Good morning, soldiers. Episode 1.8 of the Scamper Podcast is up and running for your listening pleasure right... over... hnyaw. Nate was sick while we were taping, so this episode is a special treat for all of those many listeners out in podcastland who can't fucking stand Nate.

Speaking of listening pleasure, Nate and I were driving home last night and had the pleasure of hearing ourselves on WBCN. Apparently, Shred was playing music from all the bands in this year's WBCN Rock and Roll Rumble. And heck, that's us! Nestled right in there in the bosom of all those terrific bands was your old buddies Scamper. Fa!

The Rumble is a week from tonight. Can you f'ing believe it? Okay, you probably haven't been giving it all that much thought, what with the March Madness and MLB Opening Day coming up and the rumors about Lindsay Lohan being the next Wonder Woman. But it's very exciting for us.

Scamper is jacked to be playing in this year's Rumble. It's a rite of passage for Boston bands to be involved in this thing and we'd love it if you guys all came out and supported us. The line-up is here and the tickets are available here. Practice your consoling "the important thing is that you tried" faces for when Plan B stomps a new one in our girly bespectacled asses.

Just to warn you - it's going to be a whorin' week. I'm going to pimp out the Rumble show so hard that it would make Jessica Simpson's dad blush.
