As you may have noticed, I’m not at all following the Secret Garden schedule as originally published. You know what comes in the way of timely blogging? LIFE

Hang on tight, a new schedule and all videos are coming out the pipe over the next few weeks. The Tallest Man on Earth video will go up tomorrow, June 10.

But I can’t just leave you with no gifts, now, can I? So I made your desktop a Tallest Man on Earth wallpaper. Grab the right size:

1024 x 768 | 1152 x 720 | 1280 x 800 | 1440 x 900

A new collection of Secret Garden performances will resume tomorrow, April 29th. Here’s a schedule of what’s in store. If you’re unfamiliar with this ever-changing magical garden, it is a mini-documentary series in which I film bands performing a few songs outside the context of a regular show. Along with the schedule you’ll also find some “candid band photos” that, as a tradition of my own, I take after each shoot.

If you’re a blogger who’d like to write a preview for any of these episodes before they release, just email me at hoovesontheturf [at] gmail [dot] com

Here’s a schedule of Secret Garden releases coming in the near future. If you’re unfamiliar with this ever-changing, magical garden, it is a video series in which I film bands performing a few songs outside the context of a regular show. Along with the schedule you’ll also find some “candid band photos” that, as a tradition of my own, I take after each shoot–though sometimes I forget.

If you’re a blogger who’d like to write a preview for any of these episodes before they release, just email me at hoovesontheturf [at] gmail [dot] com and I’ll give you access to an “advanced screening” of a sort. Thanks!
