a warning

so....sorry for....the lack of updates....news....and info....but here's a good one to hopefully make up for it.

the last year and a half has been spent. we crossed borders....saw the ever changing weather patterns.....met new faces.....and most likely played your city more than twice.
time and dates pass....but the feeling never changes. we love what we do...and all that comes with it. and one of the most important things you.....you who stood out in the cold...who drove and flew the long distance.......who allowed us to forget what was lost...and to share a place in time with us.....even if it was only for an hour.....minute....or second.
thank you to you all.

so....with that.....here's the update.
we have been writing new songs for the better part of this year...and now we are solidifying it to a little piece of spherical magic plastic incased in a box.....also known as...a hard drive. don't worry we have other plastic boxes to back up the magic one.
anyway....it's been about a month since we started...and things are becoming clearer and clearer every day. somewhere in the midst of the many many pedals....keyboards...amps....gtrs & basses....microphones.....and whatever else we can get our hands on....there are songs. songs that show our best....our worst...our fears....loves...insecurities and progress.....and sometime soon it will be in your hands to do whatever you like. we hope you enjoy it...get angry at it....love it....smile at it...yell at it.....laugh with it....and cry with it.

very truly yours....great northern

this house is a palace

we made it....home sweet home.
turn off the engine
step out safely
unpack your brain
sleep in bed
no regrets
what to do now?
engage in staring contest with walls?
go see a magic show?
kiss your cat?
all is needed
we will miss you guys.
until next time.
when you're staring at the ceiling
don't forget to turn out the lights.

total eclipse: horoscope by rach



turn around..
every now and then i get a little bit lonely and
you're never comin round..
turn around..
every now and then...i get a little bit tired of
listening to the sound of my tear....
just kidding.
remember that song..
by bonnnie something?
total eclipse of the heart..
anyway!
did anyone see the AMAZING lunar eclipse last week?
it was in virgo..and it was spooky and beautiful
so what does this mean to us...

capricorn-break out of your old habits and
routines.. it's time to break new ground and the
universe is fully supporting you RIGHT NOW

aquarius-hang tight..it has been rough lately, but
just when you think you can't take it anymore...things
start looking up.the full moon lunar eclipse will help
you release the bad shit you have been feeling lately...

pisces-happy birthday you psychic fish...use your
wisdom to now help others who are having a shitty
time...and do it with humility..you are wise and it is
time to share it

aries-this coming weekend will be very helpful for
you to discriminate between the good and bad things
and people in your life... pay attention to the bad ones
and kick em to the curb...nicely

taurus- you-on-fire! heightened senses and
awakenings abound...you are on a quest for
answers..and you are going to find them.. just ask the
right questions

gemini-both of you are awesome..don't feel
restricted ..you will find more freedom as the weekend
unfolds..

cancer-don't go down the downward spiral of
depression...it will feel dark and then all of a
sudden somebody will turn the lights on and you will
like what you see..just hang in there

leo-you will have the chance to undo some of your
past mistakes and hurts..go for it. don't hold back,
and this weekend will show you how powerful you really
are.

virgo-full moon was in your sign, so hopefully it
wasn't somebody's bare ass. think twice or three times
about the things you think hold you back..and you just
might see them helping you get exactly where you need
to be.

libra-don't settle for second best..you know what
you need and what you want..just believe you deserve
it

scorpio-don't let your fears overwhelm you...this
weekend will reveal to you that you can trust a lot
more in things then you allow yourself to

sagittarius-you will see the people in your life
differently this weekend.maybe you don't have everyone
figured out after all..you will be pleasantly
surprised


hope we all have a down pouring of $$$$
and amazing luck..
and that bush leaves office early so that we don't
have to hear him talk ever again!!
