We've got it!
I'm going to look into zippo's too I think; they'll be expensive I reckon. Maybe down the line then (and don't worry lefties; I would make sure there were left handed ones too... ask Rion...)
So merch ideas! What could there be? I'm sure that some of you have an idea or four, so let us know for God's sake!
Futtering about on my beautiful 12 string today (thanks again Conzo), and decided to try different tunings. It's a bit of a bastard, but I ended up with some nice sounds. Sounded a bit singer song writer(y?) so I don't think it'd be HCTLG material; but I've been listening quite a bit to Bon Iver and Nick Drake.... All finger picking detuned stuff, again a bastard on a 12 string, but good when it works.
I promised a pic of our guitars for any guitar geeks out there; but you'll have to wait until they're all in a room at the same time. Off the top of my head, there are about 8 between us! Too much? NEVER!
Just one more thing... If you read these blogs, but haven't looked at our website, and downloaded our FREE song; then you're a bunch of berts!
If you no longer want to be regarded as a complete bert, and feel your human rights have been affected by being referred to as a complete bert; remember this... Bert's don't have human rights, so stop being really really bert and go to www.herecomesthelandedgentry.com, and download the free single.
If you do, I want pictures of people emailed to us holding a sign saying, 'I am not a bert anymore' (unless your name is bert, which in that case... Sorry to say that irrespective of downloading the song or not, you'll always technically be a Bert, and have no human rights, but a sign saying 'I am Bert, but have the songs' will give us a laugh)
There you have it... In simple terms: Reading this? Don't have Lightness & Weight or/and Rockabilly Boogie?
You are a Bert.
(And Keith... I want a picture, because I've got a wile feeling you're a bert)
G'bye!

question,,can girls be Berts too? I have a strong feeling that I qualify.I have tried to download both songs and am unable to do it.I got in on my comp but when I tried to sync it to my ipod all my songs were erased, thank you sweet baby Jesus for backup!So it would seem I will forever be residing in Burtonsville (real town in Maryland. I hope I am not too much of a disappointment :-(
ReplyDeleteas far as merch, hmm, SOCKS!!! I don't usually do bumper stickers (only have a window one for William & Mary)but if you had one that was an oval with a black or red background with the opposite color feather then underneath that, HCTLG in the same color that the feather is, it would look great. Oh no I'm not toooo picky, LOL.

ReplyDeletedamn...good thing I'm a heartless bitch or my feeling may have been hurt..I should check to see if the lovely town of Burtonsville sells shirts with the town name on it, and send y'all some. Then it will be official. You can fight over who will be the Mayor of Burtonsville
