Sarbear - 6-4-2008 at 03:59 AM

That would be wonderful.

imarob2 - 6-4-2008 at 01:17 PM

umm... i think they said that they were going to post recordings from the marfa show soon. did i make that up?

neckbeard - 6-9-2008 at 04:55 PM

i was talking to Josh. the drummer.
and he said something like Nico is in Europe and then josh (himself) has been playing jazz shows lately..so...

neckbeard - 6-23-2008 at 08:18 PM

i don't know if you guys care. but i frickin am in LOVE with jade.
and since she deleted her myspace. i talk to her sometimes through eddie's:

a couple days ago:

"""""hey buddy its jade! great idea on the cat stevens song..."if you want to sing out" is one of my all time favorite songs and ive always thought of covering it..perhaps we will edward sharpe it, with some trumpets and viola...who knows? as for home we are about 96 percent done...there are little bitty things to finish and then:booya! the circle will be complete!
i love you too buddy, keep being you because you are the best!
a-dios (=to god!) amigo!
always ever-
jade"""""

Sarbear - 6-24-2008 at 03:23 AM

I felt the same way, I was sad when she deleted her myspace. This is wonderful. I'm so excited for this!

Nice work on the cat stevens song

imarob2 - 6-24-2008 at 06:27 AM

neckbeard's influence has grown strong! how can we use this to our advantage...:)

neckbeard - 6-24-2008 at 07:32 AM

hahahaa.

minimandy14 - 6-24-2008 at 08:02 AM

Ooooohhhh I'm excited. 96% done! That's awesome.

neckbeard - 6-25-2008 at 10:41 AM

JOY IS MY ARMOUR!!

We Been Mixin 40 Day Dream for...40 DAYS!!! (nearly literally)

well today is very surely the LAST day of mixing 40 day dream... what a trek! our first mix of the song was 40 days ago (tho Nicollo and B Unit went on a 3 week trip to Prussia which put miuxing on hiatus) we've fought, sweat, cheered - and mostly laughed at ourselves for being so very demanding of the mix... when we listen to a mix I look out to the trees, the sun thru the window - to compare the song, the mix, to those perfect, magnificent things... when the song is mingling on the same order existence as these things, then the mix will be ready... patience...time is but a single dimension.
love
= e
PS - in the meantime enjoy a song or two we may post that may or may not be on this album, but which we want to share!

I dig it yo

ChristyFisty - 6-25-2008 at 11:41 AM

Joy/Amour is sooo pretty.




And you know, I'm conflicted -

I'm not a fan of the hipster scene...
Should I not adore ES or Ima?

beedun - 6-25-2008 at 01:34 PM

I see the blog and bulletin about the new song but I cannot find the new song. Did they pull it already? If so did anyone get a copy of it? I would like to drown my ears in it.

SKG - 6-25-2008 at 04:00 PM

Looks like they did pull it. That's to bad. I didn't get it. Maybe neckbeard did

JPG - 6-26-2008 at 05:26 AM

Yeah that sucks a lot. Because I listened to it and said to myself AHHH I'll rip it later. NODICE

Delta - 6-26-2008 at 10:00 AM

SKG - 6-26-2008 at 10:39 AM

Neckbeard is the best

neckbeard - 6-26-2008 at 10:46 AM

its tight huh?

and also, andy MARLOW just posted a new song. it's sick!

ChristyFisty - 6-26-2008 at 11:10 AM

Uh, I forget...

What's the 4shared again?
Is this something that I probably d/loaded and couldn't use on account of my technological retardation?

(That's largely rhetorical, that second part.)

SKG - 6-26-2008 at 11:22 AM

It's a web site that we all upload and share love.

ChristyFisty - 6-26-2008 at 11:24 AM

Can I play ??

SKG - 6-26-2008 at 11:26 AM

Yea, i'll u2u you

ChristyFisty - 6-26-2008 at 11:27 AM

Thank you, thank you!

This crummy day is looking up.
Can't someone making breaking up any easier?

SKG - 6-26-2008 at 11:28 AM

I hear you man. Just keep yourself occupied.

ChristyFisty - 6-26-2008 at 11:29 AM

I am, mostly.
Got no choice, I'm trying to MOVE, too.

Thx for the pep. xx

SKG - 6-26-2008 at 11:31 AM

Listen to metallica? Lol. That helps my problems for some reason

ChristyFisty - 6-26-2008 at 12:57 PM

Dooood.
GREAT idea.

