The Temptations - “My Girl” The Postal Service - “Such Great Heights” Third Eye Blind - “Semi-Charmed Life” Counting Crows - “Colorblind” Marcy Playground - “Sex And Candy”
If I feel like it on certain nights, I’ll play a cover song - the list above is what I’ll be choosing from.
Oh, no.
Someone just sent me a message alongside their add request on Myspace, and they said “I love your music! You are the new NeverShoutNever!”
This made me laugh, and embarrassed me a bit. I mean, it’s completely fine that this person said this, since their brand new to my music,…but I just wanted to go ahead and get something straight for all of those that currently already...

Where?
This may seem a bit odd, but I’m curious to know where you’re all from. So, if you don’t mind, just let me know your City and State if you live in the US, or if you’re in another country let me know that, too.
I don’t know why, but I’ve always been amazed by knowing that people from different states and countries listen to my music. I mean, I’m just a guy...
Thank you.
Just one of those random moments where I realize how amazed I am by the people that listen to my music. Thank you, to all of you.
Help Out.
My friends over at The Love Alliance are in the finals to win $10,000 at Ideablob.com. If they win, that $10K will go towards printing educational materials as well as breaking ground on a social justice curriculum. They need your help and vote in order to win. Voting ends this Sunday so please take two minutes (and actually it doesn’t even hardly take that long) and go...
Excuse my harsh language...
chadsugg:
but I just found out Proposition 8 was upheld by the California Supreme Court. I don’t really have much to put into this thought other than, FUCK PROPOSITION 8. I can’t believe this shit is still happening in the country I live in. It’s the most hypocritical nonsense I’ve ever witnessed. I mean, really, is it that hard to recognize equal rights?
By the way, I just found a photo of the...

New Music.
I get random inspiration a lot. Yesterday, I found out my birthday this year falls on a Tuesday… for those that don’t know, that’s the usual day of the week new CDs are released by most music artists.
So, I decided that I’m going to release an EP on my birthday this year. I’ve been worried about taking too long to get my next full-length album out (because as of now...

Tour Shirts?
I’m curious, do people still like tour exclusive shirts at shows?… you know, the kind that have a band logo/design along with the dates/cities on the tour?
I mean, I know I’ve always liked those shirts, but I never see any in the indie scene really, so I would love to basically hear directly from all of you if you personally like those shirts?
I’m thinking of making some...
Plans.
Thought I’d give an in-depth heads up for what’s in store with Backseat Goodbye for the coming months.
Right now, this very second, I’m in the middle of giving away my most recent album, Dressed Up Like Dreams, that I released back in Spring/Summer of last year, plus my brand new single I wrote just to keep everyone’s ears busy for a while with some new music from me, for...
Side Note.
I’m a slight bit worried I’m posting too much about my free album. Even though I’ve actually only posted twice a day on my various sites about it (not counting the launch date on Saturday), I don’t want to piss people off that are tired of hearing about it. So, I apologize if it seems like I’m a broken record with all this promo I’m doing myself… but...

“Summer”
In the summer I don’t miss the sun so much And in the summer nights I like to fall in love With the mixtapes made by the kids we met downtown Where the vampires like to bring the Ray Bans back in style
Yeah, in...

Simple Question.

Summer.
I thought I’d give a peek into what my upcoming new single, “Summer”, is all about…
Basically, the title of the song says it all. Since I don’t have plans to release my next new album until later this year I wanted to at least have a new song for you all to bop your heads too while the sun’s shining and you’ve got nothing better to do than have a good...
