On Sunday I drummed with Tim Kile. We are going to be the best ever death metal band out of Santa Fe, particularly since Tim's songs are not at all like death metal. In fact, he sounds a lot like the Arcade Fire. He has a strong idea of what he wants each instrument to play, and even told me what kind of beats he wanted. This makes for a tense jam, but seeing as he knows his shit, I bow to him.

Oh, and by the way, Tim assumes "Laika" is about a former member of the band, whose last name was Alexander. He was older than the rest, and for a while was the only thing keeping them together. He left eventually in a state of dissolution and anxiety.
