Dear (name of person) Jeffrey,
Before leaving on tour, we made sure to pack the (noun) banana in preparation for two-weeks on the road in (name of country) Kazakhstan. At our first show, we were fortunate to have (name of famous person) Andy Warhol as a support act. By the time we went on stage, the audience, at first, was (adjective) outrageous but by the end of the show they warmed up to us and became (adjective) sugary. We could tell we were off to a (adjective) shivery start, at that first night in (name of city) Kuala Lumpur. Little did we know, that night set the tone for a (adjective) crappy tour. The open road was in front of us, and we felt (an emotion) explosive about the days ahead. With the music blaring from the car’s (noun) sun flower, we took the highway and drove (number) 300,256 miles to the next (noun) corn stalk.
Courtney & Benjamin
FYI, Kaiser Cartel’s new ep, Rock Island, comes out 09/22. 3 tracks, including a Lucinda Williams cover! Awesome. Plus they’ll have songs featured in the first 2 episodes HBO’s of Bored To Death later this month. Busy bees.

was this really written “from the road”??? i don’t think so.
i was lucky enough to run into the KC last week where they were working on new tracks with a creature that kind of reminded me of Aqualung. they were out in a field next to a pond working on cutting vocals in a cardboard structure that looked like it would hold a filing cabinet if the wind didn’t blow it away. there was a small hole that apparently Courtney could fit through but we would never know what she was really doing on the inside. meanwhile Benjamin was wandering around the field looking quite lost, but probably writing this “Letter from the Road”.
what was i doing in this field? that’s a really good question, but the tracks i heard sounded awesome as my vehicle pulled away. they didn’t ask me to bring them food or water, so i’m assuming they’re ok.
