I've just heard the new Sam Roberts full length album! I'll admit straight out, his first couple of singles are shit. I really couldn't figure out what the big deal around this guy was!?!
Where did he come from and how could he have three huge radio singles, tour the country, front the covers of all major record magazines , and have yet to release...

Well, this is one of those morbid questions, like "Your mother, best friend n girlfriend are drowning. Who do you save? etcetc" so I'd have to say -- I need more evidence of what it IS exactly I'd be dying for, and what afterlife I'd be going TO if this is a deity talking to me... you know, I've paid some dues, in time and money and effort, to the cause of rock and roll so I could ask what rock n roll can do for ME, instead of the other way round... 
plasticfangs:
Hmm...I'm not sure about this quezstion...conflicting thoughts and ideas running through my head...I have given my life to rock n' roll; I figure that's gotta count for something...
I have just finished speaking with a really good friend of mine tonight, we were talking about all the bands we have had or held on a list at some point in time and ended up missing live! I use to have a massive list of the bands I still wanted to see live, then they all started to mysteriously break apart? Maybe, my list...

i had a break after last somester ended but then this one started, see ? but don't worry, there'll be plenty of summer seizing still! i only take 3 courses per somester, and i only go to school monday thru thursday, so really it's more leisurely then working all summer i think. and i get a four week break in august, at which time i'm going to go to Tofino w/ jae and stay at his uncles house on the beach for a bit, his uncle built the place himself, and he's an artist too right so it looks like something out of that show "weird homes", it's totally beautiful. so yeah, plenty of time to seize...
there are so many bands on my list! i thaught when i moved over to van i'd get to see them all, i've gotten to see alot of em', like frank black, elliot smith, the residents (which was FUCKED UP, i don't know if you've seen those guys) radiohead and so on. but obviously i want to see godpeedyoublackemporer real bad. Helium would be cool, i used to listen to those guys all the time as a teenager and that mary timony has always been kind of a schoolgirl crush...maybe if they (or she) came here i could stalk her? i don't know...i don't think girls like that.
speaking of girls, that lucille sure is cute, eh? there's this girl in my poli sci class that looks alot like her, and today i was just like, casually looking over at her and she happened to look at me at the same time and we both saw eachother and i was like AAHHH!!! and immediately proceded to stare at the floor for the rest of the lecture...i know i know, sad...

I couldn't make a list of the bands I can't believe I missed...it makes me so sad to think about...but I guess, the biggest ones would have to be: Pulp, the Ramones, The Beatles, The Zombies, Joy Division, Psychedelic Furs, and The Jam.
Great, now I'm all sad....
Have a nice weekend, man!

I just got in and it's very cold outside, burr. I'm beginning to wonder when our summer will really start!?! I was extra good last winter and we deserve better. Better weather for all! Maybe I could become the Robin hood of weather? I could rob, still, rape, and pillage the rich and give to the poor!
Umm, I don't necessarily know about the who...

just grab yerself a tooque and burrow on into the nearest igloo, eh? jest keep yer mitts off of our lovely sunny goodness...perfectly mixed days of breezy, sunny weather over here in van, heh heh, sorry pally!
It's 2:00am or there about, my time... and I'm going to upload some pictures now. I've been drinking all night long (It's been a shitty week at work) so this could get pretty interesting!?!
Let's hope for the best.

yep lots of bloodand stingingness....... but I got through it.. it just sucks having all these bandaids on it
cheech:
Umm, aren't you gonna upload some pics on here?? In 'My Pics'?
Well it's 6:00am and I'm about to go into work... perhaps another day of rain? Spring is always so exciting with Summer right around the corner, but the rain can be a bit much by times. Two or three straight days of rain can start to suck. Hopefully I can spend sometime on the boards tonight. I have the entire night to myself!

There's sun here, finally...in fact, I gotta get off the computer and go DO SOMETHING , so byeee!
starsandsmokes:
... are you seeing wilco at that jazz festival that neko case is playing also?
It seems like I have been giving every ounce of strength to my other commitments lately. The whole band situation is beginning to take over again. I love the fact that were writing like crazy and playing three days a week, but something has got to give here. When it seems I'm losing my own personal time, ie. time spent solely alone, I usually start...

...but in less crass observations, I too need alone time. It was the strongest incentive to move out of the parents'. "And to look cool to women?" Well, yeah, theoretically, but I never look cool to women. Which is fine...I only need to look cool to the one right woman. The other boys n girls can think what they want.
I'm afraid I've forgotten the details of yr band....you play OUT three times a week? or rehearse? Cuz surely that's a BIG difference.

I've finally finished all of my tasks. I built my self a new P4 2.0 Gig last night and have absolutely no money left! The things I do for love. I have to go over to my girls parents house today and hook up/finish building their new computer, or my old one.
That computer has been with me for a very long time. There was...

well they'd better appreciate it! otherwise i guess you could always pee in their drinks or something.
my brain was okay i think after all the dope and stuff, i had to study for this quiz i had last week but i think i did allright on it. it's weird 'cause in someways it can help me to be a little smoked up when i am studying, i guess it tkes the pressure off and really, my attention span is about as long as my stubby little fingernails no matter what, so, it doesn't seem to be affected too badly..
thank-you i have had a good day indeed
i hope you have lots of fun building computers today!
but don't let them steal your brain...they'll try that , you know, they are gonna take over just you wait and see!

yeah it was a fucking sweet trip! *sigh* I wish I was back there
Still no pictures... Shit! It will be very soon. I've just taken on far more then I can actually handle this week. My girls parents are driving me nuts. I told them I would give them an older computer of mine sometime this week, this means I am stuck forking out loads of cash upgrading mine. Problem is... I don't really even need my computer...

Have you considered murder and a tri-state kill spree?
plasticfangs:
Woah, man! I'm sure you know this already, but you really shouldn't try too hard, man; I'm sure they want to see their daughter with a take-charge, assertive kinda guy. I know what it's like to try to earn people'saffections, but don't kill yourself in the process, ok?
OK...getting off the soapbox now...

I'm an asshole... No really I am. Please don't ask questions.
I just thought I would get that off my chest!?!
Why are people so mean and cruel to each other?
My pics will be up sometime this weekend... I'll do my best.

... the show was in maryland, it started out rough because we forgot the set list, and then had to make one up on the spot, and we played a lot of songs that i usually play on the mandolin, but i didn't feel like playing it that night, so i just played guitar. the first set we did a lot more of our slower songs, but for the second set we pulled out the good ol' country rockers and shook that fucker up...
My only REAL goal this weekend... drink a few pints and finally get some of my pics uploaded to this site.

Today was just another ordinary day - except I just received an email telling me we have qualified to play the NXNE or North by North East Festival in Toronto.
I think this could be a pretty decent opportunity to hook up with some real interesting people, not to mention the A & R contacts. They have accepted over 1400 applications this year, so we...
