The song "Next Stop Coalinga" is nominated for Viewer's Choice and Best Group video for the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards. The band is competing along side friends The All-American Rejects and Panic! At the Disco........Underground Railroad to Candyland spends much of their time slaying orcs and goblins in the LA basin and along the 110 and 5 Freeways. In battle, they are led by the ferocious and meticulous Mike Felix, supervised by Congo and text support is provided by the Jacks. Freedom is an interesting concept and, usually, they are fighting for it. However, these games are often played and not everyone is always sure of the outcomes. France also plays a big role when you can't sleep. Additionally, plans for a future out takes on emotions remain strangely up in the air. People keep talking about what is happening next but no one picks up the ball after it bounces out of the basket. The Lakers went down, embarassingly, in 6 games and Lamar lost his considerable mojo.
Sometime in the middle of June he began to feel suffocated by paranoia and exhaustion due to the onslaught of insults back home. His drug and alcohol habit had already lead to a few short stints in rehab, but he finally hit rock bottom. He sadly left the city in mid 2008 and is now unemployed and living on the South side of Omaha where he plans on riding his bike around until the winter months make it impossible.
