The new Battles album kicks ass.

In highschool people told me I should join America's Next Top Model, but the people who knew me better said I should do UFC. I'm one mean SOB if you piss me off.

Also, you're the closest. My mom's name is Kate and we look identical. However, I'm not telling anybody if they're right. MUAHAHAHAH!

The Berg Sans Nipple

Yep. I've been too busy this week. I miss my girly sooooo much.

I saw Shortbus last night. Everyone must watch this. It is a phenomenal film. Very powerful.

I stayed up late with the bass player finishing off his tracks. I'm very happy about the bass sound/signal. Very very happy. But I'm at work now and I'm very very tired.

I went ahead and dished out the $500 bucks I did have to buy some M-Audio Studiophile BX8a studio monitors. I wanted some Yamaha HS-80M, but no one carries them in my...

I wish I got the HS-80Ms now. I ended up going for the HS-50Ms for the price but the low end response is nearly non-existent without the add-on subwoofer at low volumes. You really have to crank them up to hear the bass.

Those BX8a's look like they'll get the job done nicely.

Well, the drum tracks are finally finished. But I have another dilemna. Our bass player accidentally knocked over my recording console and now the headphone jacks don't work. I already have the solution but now I have to buy studio monitors. Which I don't have the money.


Despair is a fucking bummer. And it ate me up last night. Thank goodness for the quick recovery.
tafkasp:
do you have an old boombox you can route the main outs to, and use its headphone jack and speakers?

I found the problem with the kick and it has been fixed.

This weekend was a crazy one. The only mistake was buying the largest bottle of Jack Daniels thinking I could party like I used to.

My best friends cousin graduated from high school and had a huge party on friday. So....all us old folks went out to that. Ha. There was alot of...

Your girlfriend is beautiful. I can't think of anything better than waking up to the one you love.

Ps. I like your tank top. smile

believe me, i feel your pain. i'm the same way. that's why i decided after my last recordings, regarding anything that i was serious about releasing/promoting, that as much as i love recording, i didn't want to wear the two hats of both musician and engineer in the same session because it was too much. so i decided in the future that i wanted other people to record me when it comes to my own projects, i.e. my babies. otherwise, it's just too chaotic and i end up doing both at 50% as opposed to concentrating on one at 100%.

i wish you well, my friend.

haha good luck with that

My band has lost our cello player. But in less than an hour we gained a new violinist! It's weird being so bummed and excited at the same time.

I have a feeling that a girl convinced him to leave. A stupid, boring, fake girl that for some retarded reason he's obsessed with. Who has also ripped his heart in half time and time again....

Fuck kick drum Mics! Well....atleast my brand new b.l.u.e. kickball. It sounds fucking incredible. And therefore must crap out on me after twenty minutes of use. Fuck my Shure kick mics too. They sound gay.
Luckily I borrowed an AKG D112 from my friend Andy. Who happens to be in a fantastic band called Dignan. I recommend you check them out. We will be...

LISTEN TO THE NATIONAL'S NEW ALBUM!!!!!

Recording!!!!

I hope I hope I hope the starting signals come out well. I stress myself out so much when I record. And I've never recorded such a big band before. Six members is going to be tough. Especially when every member has such intricate parts. Oh, How I wish I could record reel to reel. Tape would work...

I have to get my hair cut all the time because it grows so fast and is so short. :-p

hey, I saw your post in the IndieRock group about booking a tour. If you guys ever want to come to the west coast, I've got contacts running from san diego, all the way up through seattle. Lemme know if you need help.

It's a bitch to do your own booking. Aaaarrrrrgh.

I feel distant to everyone except my band members. I guess that's the way it goes.

It's tough getting rid of my promiscuous side. I can control acting on it because my girlfriend is the shit. But the thoughts still run through my head. But....It's perfectly normal right? It's just my weiner talking. Right?

My friends...

A Huge Thank You to the people who helped with venues and contacts!

My guitar is splattered with blood from our show on saturday. I don't know why, but I'm very proud. And I'm never going to wash it off. The show on the other hand was a little bleh. The acoustics as the place were horrible and we just weren't "feelin it." I still...

Awesome. I will bring all my friends. All, like, 5 of them.
Nooooo. I have more friends than that.
fauna:
Awesome, I can't wait.

Also, I think my boyfriend might have the same/simlar guitar. I don't think his a classic or anything. Just a regular old purple tele. 1 of his like.... 7? guitars.
