicking around our website, you probably missed them.

Samantha Murphy and I are touring, hard, and you can see exactly where by clicking here. Or you can follow us on Twitter, which we’ve pledged to start using properly.

As part of, like, lent.

You can probably even do both.

Except that our album just came out:

Indifferent Cities, now available in our online store. No mp3 version, yet, but you can grab “Santa Monica” and stream a couple more over at MySpace.

Thanks for waiting.

UPDATE: MP3s now available at CDBaby.com.

UPDATE 2: And now they’re on iTunes! Feel free to leave glowing reviews of us everywhere.

Not sure how much you know about alligator reproduction, but Misha and I know a lot. We’re almost experts at it. Specifically, we know that when a she-alligator is ready to drop, she lays something like 40 eggs at a time. This isn’t because alligators like having a lot of kids; rather, over the course of the last 200 million years, alligators have come to understand that most of their babies will be eaten before they’re old enough to really do anything.

So it is with independent filmmakers, which is why we generally license our music to several films each year and, with all due respect to the auteurs, never expect any of them to make it out of the swamp.

It was therefore a pleasant surprise to hear that Saturday Morning got picked up by Vivendi Entertainment, which is one of the six companies that control pretty much everything in the world.

We have to confess that we haven’t actually seen the film, but according to Amazon.com:

• It stars Joey Piscopo, whose demo reel is second only to that of Sarah Skeeters;
• It has our music in it;
• It’s “fun for both men and women.”

We get behind all of these things. Not to mention, it brings us (and, by extension, you) several degrees of Kevin Bacon closer to Ted Danson. What have you got to lose?
