Go to it. http://www.birdofyouth.com/2012/02/we-have-a-soundcloud-page-go-to-it/ http://www.birdofyouth.com/2012/02/we-have-a-soundcloud-page-go-to-it/#comments Tue, 07 Feb 2012 19:07:23 +0000 admin http://www.birdofyouth.com/?p=43  

we’ve hunkered down for the winter to work on new songs and prep for album #2. this means a lot of writing, demo’ing, more writing, more demo’ing and a fair amount of goofing off in our practice space. luckily the goofing often results in fun things like spontaneous covers, which we plan to periodically record and post to our SoundCloud page to remind you that we still exist. there’s a cover of “Nine Times Blue” by Mike Nesmith up there now.

 

check back regularly for more.

 

also: Nesmith for President.
