Well, you didn’t really ask I’m just using that as a device to provide the following information-<br/>SCIENTIFIC MAPS has a special guest bassist tonight-Joe Bellacosa! That’s right! The director of our award winning and record breaking music video (you know, the one with all of us dancing on treadmills while having paint shot at us from people wearing bras made of cupcakes) also plays the bass guitar! <br/>MANSCOUTS is going to do what they do.

We’ve received so many angry emails demanding some free songs that we felt we had to give something to you today or it would get violent. This hit should hopefully calm you down! It’s called ‘<a target="_blank" href="http://scientificmapsband0.tripod.com/blogaudio/spacebeliefs.mp3"><strong>Space Beliefs</strong>’</a> ( <—click link to download) and it appeared on a compilation c.d. of B3nson artists not too long ago. Dan Pardee of ‘Sgt. Dunbar’ and ‘The McKinley Administration’ added some singing saw in the beginning. It was recorded in The Bowling Alley in 2008. Now, relax and get downloading!</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>-Aaron</p>http://blog.scientificmaps.com/post/595863334http://blog.scientificmaps.com/post/595863334Thu, 13 May 2010 15:13:00 -0400songsdownloads<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l1ltj1tunD1qzrg3do1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l1ltj1tunD1qzrg3do2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l1ltj1tunD1qzrg3do3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l1ltj1tunD1qzrg3do4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l1ltj1tunD1qzrg3do5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l1ltj1tunD1qzrg3do6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l1ltj1tunD1qzrg3do7_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l1ltj1tunD1qzrg3do8_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>4/23/10 Food for Witches release show photos by Crystal Powell <a href="http:www.capowcapow.com"><a href="http://www.capowcapow.com">www.capowcapow.com</a></a></p>http://blog.scientificmaps.com/post/556618779http://blog.scientificmaps.com/post/556618779Wed, 28 Apr 2010 16:42:00 -0400photos<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l1kcbvWXjs1qzrg3do1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l1kcbvWXjs1qzrg3do2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l1kcbvWXjs1qzrg3do3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>4/23/10 Food for Witches release photos by Katie Broadwell</p>http://blog.scientificmaps.com/post/554727853http://blog.scientificmaps.com/post/554727853Tue, 27 Apr 2010 21:33:30 -0400photos<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l1c22cqBMI1qzrg3do1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>FOOD FOR WITCHES CD RELEASE SHOW 4/23@ VALENTINE’S IN ALBANY </strong>we’re excited for tonight’s party! this is your first chance to be able to buy a copy of ‘food for witches’! i just invited myself into my neighbors house and walked over to their c.d. collection. i slid ‘food for witches’ onto the shelf and man, it really made their entire place look a-ma-zing! also, our lawyers insist we tell you to read the instructions which accompany your new c.d. something about opening a door to another dimension, irascible undead, health hazards etc…etc.</p>http://blog.scientificmaps.com/post/543177477http://blog.scientificmaps.com/post/543177477Fri, 23 Apr 2010 10:11:00 -0400<a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/food-for-witches/id362245893">Food for Witches available on-line now!!</a>: <p><h3 class="UIIntentionalStory_Message"> <span class="UIIntentionalStory_Names" data-ft='{"type":"name"}'> </span><span class="UIStory_Message">hey wow!! because we love you so much…we’re letting you know that you can buy our new release FOOD FOR WITCHES on <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/food-for-witches/id362245893"> iTunes</a> right now!! 7 songs for less than seven dollars? this can’t be true. you all buy it and tell us if it’s true. </span> </h3></p>http://blog.scientificmaps.com/post/538432878http://blog.scientificmaps.com/post/538432878Wed, 21 Apr 2010 11:18:00 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l15gk32IgJ1qzrg3do1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>A release show for our new e.p., “Food For Witches”.
