I'm gonna start by saying that yesterday was one of my favorite Manic Bloom days in a long time. First, I finished editing and released our last individual interview video, for "Push Off The Ground". It's been a lot fun filming these videos, and hopefully you've enjoyed watching them as much as we've enjoyed making them. Second, we found out that we were played on the Real World yesterday. Now, being played on any reality show would be awesome to us, but the fact that The Real World was basically the original reality show made it even cooler. Third, we found some art that a fan in Russia made of us. I've been trying to describe how awesome it is, but I haven't figured out how to do it justice, so I'll just let you see for yourself.
Ok, back to the video...This video was probably the most fun to make because...well...we got to slap each other. It's fun. Also, I enjoyed seeing my guitar played with the camera attached to the headstock. We had a version of that shot that actually had me spinning really fast while playing, but it actually makes you a little dizzy to watch, so I didn't include that in the video.
This video talks about what we did during the recording process to destress, which for me is typically reading or watching tv. Post comments and let us know what do you do to destress. Give us ideas for the next time we record.

You guys could use some more cowbell, but other than that it sounds awesome! Good work!
Oh, and Matt - let me know if you want to borrow the ol' Johnson acoustic for some added depth - it's still kickin', and has this raw, unmatched sound that so beautifully cries melodic tears of cheap craftsmanship...
