Update time!
Lyrical Goodness this time comes from one of my fav bands of all time, Social Distortion.

Dear Lover

loving, over and over again it ain't nothing girl,
till you've felt the pain up against the wall,

why does love always have to hurt your scratches run across my back and then a tear

dear lover, i can't take the pain no more dear...

I've had many a hangover from and cured it w/ my namesake. I don't drink it much anymore, it is a little rough. I stick with Tullymore Dew or Makers Mark when i use the shot glass.

These Boots Were Made for Walking
And That's Just What They'll Do
One Of These Days These Boots
Are Gonna Walk Right Over You

Yeah, I cant get Nancy Sinatra out of my head...go figure.

ANYWAY...I've made it back successfully from my trip to SXSW in Austin. First of all I must say that I had a fucking BLAST! It's been about 7 or 8...

Its "Love Song" by Tesla.

Its such a great ballad. Its not your typical cheesey, overly sappy love song. Its just kinda nice....makes ya feel good and gives ya hope. Just as a good song should wink
shiva8:
hahaha who's badmouthing!!! it just always gets me into WAY too much trouble.

i really don't know the Vines that much. i went more for Jet and they were great. you know, it isn't like their music is anything super creative but it gets you shakin tail. the Vines had a very energetic set and were great to watch. i'd see them again.

glad to hear you had a successful evening also.

Howabout some Twilight Singers - The Killer:

I think we're lost, don't worry
I've been here before
I'm sure I thought I knew the way
Out of here yesterday
Dove cuesto, mi dolce?
Your driver called, it's time to go-
Your driver's waiting for you-

And I caught a fever
A holy fire-
Til I was crawling on the ceiling
Come out of your hole...

Hrmmmm...a little bit of Bauhaus for the musically impaired:

She had nut painted arms
That were hers to keep
And in her fear
She sought cracked pleasures
The passion of lovers is for death said she
Licked her lips
And turned to feather

And as I watched from underneath
I came aware of all that she keep
The little foxes so safe and sound
They...

ha, I just typed ya a long letter back, so there..take that! wink

I don't have any recordings from my previous bands. Honestly, its been so long since I've been in one, I'm just starting over now. But once I get something, I'll be more than happy to share it.

DIY record label is an idea I've toyed with to...that and a music magazine. But neither is particularly and easy undertaking. And I'm sure will be much more time consuming then I can even imagine. But, I just LOVE to overbook myself. What's a plate if not overfilled, right? smile
shiva8:
jealous!! hey, i've got lots of love to spread around...
yeah, he's got great taste in pretty much everything. but so do you!

the show was excellent. they were amazing. i'm glad you talked me into it. soooo worth the lack of sleep. i love the clash and the eurythmics. i hear annie and sting are in town sometime soon. was it sting? christ i can't remember. forget i said anything.

finish packing already!! ugh, i feel for you.

kewl... have many drinks and many toasts for me. kiss

cause i sat alone as you worshipped your wallet

setting up goals or whatever you call it

start with

ya I get the asian fetish thing all the time... they usually don't know that I'm asian until I start imitating my mom (in the same way margaret cho imitates her mother).

Except for that whole submissive thing... the cooking and the cleaning. I can't even leave my bagels in the toaster long enough to get brown. I want instant satisfaction now!

i have seen the mistreaters. and the lead singer bartends at the cactus club. they're kind of the un-official house band for the cactus. last time i saw him he was bartending at the SG show. it's been so long since i saw them... they were pretty good tho, for milwaukee.

i probably will go to the von bondies show. i'll just have to nap first.

and i didn't laugh when you said IKEA. they have great stuff. the problem is the store is in chicago and i hate FIBS.

Nothing like a little Afghan Whigs to make your weekend:

Jean Content
He wake up everyday
In a government yard
Deep down inside Citi Soleil
Roll some bones and catch a fire
Evil minds, they will conspire
The moon to lose its light
The stars sink into night
Across the town
A young girl plays guitar
"Do you remember me?" She sings to a lover...

As usual, here's my lyrical goodness for this weeks Journal. A little bit of Soul Asylum for you to ponder over:

I was tapping my foot on a friday night
To my favorite band i was pushed aside
I said "hey don't push me no one pushes me"
When i was face to face with the woman i admired
And she gave me this look...

hope the packing goes well. and yeah, i'll post a pic when it's done.
shiva8:
aw.. you're so sweet.

i'm jealous that you got to meet Brody. i am going to see them in a couple of weeks. i'm beside myself with excitement. i just can't compare her to ms. love tho. i just can't. i am going to check out those bands ASAP. thanks for the tip!

i was going to go see the Walkmen and the French Kicks tonight but i'm losing my drive and will probably end up snuggling in on the couch. i'm old. the Von Bondies are here on thursday and i am definitely hoping to check that out. from what it sounds i'd be right at home hanging out with you drinking your beer and listening to what's in your changer. how fun would that be...

Alrighty then...Ill start of with some lyrical goodness once again for this journal entry. Don't try and read into this one...lets just say I've moved out of my 'depressed' zone and into something a little more upbeat...even if slightly evil.

"Down around the corner-
Lives a naughty little girl
Who clicks her tounge, I love the way
She talk-
She pay no attention, knows I'm...

I look at you and see
My life that might have been:
Your face just ghostly in the smoke.
They're setting fire to the cornfields
As you're taking me home.
The smell of burning fields
Will now mean you and here.

This is where I want to be.
This is what I need.
But I know that this will never be mine.
The thrill and...

music is liquid emotion and it moves my soul.

It so often defines my mood or feelings at the moment as well. And when I find that song that so completely describes how I feel, I get a bit obsessed with it too. I play it over and over as I wallow in it, lol. But in the end, it helps me through.

synflower:
aw, thanks for the positive feedback on the hair color.

So, SXSW, eh? I'm so envious...I've always wanted to go. And I've heard so many good things about Austin in general. Have fun!

As for MoI, I think that's tonight actually. Not sure if I'm going or not yet. Its always tough since I have to be in at 8am on Thursdays...d'oh! Do you ever go to MoI?

Whatever did happen to your soul?
I heard you sold it
To some old boy who lived uptown
Who could afford it
So what's gonna happen to you now?
Therapy... The pharmacy
Crazy
That's what you'd like to believe
But it ain't easy
When yer goin' crazy
Over the rainbow

"I think your story's jive," she said
There ain't nuthin' wrong with me
If I...

thebleak:
hey...

i need a show in philly. you have good music taste so i thought maybe you could put me in touch with a good local band or something like that. i used to know a guy named kirstan that worked at a record store on south street that i know could hook me up but i can't remember the record store and he might not work there anymore. we're looking to come in early may. oh yeah, we play 80's dance rock. thanks for anything!!!
