Unwound - "New Plastic Ideas" |
] |
so last nite i fell off the wagon, hard...4 tall scotch and soda's...ouch! needless to say today wasn't the greatest day ever...im going to take a nap and then get ready for the North Lincoln show with my ex-band Mustard Plug...should be totally fun. all the diaper crew is going to be there so you know we's gonna keep it real! so i started playing bass alot more and writting some lyrics.....i think a band is going to form out of this...can't wait....it should really start getting serious about the time i get back from tour. practice and then show time. me singing and playing bass, should be fun....just gotta find other people to play in this band with me....i want it to sound like Unwound really badly...they were such a great band. So far all my lyrics have been dealing with shit that happend to me over the past year and a half but more on the fuck you side of it all....really angry stuff, but writting it down has made me feel so fucking great! i love it. anyway im off for a nap.....really tired this kid is! xoxo

Braid - "Age Of Octeen" |

ah, the wonders of axel foley. anyway not much to report, ive been in a better mood lately. not so up and down and all that jazz. pretty much smooth sailing. its really good and i hope it stays that way and by the looks of how things have been going, i think it will, and maybe even get better. i can't wait to leave on tour. the fest will be alot of fun this year unlike last year which was a disaster. then its off to the west coast with the Glass and Ashes boys, such fine fellas. anyway, i have to get going, i have to send packages out for ebay auctions people won from me...oh yeah, i know no one likes me but if you have any pictures of me from the halloween party send them my way..i need new photos. alright, see ya'll soon, maybe...

Braid - "My Baby Smokes" |

well she would if i had a "baby", i don't so
i can only dream of one that smokes and listens to Braid
constantly.
my dream girl...
oh yeah she'd also have to really dig Jawbreaker.
my sickness is gone, its offical.
now i just have to finish out my medication which makes me
really dizzy and extremely tired but keeps the bad stuff away.
only a few more days.
so me and rick johnson have talked about doing a drum and bass band.
not techno bullshit but something along the lines of the minutemen.
could be really cool.
stay tuned for futher details on that one.
anyway im out to go to bed.
sweet dreams everyone.
xoxo

Samiam - "mud hill" |
] |
press junket just got back from practice.
it was awesome to say the least.
we learned 4 new orginals and one cover.
the cover being, "if i could talk i'd tell you" by the great lemonheads.
went to the bar last nite with stephen and brian.
dante showed up at logans then joined my and brian at mulligans.
i didn't have anything to drink and it was still very fun.
however, aparently its superiority type thing..
who knows.
anyway, tonite is the hockey game.
wings vs. blue jackets.
should be good.
maybe afterward we'll head up to mulligans again for another nite
of fun and entertainment.
halloween is coming up and im thinking about going as a Baseball Fury from the
great movie The Warriors.
i just got to see how much it costs to get a baseball uniform.
hopefully not to much.
if not ill probably think of something else thats cheap and maybe a little
offensive.
nick brought up doing black face...but if i did i couldn't really go anywhere else except the party
without the fear of getting my face smashed in.
i think of something.
in the meantime.
xoxo.
