Neutral Milk Hotel Lyric
I'm not too hip to the web 2.0, but I'm trying to throw some stuff together for the web site soon. I'm going to put up a press page, for instance. But since I haven't done that yet, and since I know that you're dying to know what the world is saying about us but you're as lazy as I am and therefore unable to track it all down on your own, I thought I would post some sweet propaganda here:
Sonically refreshing and loaded with the kind of narrative velocity that makes critics rush for the word “timeless,” Goldberg’s seemingly endless charm might very well single-handedly revitalize indie pop. -- Caught in the Carousel
Steve Goldberg and the Arch Enemies could likely end up one of the great lost pure pop records of 2007. -- Stewart Mason, All Music Guide
A heavenly bubble bath of baroque pop that I can soak in for hours and hours. -- Dagger Zine
A tight, coherent suite of hyper-literate ditties. -- Pittsburgh City Paper
A dissertation on the history of pop, presented in perfect three- and four-minute chapters. -- Las Vegas City Life
I love how they make it sound like the best album ever. Thank you, writers! But it wouldn't be fair and balanced if I didn't include this one:
A chamber-pop hodgepodge topped with cutesy lyrics. Groan. -- Las Vegas Weekly
Las Vegas: opinions divided on Steve Goldberg and the Arch Enemies. More on this story as it develops!

The bridges burst and twist around
I had a crazy dream the other night. I dreamed that I was in a recording studio of some kind, and I was working on mixing a track. Will Haines was there. We could hear the sounds of a band performing. It was coming through the walls from another room in the building, somewhere below us. The band we heard was Steve Goldberg and the Arch Enemies, and the song they were playing was 23rd Century Identity Crisis. The song we were mixing was also 23rd Century Identity Crisis, except it was a new version, different from the album one, and it was more intense and impressive and inspiring, and it was way cooler than the way the band was playing it. I said something about the band being decent, and then I played our track again and said "Yeah, this sounds sweet!" and Will Haines stroked his goatee and nodded. That's all I remember of the dream.
Weird, huh? I think it means that the next album we make is going to be really good. Some titles of new songs I have written are as follows: Things I Used to Know, The Garden of Forking Paths, Views from a Plane.
That's all for now.

We returned to Garfield Artworks in Pittsburgh the other night for a fun show. We drank beer and played a Leonard Cohen cover that we'd only practiced once. Ezra Furman and the Harpoons and Murder Mystery were both great, you should check them out. Thanks to everyone who came, especially Mahsa for taking pictures. This is what it looked like:
