Well, it looks like Sound Pollution is going to be putting out our new recordings. Fucking amazing.

We learned a few covers for the two shows that we'll be playing this weekend. "Six Pack" by Black Flag, "Dear Cops" by Bastard and "Just To Get Away" by Poison Idea.

That's all for now...

Haven't updated this in quite some time.

My life's been going through some changes... I suppose that's all I have to say right now.

Despite being unemployed and starting part time employment just today, I've been keeping myself extremely busy these last couple weeks. I don't really see this ending any time soon, and I think that's a good thing.

Playing a show with Propagandhi...

Geeze, it's been a while. I've been mostly occupied with band crap, which has seen me turn in early every evening for long deep sleeps that leave me refreshed and alert in the morning. I'm currently living a very satisfying existence.

Tonight I'm hopefully going to find out whether or not we will be able to do a 2-week US/Canada tour in the second half...

Sorry about the shameless self promotion. I've been slaving away at tonight's SST Records special that's going to air on Radio State. So if you're bored, tune in at 11 PM CST.

So, it's thursday. Things are heating up in Winnipeg and so far I've managed to keep my non-airconditioned apartment cool and dry. That's not going to last much longer, and it doesn't look my financial situation is going to improve to the point where I'll be able to afford an air conditioning unit.

Under Pressure was in the studio for 19 hours this past Saturday....

I put up a couple more pix of myself because I was bored. Anyhow, one final practice tomorrow, then the studio on Saturday!

Lovely. Even though I didn't have far to walk in the rain to and from the bus stop, I got completely soaked.

Yesturday was spent walking and bussing around the city on erands. I stopped by Chris B.'s place to listen to the test pressing of the Blasphenaut 10", which will be released on History Of The Future. It's sounding really good. I also discussed...

Okay, listen up mothers. I host a weekly hardcore punk radio show Monday nights from 11 PM until midnight (CST) on 101.5 UMFM. If you're idling online and into underground hardcore from all around the world, tune in.

I stayed up all Thursday night designing the new fully-featured Under Pressure website. I'm very amused and satisfied with the result of my labor. I'm hoping to confirm studio time within the next few days. We'll be going into a pro studio this time. I'm stoked! They have a pool table and videogames for us to amuse ourselves with!

Anyhow, I've been enjoying a lot...

Another 3.5 hours invested, and I'm more eager than ever to get back in the chair and have this thing completed. I'm too impatient; there will be many appointments before this sucker is anywhere near completion. The black clouded background is in the process of being filled in. So far only the majority of the forearm has been taken care of.

I finally broke down...

Only a few more days before my 2nd tattoo appointment. It's only 3 hours and I'm glad, not on account of pain as the pocketbook. I hope Kurt can get a lot of shading in, and I hoep that he isn't booked too solid for the remainder of the summer. i must complete my sleeve in the not-so-distant future so I can start on my...
