			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With only 15 more days until Christmas I&#8217;m sure many of you have already had your fill of Santa commercials, and hearing stories about people getting maced while shopping.  To offer a change of pace to the usual Christmas carol, we here at Romeo Spike developed our own brand of holiday song a couple years ago to pull out and share ever year like my mother&#8217;s Chex Mix.  So here is our annual holiday gift to you: <strong>Christmas Diablo</strong> (and the whiskey inspired music video).  Cheers, and Happy Christmas!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Greetings!<br />
To keep with the theme of my October being full of unplanned, last minuteness, we&#8217;ve picked up a last-minute show for Friday, November 11th at Vinyl.  In addition to the fun of saying the show is on 11.11.11 it also just going to be a great show as we are opening up for the talented Daniel James aka Canon Blue.  He is out supporting his new album Rumspringa which is a fantastic undertaking that even has orchestral arrangements from Sigur Ros&#8217;s string section Amiina.  I recommend checking it out.  He&#8217;s got 3 albums including a collaboration with Grizzly Bear&#8217;s Chris Taylor.  http://www.canonblue.com</p>

<a href="http://www.ticketalternative.com/Events/16274.aspx" target="_blank">Tickets Page</a></p>
<p>We could really use your support at this show since we&#8217;re hopping on last minute!<br />
Not only is it a great venue to see Romeo Spike (sound is amazing), but we&#8217;ll also be playing a bunch of brand new songs, and even pulling out an old one we rarely ever play.<br />
Hope to see you there.</p>

<p>I recently had an excellent lesson in perspective . . .</p>
<p>Several months ago our drummer Owen brought in a song he had written, and asked me to take a listen to see if we might want to play it.  It was a great song idea, but there was something about it that just didn&#8217;t sit right with me.  Another month passed, he made some changes to the song, and asked if I could take another listen since he had a really strong feeling about it.  I listened, and alas, it again just didn&#8217;t sit right with me.  (at this point I&#8217;m just feeling awful about it too) Then I realized the problem!! The chords of the song were pretty much the exact same chord progression as two of my MOST HATED pop-rock songs of the last ten years.  I tried to move past it, but all I could hear were those songs.</p>
<p>It wasn&#8217;t until a few weeks later when Donn laid down some guitar tracks for said song that I could actually start to hear the song differently.  I went home, played around with the chords, and was struck with a jaw-dropping moment of &#8220;holy shit&#8221; realization:</p>
<p><strong>The chords to a pair of my MOST HATED songs were the EXACT same chords as ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS OF ALL TIME!!!</strong></p>
<p>WTF?  Like a super-hero who finds out that his evil archenemy is actually his long lost twin brother, I was equally freaked out and excited.  So yeah, we jammed the song last night at rehearsal, and it was great.  All it took was a little different perspective (from Donn&#8217;s guitar part) to make me see a song in a totally different light.  I thought it was a rather elegant reminder that there are two sides to every coin, and sometimes there is a fine line between love and hate.</p>
<p>We&#8217;d love to hear <em>your</em> stories about perspective too . . .</p>
<p>Cheers,<br />
- Michael -</p>
