music: sunny day real estate - the rising tide - "snibe"
mood - pretty good.
tonight, i jammed with james and scott at whitey's bar and billiards. the place is ok i guess, a big pool hall, almost devoid of customers, and this crappy just-graduated-high-school ass rock band got preferential treatment, they kept pulling us off the stage to let SIGMA play their bran dof stuck in senior year half-metal, like three doors down did when they first came onto the music television a few years ago. except without their talent or lyrical ability.
fuckers.
ah well, the three of us have decided to work on a few songs before the next jam, which is two weeks from tonight (wed) including "stars" by HUM, "pillars" by sunny day real estate, "hit or miss" and "second to last" by NFG, and hopefully "my hero" by foo fighters. we're going to work on these independently and hten when we come together we'll be ready to blow their ass off. plus, eventually we might be able to bust out some old calling all cars songs, even though most of them have become boymeetsworld songs and i am the only one who remembers them all, albeit adapted to my songwriting.
new music: Far - water and solutions - "the system"
so today i also downloaded a track form the used. it's the one with th esean ingram guest vocal, i hadn't heard it but, by the vibes i was getting form all the reviews, this happens tobe the only good song on the cd. not surprising, i was far form impressed with the first single, and to be honest had never been impressed by ayhting i had heard at all.
so anyway, "sound effects and overdramatics" is pretty cool, the bass line is less cheesy than most of their songs i've heard and the addition of The Bear to the mix makes for a decent listen. it might be better, though, if bert did th ebacking vox and let sean excel at what he does the best.
yeah, so whatever. i'm done, i got an hour before i'll be drowsy, time for san andreas and mass murder.
later.
oh, ps i got a myspace to put my friends who already have it on there. cheesegodbob@hotmail.com if anyone's interested. but be warned i won't be blogging htere, it's mainly to get the sg, blue collar distro and reggie names on my friends list. plus anyone else hwo is coola nd wants ot be on my list.
aight, even later than later on...
