(Sorry I'm a little late on this one. Actually I'm really late, haha.)
Tegan contributed to Doxa's Exposed! Camera Auction. She has filled a roll of film will never-before-seen, undeveloped photos taken by her. You can bid on the autographed camera here at eBay. (If you're crazy enough to pay that much!)

New MySpace blog post!
Hey Everyone!
I had the very distinct pleasure of singing on Jim Wards New EP recently. The EP is called In the Valley, On the Shores. You can go to www.tembloroso.com and name your own price to get a digital copy of the EP or you can pay $7, post paid US/Canada and get a hard copy, the entire month of May!!!!
If you don't know who Jim Ward is go to Wikipedia and look him up. Immediately afterwards you'll be heading to www.tembloroso.com to get his EP. Its beautiful. And you will not regret it.
I met Jim at a festival in Germany (he did not write a song about it). Then we hung out when his band Sparta were opening for Velvet Revolver in Vancouver a couple years ago now. We have the same birthday and we basically became best friends that night.
So from one friend to another bunch of friends, I'm telling you my friend Jim has made a really amazing EP. Go get it!
Your friend, Tegan

P.S. In case Tegan wasn't convincing enough to you, I bought the EP this morning, listened to it, and cried. It is so beautiful. Listen to Tegan. GET IT! She sings on the track "Broken Songs" and it is incredible.

i won't lie, watching the calgary flames be eliminated last night from the playoffs was upsetting. i blame the chocolate ice cream and sunstroke for the fretful sleep and my subsequent cranky mood. today, i feel no anger towards the chicago franchise. in fact, i'm...happy for you chicago. and your cities people. may you Zamboni the shit out of vancouver in the next round.
who's excited for this? http://www.tsspivet.com. i am.
also sort of getting hyperbolic about the show deadwood. don't be surprised if the new album is death pop meets r&b with a little bit of sheriff meets gold rush 1800's sexy. just saying.

Some news about the record
From altpress.com:
On the as-yet-untitled follow-up to 2007's The Con, members of their touring band join Tegan and Sara Quin, and Con producer Chris Walla (Death Cab For Cutie) for an album Sara begrudgingly describes as "upbeat. I hate saying that, but we just get together in the studio and Tegan and I just dance awkwardly!" Fans can expect plenty of surprises, including a track called "Alligator," which Sara based around a piano hook in a bid for urban pop hit-making. "When it came to fleshing the arrangement out, nobody reached for a guitar," she recalls. "Six hours in and there were four people jamming on keyboards. I was like, 'Oh, my God, are we Kraftwerk?'" But like many of the Quins' adventures, there's always a great back story involved. "Tegan and I did a writing session in New Orleans a couple months ago," Sara begins, "We wrote seven songs together and all we had was an electric guitar, a weird acoustic guitar, a microphone and a drum kit. And we were like, 'We're gonna make a really stripped-down Replacements record, just harsh, reverb-y guitars and focus on melodies and lyrics. Watching everybody playing keyboards on 'Alligator' made me think, 'You know, we've really gone off the path here...'"
