    From Blake:
    "We put together a very low budget video for our song Schenectady. It was all filmed in Schenectady, NY. A very big thanks goes out to the good patrons and staff of The Manhattan Exchange for letting us take over their bar for a couple hours."

    Beautiful song about what looks to be one grimy, drinkin' city.

    I think the Schenectady PD is gonna throw a ticker tape parade for Yarn. Or maybe not.

    Actually, I'd say the town doesn't look so bad! Guess we'll see it first hand on 1/14/11 ;)

    "....wrote it just after officer Jeffrey Curtis was arrested for stealing crack from the department’s evidence locker and smoking it."

    Ha ha, may I assume Jeff beat his wife too?!

    I think it's real easy to take songs like this the wrong way. You can grow up in a great town but at age 16, you still want out of it. Schenectady's no Hollywood but it ain't exactly the projects either. Again, this one reminds me of Ryan Adam's Tennessee Sucks and I love that tune too.

    Reckless,

    Below is a link to the story of the Schenectady police Officer arrested for beating his wife. You may think I have the dates incorrect and Blake had written the song before the beating took place but Mr John Lewis was previously arrested for beating his first wife as well. Additionally John is a well know drug addict http://www.fox23news.com/news/local/story/Former-Schenectady-police-officer-arrested-again/lEMQDXbFZ0S7d4vq5aIxdQ.cspx

    Just thought you may find it interesting

    Ha, thanks. Looks like a real nice guy~

    My wife's uncle is a cop. I'd watch him swill back a 6 pack after our golf league and drive away drunk. I'm assuming of course, that he hands out DUIs to others on the weekend.
