Our first 7" is out! Here's what Trouble In Mind says:
TIM007: Tyler Jon Tyler "New England Street" b/w "Faster Than Light"
We are proud to release the debut single by Chicago's own Tyler Jon Tyler. We can assure you that no other band going sounds like TJT. With a Pony that has traded his drums to play bass upside down, Tom from Daily Void's intricate drum patterns and "new comer" Rebecca's sparse guitar and thoughtful lyrics, their skeletal "less-is-more" sound brings to mind bands like The Clean, Young Marble Giants, & the Raincoats. These songs evoke a time and a place and demand your attention. (Not too mention Ian Adams' Stylophone wizardry on the B-Side)
Buy it on mix-colored vinyl at Trouble In Mind or from a distro near you! Here's a stream from our Bandcamp site...
warm spit, etc.

I drew this vulture probably about ten times. The color in this one was accidental but I liked it and drew over it.

Cover Letter Part 1, or How to Bullshit to Get a Job
With this one, I got a pretty good interview in (the guy rolled in on a Segway, I shit you not) but blew the second interview.
To Whom It May Concern:
If technology were a religion, I'd be wholly devoted. If you take a look at my living space, it would almost seem like I already am. Every night I stand before a shrine of charging electronics, where plugging in my cellphone, BlackBerry, MP3 player, and digital camera is like lighting candles; I read Engadget and TechCrunch RSS feeds multiple times daily as if they were each a gospel in the bible. This is why I was very, very excited to see your ad in Craigslist-- finally, a chance to work around what I am already so engrossed in.
I previously worked in sales at a company that was held together by email. I was enthralled to have my own workstation and BlackBerry, and used each to their full potential to maintain an efficient workflow. Also being in sales helped me work directly with both management and clients, where I learned to fulfill the needs of both parties successfully.
It would be great to receive a reply and possibly set up an interview. My resume and references are in plain text following this cover letter-- please let me know if you'd like it in a different format. Thank you for taking the time to read through this-- if I'm not what you're looking for, hopefully you found some humor in this anyway.
Hope to hear from you soon,
Rebecca Flores

Mother of Tears
Almost was the cover to their 7-inch out soon on Hozac, but we have to retake it as we did not realize the resolution was so low.
