Sounds LikeHe dreamed that he was going into an empty house with white walls and that he was upset by the burden of being the first human being to enter it. In the dreams he remembered that he had dreamed the same thing the night before and on many nights over the past years and he know that the image would be erased from his memory when he awakened because that recurrent dream had the quality of not being remembered except within the dream itself.

   About Memphis Pencils (BOOKING AUGUST TOUR)
Look! Like Toast and Tolerance:

Decay I'm on My Way:

Keep it simple, Sartre:

"These kids gave a performance that was filled with endearing charms and sweet melodies. Their first EP, Crayon Jewels was hand painted and drawn and given to me to listen to. It’s quite lovely, I think you’ll agree." -E.J. (loudersoft.com)

"Whimsically intellectual.... The fellas could have formed a parade supply company... [but] instead became a psychedelic pop band." -Jennifer Chancellor (Tulsa World)

"The Memphis Pencils are actually from Fayetteville... funny." -Joe Pestilence (goner-records.com)

" ... born in Germany in 1844 and died in 1900. Few thinkers of any age equal [their] influence. In England and in the United States, it was long customary to associate [them] with the Nazis, which is rather like linking St. Francis with the Inquisition in which the order he had founded played a major role. Otherwise, to be sure, the two have little in common. What is unique about [Memphis Pencil's] impact is not that the Nazis, who had no use at all for any of [their] books as a whole, brazenly used them, too, but that within a generation of his death they had profoundly influenced such men as Rilke, Hesse, Thomas Mann, Stefan George, Shaw Gide, and Malraux--indeed the whole climate of German and French literature and thought. The existentialism of Jaspers, Heidegger, and Sartre is only one facet of this multifarious impact."

-Walter Kaufmann (sort of)

I crashed at a venue...by venue i'm referring to my buddies dirty living room that bands played in every night.But,anyway ..when I awoke the next day I found Crayon Jewels lying next to me.Thank god it wasn't something or..... someone else. It was just a little c.d... with some of the prettiest cover art I had ever seen. I placed it in my stereo in the midst of a hungover morn...and I heard a little song called 'Un Dandy Dia'....I loved it,and still love it.I thank you for making what could of been a "Sleep it off." day ,to a "Can't get that beautiful song out of my head." day.

Quotes from Heavy D:

-"I've been down to looney town and danced with Mr. Potato Head while Bugs Bunny and his friends played in the band.
"

-"I used to have a pickle problem.
"

-"I don't want to own another cat but I'll take a baby lion.
"

-"Damn, I should have been an astronaut.
"

-"'Mars Attacks!' kicks serious ass.
"

-"I think learning is fun but sometimes I just wanna go to the bar and sit with the High Life lady and listen to Merle Haggard.
"




-"Kris, if you don't respect the high life, it won't respect you!"

-"I wouldn't be surprised if God was a woman.
"

-"Did I ever tell you that you look like a son of a bitch?"

-"Talkin' to you is like watchin' VH1 Classic only I can't put the shit on mute.
"

-"How come I can't marry Scarlett Johansson? I'm good lookin' right?"

-"Tell me this: how do you not look gay?"





-"Why do I keep a pen in my shirt? Well, because you never know when you need to write down a number or a hit pop song to get away from people like you asking me why I have a pen in my shirt.
"

-"I know what's going on my tombstone. 'This is Bullshit.' If that doesn't get me into heaven, I'm givin' up.
"

-"Heaven is the part of Super Mario Brothers when you enter the secret sky to grab the coins, only there's a bar to

I really enjoy your music. If you guys need help getting shows in Ohio, I could probably set you up with a show in Oxford or Columbus.
