Man those pictures tell the tale, this is serious music making.  It looks like you guys are in a studio.  Fantastic.  I love everything about what you guys are up to here at Geirs Cabin by the sea.  Word is spreading far and wide.

I'm just learning of the invasion. I didn't think the British invaded anymore without the blessings of the Americans.

(Translation: I wish I was part of the coalition.)

Two questions:

1) It's been mentioned that you're using Mike's RØDE NT1-A condenser mic. Did you bring anything else with you (instruments, for example) or are you all using Geir's gear?

2) Speaking of "Geir's gear", how do you pronounce your name, Geir? I always assumed it was pronounced either like "Gare" (as in Gary) or "Jare" (as in Jerry), but James pronounces it like "Gear" in the songs and Mike said something about "Guy-ear". Maybe you could post a short mp3 here in which you speak your name?

Inquiring minds want to know.

we all brought our mbrs amd mike brought his mike everything else is geirs. pronounced guy- er. i think i pronounce it correctly in norwegian version of stagefright.

i still call him geer but every time mike and tharek slap me i correct myself, eventually i will get it right.
by the way geir's middle name (which i will never be able to pronounce) translates into english as spear of victory.

Oops! I thought you were singing "god's shoulder". I better fix the lyrics on the jukebox page.

I'm going to embarrass myself the day I meet Tharek, I know how to pronounce it, but since he can't hear me, I pronounce it wrong. Even the voice in my head when I read his name pronounces it wrong.
