WIRED MAGAZINE is now using “Update Your Blog” for the theme song of their new video blog! It features the internet humorist Lore Sjoberg, who has some hilarious things to say about the Zelda games in this first installment. Absorb it:

In other news, I’m releasing a new EP! It’s called the Bomb Iran EP! I figured I should release the YouTube sub-sensation “Bomb Iran” because apparently people would like to have an actual non-YouTube-sounding recording of it. And it gives me an excuse to finish and release some of the outtakes and demos from Missing Briefcase that I really like but weren’t quite right for the album. Also, I re-recorded 2003′s “Soldier Down” specially for the EP, to kind of give a bit of thematic consistency. It should be out by mid-March. Here’s the tracklisting:

1. Bomb Iran
2. Soldier Down
3. Waiting While Sleeping (MB outtake)
4. Just Like That (MB outtake)
5. Choke (MB outtake)
6. Eternal Return (10/06 demo)
7. I’m In The Way (12/06 demo reworked)

Of course, I will let you all know the instant the EP is available on CD Baby, iTunes, and that whole routine. Until then…HIKE!

This afternoon I wrote a new song and recorded a demo. It’s called “Not Salman Rushdie.” Of course, I HAD to videotape myself playing it, so:

In other news, I made some kickass meat loaf last night, which resulted in kickass leftovers tonight.

Bono-like,
