here's an interesting tidbit: dan played the TRIANGLE at the end of naked at school, and it only took he and tim i believe 8 takes to get the woodblock/triangle combo down. i have it on video somewhere, i should put it on the site so everyone can see the genius behind get rad...
actually i shouldn't be talking, it took me i think 10 takes to say YAHTZ in "everyday". i was trying out different voices though, so i have a valid excuse. plus dan was tracking me and he kept starting the song at an awkward point so it kept sneaking up on me.
other interesting info: -they actually used a pug for the breathing part in a better friend. come on, have you ever heard a pug breathe?? -we were lucky enough to get animal from the muppets to come in and say his name at the end of home. he has a busy schedule and is always on tour, but he was nice enough to stop in. it only took him one take. beast. -the original tracklist was to feature a cover of tom jones' "its not unusual" but at the last minute dan opted for "you can call me al" -the band was going to record 'sweet 16' for an unprecedented 18th time to put on the album as a secret secret song, but the rock and roll hall of fame called and said that it had already been retired into the hall and they advised against the re-recording.

i've never heard such a dirty mouth on a 13/14 year old girl!! i don't think i knew about the F word when i was that young; kids these days, if they aren't having sex or doing drugs, they are cursing like a sailor on message boards...
now, the middle finger is a completely different story. i was giving my teachers the middle finger as early as first grade. it was completely natural, and at the time seemed like the cool/right thing to do. and how could a first grader get in trouble for that?? exactly.
p.s. YoMom please check your private messages, up at the top of the message board

ok ok i lied, we have plenty of cds left, way more than 28, i just wanted to stir some shit up. no just kidding. to the people who want the hot dog record who live outside the U.S. and canada, if you promise to buy floppy cow's version of it also, then you can order it from the website. but email me at jon@inspection12.com first if you plan to do so, we have to work out the extra shipping costs.

How long before the Hotdog cover becomes non-existent? the hot dog cover will become nonexistant when the ones we pressed are all sold. and considering that there's only about 28 or so left, now would be a good time to buy one if you haven't already, otherwise you'll have to Get Rad Euro style.

Is the cd still going to have the shirtless growling guy on it? no the cd will have a design similar to the front cover. its basically white with some stuff on it and inspection twelve get rad in the same fonts as the cover of the album

kara i'll post a picture of the new cover art when i get home later today, but make sure you are sitting down when you look at it, its very euro looking (i think?), i mean there isn't a picture of big ben on it, but...you know what i mean. its different but cool i guess

if anyone who's in a jax band that reads this and misses the hole of the pigeon as much as we all do, then you can still record there, but its called 5 points recording now and its not at jay's house, but in 5 points. go to www.grainofsalt.com for more info about it

scott, i have no idea what song scott is counting to, but i'm not so sure its from the in recovery sessions, i'm leaning towards step into the fire...because they saved most all of scott's stuff from SITF, and they were actually gonna put in scott vocals on 'a better friend' ('you betrayed me and all my trust') but either the new recording was slower than the old or the old tapes weren't compatible or something like that, so they used that soundclip of him counting instead.

wow all this fuss over me...
i realize that 90% of the time i write anything on this board or on the website i am being sarcastic, i think it keeps everything fun and lighthearted, but i say this with the utmost sincerity:
first BDsnaxCYN, thanks for the nice words?? i don't know who you are but i guess you know who i am.
daniel, the only reason i know what the word pigeonhole means is because i had to learn it in my discrete math class in college, i was not trying to be a 'smart-ass' or 'talk down' to you by offering the vocabulary lesson. in all honesty you would never have gotten a reply from one of the band members, i guess specifically dan since he changed the lyric, thus me answering your question. as i re-read my post answering your question, yes i can see how it might come off as sarcastic or smart-assish but that was not my intention and i apologize if i offended you.
i got nothing but love for the i12 masses.
JON

the pigeonhole line is not a dis to the now defunct hole of the pigeon studio...quick vocab lesson, to pigeonhole means to place something into a specific category, or for the sake of the song, label it

trevor i would say definitely get a medium, there's only youth L in the black hoodies which is basically a small, but a tad smaller, so those are mostly for the 14-18 year old girls that congregate by the thousands at inspection 12 shows. i have a friend who matches your specs pretty much and a medium is perfect on him

ok ok ok i know its not rad that the site is down, we get freaking 3GB of transfer and ithought that would be enough, but apparently its not enough for all the i12 fanatics of the world. the new server has a mind of its own and it just booted us when we went over, no warnings, nothing..i'm gonna get the bw increased though most likely if these shananigans happen again.
i think the new month starts feb 1 (duh) so the site will be back up then if not before.
