Uninteresting.

and got a twitter.

I think I might like it better than this old dusty lj. The short entry lengths leave more to the imagination an prevent me from feeling like an internet windbag. also there is so many cool people to follow. Really, Twitter is fucking dumb but its the future now and I say fuck it. at the end of the day most of the internet is fucking stupid but we use it anyways. We're all drawn to it for some reason. Boredom......





oh and porn, don't forget porn.

Michael Bluth.




Sometimes you look...


slothy.

I moved into my new place and I like it very much.
You should come hang out.


Also, tracked the Joyce Manor album and it rules. We're gonna mix it today!

I've decided to just press the first run of the Brown and Blue record on Create recordings. and wherever we can take it from there will be cool.

I love life. I hate work. I hate Hitler, he's such a stupid jerk.

So here it is up to date:

We have done the three guitars, bass, and drums for 14 songs.
Vocals and overdubs for three of those.
Today we hired a mariachi band to come in and play on the light and it went okay... we have a lot of cleaning up to do to their parts.
Now i have 11 vocal tracks left. which sucks.
annnd over dubs on those songs.

So much work done and so much left!
We have today and tomorrow left.
11 hours of work a day consistently since Thursday and continuing into tomorrow.

Also we have a halfpipe in our lounge which i mastered.
I love skating!
I also skated the half pipe stark naked! WOO! LIFE ON THE EDGE! ROCKSTAR LYFE WOO!

...whats that you say? pics or it didn't happen?

ohhhh theres plenty a pic.


time to make lunch.

The show last night ruled! CTL was so good my nose bled as I walked in the room. Joyce Manor was soooooooo fun. The other bands were all good for sure but no one got me too stoked besides comadre.

Got to hang out with good people and had a great time. A+ weekend!

Played a last minute show at Biko last night. So FUN!
Then woke up at 6AM to play on Snagletooth on KCSB. So FUN!
Now I'm at work. NOT FUN!

Saturday house show!
Next Thursday at DiPiazzas:
-Florida Orange Band
-Sunshine Factory
-Mothers Sons
-Brown and Blue

Then 5 days to rehurse a lot!
THEN RECORDING!

Yesterday we got a phone call from the glass puppets to do an impromptu show in Costa Mesa so we did. It was fun. This whole past weekend was ridiculous and it was way too much destroying of our own bodies.

In the upcoming weeks we have
-2 shows
-a lot of practice for sure!
-a trip to sacramento to record!
-get gear in tip top shape for recording

not to mention the steady full-time job i have now...


might not look like that much written down but it is.

My amp hasnt been delivered.
We have a show tonight.
Recording in 4 weeks and counting.

life is alright.

Tomorrow I head north yet again for good times and gooder friends!

So, Brown and Blue will be recording a new album starting on april 16th.
5 days of tracking at the hangar in sactown!
then days of over dubs at our producers house in van nuys then we'll mix it there too.
We somehow ended up with Thom Monahan producing this record which is going to be SO fun. He did all the Vetiver records, Devendra's Cripple Crow, Engineered on the Little Joy record, and his first paid recording gig was a live GG Allin recording. Pretty much, he fucking rules, right?

Now he will record brown and blue!

I got to see Nancy and Stacey and Patty briefly last night but i was so tired i ended up leaving a show early to eat and pass out.

bummer

i found out my bank credited a bunch of money into my account. stoked! not going to ask any questions.


Anywho I'll be home on Tuesday I think.

I'm currently using craigslist and social skills to hitch a ride home. I dont think I'm in for another 11 hours on a train.


I will if I must.


woo.

I own real estate on the last page of the album's booklet. I'm so happy.
Oregon has been fun. Shaved my beard. Currently sporting a moustache.
I'll be heading to Santa Cruz in a few days to kick Simon Elbaum(sp?) in the face.

Also, I'm going to go home and finish a record by tour. period. full car, empty car, this train is leaving the station.


Life is goot.

Everybody is miserable.
AHHH! to be young.

I used to take myself more seriously.
I wasn't as much of a joke, I liked it better.
The mirror was scary, and informative, and challenging.
Now it feels like a billboard for breast augmentation off the 5 southbound,
unimportant, irrelevant, humorous.
God damn, was I something special?
Was I just self centered, delusional, and superficial?
I feel to absurd to ever sit at the foot of genius and beg for inspiration.
I am the silver fox, we are the silver fox.

Going, going, gone.
Planes, trains, automobiles.