I'm sadly devoid of any Metallica... which is all wrong since I came up in the so-called second coming.

But I'm off to hunt for the good stuff now.

SKG - 6-26-2008 at 04:08 PM

It really helps. Lol. It's like angry therapy

Delta - 6-26-2008 at 06:43 PM

elliott smith is great for break us


or beck's sea change

SKG - 6-26-2008 at 08:14 PM

Metallicaaaaaa!

neckbeard - 6-26-2008 at 08:19 PM

talking to josh again.
and he said something like:

not so much recording lately. aloooooooooot of mixing.
big things on the horizon soon!

Sarbear - 6-27-2008 at 03:07 AM

So, I e-mailed Edward Sharpe and said:

I second what Neckbeard said about doing a cover of cat stevens "sing out".

This is his reply:

ha brilliant I love it we'll do it
= e

neckbeard - 6-27-2008 at 06:48 AM

hahahahaha nice.

but just for the record.
Jade picked "if you want to sing out, sing out"
but i brought up cat stevens.

god i love them!!!

ChristyFisty - 6-27-2008 at 07:33 AM

Not E. Sharpe related, but -

Rad flyer, Sara.

imarob2 - 6-27-2008 at 11:57 AM

i love cat stevens. thanks for putting the bug in the ears, you two!

and hang in there christy! :-)

ChristyFisty - 6-27-2008 at 01:32 PM

Thank you, punkin !!

I dunno why stuff we want is so hard for us sometimes.
Sheesh.

Life isn't fun without the struggles..:smilegrin: It's all a learning experience..Break ups are so hard, but you come out of them stronger and with a better idea of what you want and don't want in a relationship!

Thanks, I made it a really long time ago and just never got around to putting it up. :cool:

SKG - 6-28-2008 at 03:47 PM

I still haven't seen the flyer :/

elblueblazer - 6-28-2008 at 11:15 PM

yeah wheres this flyer!!!!i wanna see too

imarob2 - 6-29-2008 at 06:56 AM

isnt it in a myspace bulletin?

neckbeard - 6-30-2008 at 08:02 AM

OH AND

does anyone know what YEAR "LONNIE" was made?

Sarbear - 6-30-2008 at 11:32 AM

The flyer is nothing special, i threw it together just because i was bored one day and it took me a couple weeks but I printed a few out before i ran some errands and put them around. I didn't put out 100, only a hand full so my printer didn't run out of ink.

Neck is on an organization craze!!!


My guess would be 2001,2,3 because that's when Edward Sharpe started and right when it got released most likely.


imarobot.net/disco

check the bottom that helps for more specifics on older songs

neckbeard - 7-1-2008 at 05:39 AM

thanks man

JPG - 7-1-2008 at 06:19 AM

and according to that page were missing:

Dancing in Rain EARLY DEMO
Hot Banana NEW DEMO – 2nd Album
Out Of Tune EARLY DEMO
Oxygen EARLY DEMO
Whatever EARLY DEMO
Step Right Up EARLY DEMO

unless they got renamed and we think its something else

neckbeard - 7-1-2008 at 06:31 AM

i think
Hot Banana = Stick It to the Man

but we need ALL OF THOSE!!!

JPG - 7-1-2008 at 07:05 AM

Whatever = whatever we did last night?

Dancing in the rain = rain down?

Step right up = was a title of a video of alive

SKG - 7-1-2008 at 08:46 AM

They'll pop up someday. :)

i don't think this is true. dancing in rain and whatever have been "known of" for a LONG time. both rain down (take this shower) and whatever we did last night were edward sharpe songs back when the band was just alex. this makes me believe that they were born in his apartment much after the early demo songs.

elblueblazer - 7-2-2008 at 02:15 PM

im there,,,,ill take my camera...

Sarbear - 7-3-2008 at 03:19 AM

yes please

neckbeard - 8-5-2008 at 06:42 AM

YO
i watch that rehearsal video like everyday.
so i ripped the audio to share.

up on the 4shared under eddie.


and i think that "brother of mine" song towards the end is about Heath.

JPG - 8-5-2008 at 07:36 AM

Thank you neckbeard

Sarbear - 8-5-2008 at 08:52 AM

Yes, thank you very much.



Sounds like alex took a hit to the gut with heath passing away.




Sarbear - 8-31-2008 at 05:43 AM

Any idea on when and Eddie cd may make it's way out?

neckbeard - 8-31-2008 at 06:44 AM

nope......

