And just like that... it happens.

smile

I've just done 2 gigs in 2 days, 1 on Friday with Licking Chocolate Jesus, the other last night with The October Country.

Friday was legendary. Never have we been so drunk and played so well and made such a spectacle. We had El Demento administering Chugs to all the band whilst we were playing, while Party Girl...

Great gig last night. Get Tony to book you again soon; I'm tired of listening to shite metal on a Saturday night in The Duke.
chris_sick:

Things just aren't like they used to be.

I'm not getting any younger, either. But I've known love. I've had several pretty serious relationships. Ask me at the time, and I'd have told you I was in love with them all. I've since known the difference. I lost the real love.

Suffice to say, I'm emotionally ill prepared to get deeply involved with anybody right...

New hair rocks.

Gig the other day was fun and very poorly attended.

Two more this weekend.

October Country radio session airs this Sunday, BBC Radio Wales, Adam Walton show, 10pm-1am.

I have a new crush. blush

Everyone one in my house including myself has been ill for almost 3 weeks now, with no signs of abatement.

I have found a new favourite band. The Victorian...

sounds like a fun night ahead of you. i'm getting a keyboard shortly. an actual keyboard. a working keyboard. will be arranging again. composing. the thoughts in yon brain burn like fire. i am exicted.

all my crushes have completely and utterly crushed me back.
chris_sick:
that qualifies as "feed me your heart" material.

i'd like to know more about that, but you're probably not comfortable talking about it.

meanwhile:
i owe you candy.

I just cut/dyed my hair again.

Now it's like Wesley Snipes from Demoliton man.

Only it's blue, and I'm white.

Plus, it's spiky on top. But that shaved-V thang, I got that going on.

For the want of a digi and/or web cam.

thanks for the comments, really.

most times i just write and its a sort of take it or leave it attitude. this i wanted something particular. i need to need to know what this makes people feel because i want them to feel something very specific. so it helps, and i take no critiscm poorly, it enlivens me.

as for medicine, yeah, some people need it and some don't just like some drugs do what they're supposed to and some don't. best of luck to you in that field.

I just had the worst day of my life.

The fact I am still alive is thanks mostly to one person.

i had one of those not too long ago. but i was very lucky, the scars are healing and there is no permanant damage done.

what the fuck happened to you?
chris_sick:
i just realized you like the gun club. someone needs to burn me everything they ever recorded. i only have one album. the world is a cruel place, if only due to this fact.

It occurred to me that the claustrophobic geography of this country is the biggest reason why everything sucks. Why there is so little cultural diversity, why popular opinion really is popular opinion, why it's near impossible to just meet a genuinely interesting person without going out of your way to do so... and even then you'd be lucky if you do. Everything's too close dammit....

indeed:
After my "back atcha" wink, I read your entry.

Dude, this is exactly what I'm going through. I'm either extremely happy with life and not wanting to change a thing, or I'm so miserable I don't have the energy to change anything. I've recently sold all my belongings and I'll be leaving soon to travel around America. I've found some odd jobs in Florida as post-hurricane clean-up and a blueberry farmhand. I'm scared to death, but hopefully it'll change my outlook on things a little. I'm only worried about my friendships I have here... I really love my friends, but I'm terrible at keeping in touch. Woah...how'd you do that? You just got me to pour my heart out. My instict now is to erase all this, but then I'd have just wasted the last few minutes.
indeed:
Yeah, it sounds like you should get the hell out of there. If your only reason for staying is your music, and you're miserable in every other aspect, how do you know you wouldn't be making better music somewhere where you're not miserable?

Recent memories:

Moving into Party House Party House with 2 bandmates and the daughter of the lady who owns the house.

Gluing my hands together with industrial adhesive.

Waking up face down in a pool of my own vomit, the credibility of dying in the second most time-honoured rock star fashion only denied me by the apparent above-average vomit-absorbency of thick shag carpeting.

Spending three...

Fragments from a conversation I heard the other day in a takeaway:

"...she took that date rape drug on purpose..."

"...they didn't even know those two boys..."

"...can you imagine doing that in someone else's house?..."

"...there was blood everywhere. I had to clean eight towels this morning..."


Try to fill in those blanks.
chris_sick:
hot damn! best journal post ever. that's going into a story somewhere. or a fucked up poem. yes... fucked up poems are great for shit like that. less random, but i recently was told by a girl i hardly know about the first time she took on two guys at a party and can't remember either of their names.
chris_sick:
yeah shit like this i never doubt, because its almost impossible to make it up. i think i remember that part in brave new world. dialogue is always hard to writer, mostly because since you're writing it you think it sounds phoney, because it sounds phoney to you, usually other people don't think its phoney. cause they didn't have to make it up. its great when i write a scene with multiply people if i can actually write it in such a way that you know who said what without me haaing to tell youi, just by whats said and in what order. that's always fun.

So on the way home today, we passed a car with these two fat fucks inside, mother and daughter I figure, the daughter - 10 years old at a guess - squirming around the backseat with a packet of something - and the mother - early 40's? - in the front, reaching round, grabbing angrily at the bag of whatever kiddie fatso is holding before...

nice to hear everyone on the other side of pond is having as much fun as i am. forget you knew yon girl. forget you knew everyone. break for the wilderness, eat nuts and buries and eats what you kill, kills what you eat.

simple as that.

but then again,
that is my advice to everything.

i slipped onoffon back into rotation. it did not grow. it did not even bud. there were a few that left me apathetic as opposed to outright annoyed. i will try again but today the only album that matters is the replacement's "let it be". i've decided it is the perfect rocknroll album. clearly.

thanks for commentary on poetry.

We (the band - The October Country - that one) just finished recording a radio session (for BBC Radio Wales, UK) this weekend. All live, sounded awesome.

Learned to shotgun beers, which was fun. Bob decided that in order to properly reproduce our live sound, we'ed all need to be in the same state we're usually in before a show. Since we didn't have time...

Shotgunning drinks is something I've learnt from London. It's great. Makes me puke though. ha ha.

OK, the party weekend was brilliant. The gig was a weird one. Much more of a family atmosphere than expected, and hence our typical nightclub sleaze didn't really carry in the midday sun... least of all in front of dozens of sub-10 yr olds.

Funnily enough, the younger kids loved it. We impressed a few people. Sold some CD's, maybe made some new fans. Plus,...

yeah i wound up digging the miniwatt stuff. i'll have to look into that band further. as for dellio, i'll try givng the one you recommended a shot.
beedlebaum:
i downloaded that miniwatt...good shit.

I don't know where i got the gang of four from...maybe because everyone else is ripping them off?

You would love the shit out of Lightning Bolt, though.

Check out Load Records...they have a lot of decent stuff.
