End-of-the-break news

It's been a busy break for OA alumni. Though there hasn't been a ton of content posted here, that doesn't mean we haven't been busy in our laboratories working (or, as the case may be, actually working).

A few changes that you should be aware of are here on the Only Anything home site: We are working on getting everything in its right place and have created two additional sister sites for other work not directly related to OA, (but not unrelated, either). In the right menu, under Family Sites, you can find links to new Lancaster and New Moves pages. These will remain subordinate in emphasis to the main page content/project, but will be updated from time to time. Go ahead and subscribe to them so you don't miss out on stories or other content.

We are also talking about the best way to publish Jon T.'s prolific catalog of solo tunes. We figured out that he has at least two albums of music that he has recorded over the course of the last 10 years or so and at least 10 more songs that need just a bit more work and then could be recorded as well. Of the three new sites, this is the one that I am most interested in. Jon has some really great music that only a few of us have had the opportunity to listen to. That is all about to change.

Also, the three videos I have posted in the last few days (see below) document a bit more of what we did over Thanksgiving. Jon and I are working hard to have at least two actual songs completed and available for you very soon. We're very excited about these "Pie Tunes" and can't wait for you to hear them. I just posted some pictures from this weekend as well--check 'em!

Finally, as I mentioned in the "Breaking News" post below, during my vacation to my parents' house, I discovered nearly four hours of old Only Anything footage. It will be my goal in the next semester (sorry, you non-academics--I think in terms of semesters), to get highlights from this material (which includes live shows, "making-of" footage, and other hooliganisms) here and to archive the material in its entirety on our Vimeo site.

Oh, and if you got here by way of the Facebook group--thanks!