Sarbear - 9-11-2008 at 03:03 PM

I just received a message from Stewart he has said that 3 or 4 songs are finished with mixing, and some stuff still needs to be tracked, but it mostly just needs to be mixed. He thinks Alex is slowly combing over the minutiae of it, but nico and Aaron are trying to light a fire under his butt. So it will be awhile before anything happens.

neckbeard - 9-15-2008 at 07:51 PM

i'm

I dont know what that is from neckbeard....

neckbeard - 9-18-2008 at 06:17 AM

ooohhhhhhh

Sarbear - 9-18-2008 at 07:35 PM

new song?

minimandy14 - 9-19-2008 at 03:16 AM

New album?

Sarbear - 9-19-2008 at 04:51 PM

Some time.


Last I heard there were only a few songs finished and some were still being remixed.

cankersaurous - 9-20-2008 at 12:33 PM

I saw Ed Sharpe the other night (9-17) at Tangier on Los Feliz and Hillhurst.

I didnt find out about it until i got home from work at 730.

AMAZING show!
They played:
desert shore
germs of love
40 days dream
jade
carries on
home
om nashi me
and a few other amazings!

YIPPEE!

Evil was there in spirit!!

Sarbear - 9-20-2008 at 03:59 PM

that must have been breath taking.

neckbeard - 9-21-2008 at 05:17 PM

NICE!

Sarbear - 9-22-2008 at 05:55 PM

I'm putting that on my list of things to do before I'm old.


See Edward Sharpe / Ima Robot

SKG - 10-1-2008 at 05:01 AM

I had a dream that they put up a new song and then they put up sister midnight. I can't remember the name of the new song now. I should start keeping a dream journal to write in as soon as i wake up

minimandy14 - 10-1-2008 at 02:44 PM

I have too many dirty dreams to do that.

Sarbear - 10-1-2008 at 03:43 PM

Dirty Dreams are Great.

minimandy14 - 10-1-2008 at 04:48 PM

They are pretty much the best. Especially when they turn into, what is it, lucid dreams? Where you know you're dreaming so you can do whatever.

SKG - 10-1-2008 at 06:40 PM

I had a dream where... Uhh nevermind ;)

minimandy14 - 10-1-2008 at 08:03 PM

I like to read before I go to sleep so that when i'm sleeping most of the time I have dreams about the characters in my books. Is that weird?

neckbeard - 10-2-2008 at 07:33 AM

that's awesome!
ive done stuff like that too

neckbeard - 10-8-2008 at 12:54 PM

UPLOADING VIDEOS TO THE 4SHARED RIGHT NOW. HIGH QUALITY.

dont know if any of you wanted them or not.

Delta - 10-8-2008 at 04:49 PM

of course neck!

danke schone : D

Sarbear - 10-8-2008 at 06:13 PM

I enjoy when people upload to 4shared because I dont know how to do cool stuff like that. I'm sure I could figure it out given time but...i don't know how now.


Thank you Neckbeard.

neckbeard - 10-10-2008 at 02:06 PM

so. does anyone have any new info on the
ED album?



Sarbear - 10-11-2008 at 01:58 AM

Their getting closer, I have a feeling.

Sarbear - 10-12-2008 at 05:27 AM

They're in the process of final mixing Home.

[Edited on 10-12-2008 by Sarbear]

neckbeard - 10-12-2008 at 06:50 AM

NICE!!!

Sarbear - 10-12-2008 at 05:30 PM

I know the reason to the delays....everybody is busy also not just as a band but as their separate side projects especially Stewart. Any body catch him on Jay Leno the other night? I forgot to tape it and it makes me sad that I missed it.

neckbeard - 10-12-2008 at 06:52 PM

OH DANG! i didnt know he was gonna be on that!

Sarbear - 10-13-2008 at 02:59 PM

Yea, I saw on his "up coming events calender" on his myspace. He's also playing a few shows with some other people soon also

Sarbear - 10-26-2008 at 06:07 AM

"we will have our take-home music ready soon!!"

that's an update from Alex.

neckbeard - 10-26-2008 at 06:40 AM

new video. "Up from Below (Instrumental)"
used to be known as "Slim"

JPG - 10-26-2008 at 06:58 AM

I just put the MP3 version on the 4shared

!!!

Sarbear - 11-2-2008 at 06:43 AM
