seriously, it IS a pain... the one thing i'm thinking to make the install easier.. i don't think i'm going to install it with the vertical exhaust.. i think it's an unnecessary step.. it has the forward exhaust already set up..

book!

it's in the shop too

you killed your baby today?

did you manage to snag any of the Vitamin R relics?

that'd be killer....

so... no more spooning all day?

The Walkmen were great. There were two bands that opened, The Cops, and someone else I don't remember. The Cops were not bad, I think they were kinda nervous due to it being their first show, but they rocked pretty good. The Walkmen rule! Their drummer, for only having a four piece kit, is fucking amazing! I think he carries the band, but a I could be wrong.

Oh man I was so pissed last night! I bought their new cd and some stickers. At least I have a couple stickers left, one of them has your name on it.

what did you expect? i mean really... it's the motherfucking city of destiny yo...

yeah, screamo, you got it man...

i haven't heard a single song from coheed.. a little hard to take that one dude seriously, with his wanna-be king buzzo hair and what not...

have a rad time in the city of destiny yo...

Question #6:

What were the real circumstances involved in the fight with Jason Stollsteimer?

Answer:

let me first say that the reason for me not giving out information about this incident was an attempt to keep from giving jason what he wanted: recognition and fame from negativity. and i still don't want to talk about this for fear of them getting more yardage from it, but i'll try to sort out some of the lies. the entire event was completely exploited by him, his band, and his managers and legal professionals. the two of us did have an argument. and i did spit at him. but what he doesn't say is how he then grabbed me to pull me down and pulled out a good deal of my hair. my retaliation was to hit him to get him off of me. then he landed on my hand, which became cut on the broken glass underneath it. the whole thing lasted less than ten seconds. the photo that jason insisted on having taken (BEFORE the ambulance he called came to get him to take him ONE BLOCK away to the hospital,) was sent to the nme magazine THE NEXT MORNING with the photo credit being that of the von bondies manager rick canni. jason would not allow the dried blood from his bloody nose washed from his face before taking the photo. take a look at it again. it's a black eye once you wash the dried blood off. his face isn't full of cuts. the "permanent damage" that he claims was done to his eye from this is also false. having toured extensively with the man i know that he would refuse to drive the touring van because as a teenager jason left a contact lens in his eye for over a year and then tried to pull it out! he tore his eye in doing so. so jason said he could never drive the van because of his eye! sounded more like laziness to the rest of us. it's the same eye he tried to blame me for permanently damaging. all lies. so ridiculous. the whole thing was this. in jason's mind if he made me out to look like i 'ATTACKED HIM BRUTALLY' and he played the victim the whole time, then his name would get well known and the name of his bands, while mine was "dragged through the mud". he had been doing it to me for almost two years at that point. spreading lies and gossip to friends and especially the press. all of the detroit music scene were laughing at the von bondies by this point. remember also that the band was just about to release their album. so it was perfect timing for them. it's so funny that when the aroma of money and fame is in the air old friends will quickly step on your face to get to it. i was so nice to jason and his band you wouldn't believe it. i let them rehearse in my house for free. i got them signed. i produced their album for free. i didn't credit myself on their album for singing, playing guitar, organ, piano, tambourine, etc. out of respect, we took them on sold out tours around the world where i paid for their plane tickets and food out of my own pocket. but none of that matters when fame and money come into the picture. i really tried to talk to jason, over and over again. i called him several times to ask why he was doing this to me and meg, i tried talking, arguing, ignoring, and forgiving. but nothing would stop him from using me like this. it was me trying to be rational with an irrational person. violence is a ridiculous notion. and i would never walk up to someone with the intent to inflict pain on them. but i'm not going to let someone do the same to me without protecting myself.
it really saddened my to see that a lot of people were believing his lies. but the more you repeat something the more people believe it. if you keep saying it, it becomes true. like how my car accident was in a porsche. that's funny because i remember it being in a ford!

also, the new libertines got leaked too! i'm trying to get it...so should you!

hey man, nice birthday.

drinking is the coolest..

that's why i'm so rad.

Yeah, an M-80 up the ass, yeah, I think that would work. Or a full on swing with a Louisville slugger to the face! "BooYa"

Now if they were cats. that would be a different story!

Lets see what jesse has to say about that one
