The one thing that`s always certain in the music business is uncertainty. And just a few days after my post, its uncertain whether we`re going to New York anytime soon or not. So while our creative juices are flowing nicely at the moment, the political juices in our world are not.

Many people ask about Gabe McNair and Steve Bradley, our horn section, so here`s a brief update. When Gabe isn`t playing keyboard s with us in the studio , he`s been playing drums for a band called Senze Motiva. Steve is singing in his own band, Good Life up in San Francisco Bay Area.

Our recording of "I Throw My Toys Around" can be heard on the Rugrats Movie soundtrack CD, out in the stores now. One of our musical heroes, Elvis Costello, wrote and produced the song for us a few months ago.

All os us in No Doubt had a very nice time celebrating Halloween locally a tan Orange Country party thrown by Offspring singer Dexter Holland. Many of our close friends were in attendance. Fine music was being spun on the patio by Noodles the DJ, causing many of us to dance furiously throughout the night. Eric Sanden from NOFX was there, and so were the Vandals and One Hit Wonder. Gwen was dressed as a Vampire, Tony was a bag of French fries, Adrian was a nun, Gabe was a skeleton, and I was something politically incorrect, so I better not mention it.
