Minneapolis, the last show on this tour!

Dear Menomenauts,

Thanks to everyone at the Triple Rock for your incredible hospitality.

This is Michael from What Made Milwaukee Famous and Justin posing with the Triple Rock Bouncer as he bounced away some lingerers :

This was the last stop on our tour, and we really enjoyed being able to hang out with The Long Winters and What Made Milwaukee Famous one last time:

Much love to Nandita and Zaied for being so very nice to us (+ the place to crash), and to Jimmy and Quanah for joining us all for breakfast the next day.

Thanks to everyone who came out to see these shows.

We hope to tour the West Coast this December.

Love love love,
Rock rock rock,
- Brent / Menomena

You guys were awesome. Remind Zaied to give me the dirt on the expelled 3EB guitarist! Heehee. Take care!

Dearest Menomena,

It would make me estatically happy if you might let me in on a secret. What are the chords to Wet and Rusting. I can't seem to remove the song from my head. Thanks,
Someone who thinks you're very awesome

Dear Anonymous,

Thanks for asking what the chords are to Wet and Rusting. The the best of my memory, here's how to play along with a guitar. Tune every note of your guitar one half-step sharp, so that it is (from low pitch string to high pitch string) : F A# D# G# C F.
Therefore, when I write "Em," it's actually an "Fminor" chord the guitar will be making.

The lyrics of the song are above the corresponding chords. I'm sure someone could do better than me at transcribing this, but I hope this helps:

(Oh, and when you see a "m" next to a letter, it's a minor chord, otherwise it's a major chord. Cool?)

[i made you a ...]
Em G Am C
[rest]
Em G Em G
[and when you...]
Em G Am C
[rest]
Em C A C

[hard to take risks ...]
Em G Em G
E G Em (hold)

[i hope that....]
Em G DC CDC
[rest]
Em G Em G
[sep'rated by skin ...]
Em G DC CDC
(Em C A C) <- only on Loaf: a Deli Tea Version, these chords are silent on the "single" version

[it's hard to take risks...]
Em G Em G
[with a pessimist!]
C Em C A
[it's hard to take risks...]
Em G Em G
C G C A

[piano solo!]
Em G Em G
C G C A
Em G Em G
C G C A

[instrumental transition thingy]
Em G Em G
Em G DC CDC

[i hold what will...]
Em G Em G
[i know you'll desert ...]
C Em C A

[though hope can be ...]
Em G Em G
[i'll try to be ... ]
C Em C A

[piano solo # 2 whoopie!]
Em G Em G
C Em C A
[though hope can be....]
Em G Em G
[i'll try to be....]
C Em C A

[though hope can be...]
Em G Em G
[i'll try to be ....]
C Em C A
Em <- Final chord

Thanks for caring!

Hey, I don't know if you'll ever see this, but Evil Bee is pretty much just A, C, D. For the most part.

But there's a lot of solo instruments, like when that bassline comes in A->E->G A->E->G D, C.

Haha, this isn't making any sense. Maybe I'll write down an actual tab and put it on ultimate guitar later...

Dear Menomena,
Did you just play a show in lille a couple months ago? Bummer just moved here and must have hearrd about it 2 weeks later. I was astounded that you came through, though. Hope, the tour went well and maybe with a little luck I'll catch a show sometime!

Thanks,
Evan
