It is a very sad day in the Taxpayer camp. Our beloved van, the Nutwagon (not named by us…. she has a long history, and was named roughly 200,000 miles before we met her) has gone to sleep for good.
She served us well. For $1,000, she took us all over [...]

In short, we have many things to report and tell you about. 8 songs done. More written. Back in the studio with Kolderie soon. Samples for [...]
