shjips

I went to ship an amp, an exceptionally heavy amp mind you, and the UPS store had closed 2 minutes prior to my arrival. I think that sets the tone for today pretty well.

aside from that, Andrew Kenney of American Analog Set has a new ban, the wooden birds, I bet it's gonna be huge for some reason.

party monster

this movie "Party Monster" is so over the top that I can hardly stand to watch it.

That aside, I had a moment today where I realized that a band I hated on for a while is actually quite good, sorry about that Lucero, you are actually quite alright in my book. I say this because I saw a movie that they did the soundtrack for and well, I appreciated it's subtlety, I am not sure how the records would sound.

I was thinking back on my first "Real" electric guitar today, a peavey predator probably from the mid 80's that my gramps bought for me, he hated electric guitars so in retrospect this was a big deal :D
thanks gramps!

this is my lion handpuppet

Don't hate cuz you can't relate.
I watched a lot of tv today for absolutely no reason, it was either the tube or sleep.
new tuning in play : EADFAE

I was watching newer dinosaur jr footage on youtube tonight, I was pleased to see "Out There" is being played, I always loved that song. I spent a good part of the day playing my jazzmaster as well.

the weather being superb

the day being stellar, sans is knitting, I just sealed the deal on a pre-cbs bandmaster head with a nice cab looks like this :

mm-hmm, tasty like biscuits & gravy on a sunday morning. Band stuff seems to have sorted itself out for the time being and all is productive and flourishing. I shipped a box to grand rapids today, funny considering I have been there like 40 times in my life to ship something there 10 years after I left that state. I feel the urge to see a movie, not on demand for once.

the final 4 are not cylons at all


I got this record today:
Marnie Stern is exactly what I'd expect Wyld Stallionz to sound like only better, love this right now. Definitely goodtimes music with gratuitous finger taps all over the place.

heavy amps = broken backs

well today has been interesting, I just had to cancel my band's next show and I am not feeling the best about, there was an all out weird conversation last night wherein I had to tell it like it is. Always feels like I am preaching, haha. The pastor of noise guitar.
Have you had Campbell's chicken corn chowder?
It's the rulingest soup I have had in a long time, might as well be homemade.
Sans and I consume it in mass quantities. Speaking of her, she rules!
I have been pondering amps a lot lately, my twin reverb is too much amp for me to really take to shows and I am thinking of going with another head/cab set up. I am milling around about 3 different heads, updates later.

Today I watched this Sonic Youth live footage on youtube
I love you golden blue


not sure how to embed them as of yet as I am just now trying to get into blogging anyhow.

2 posts in a row

instead of editing my earlier post I am going to add a few things with this post. Sans bought me this book and I love it.
and then there was this!

some stuff

new jazzmaster :P
and a new picture of thurston moore.
Picked up the jazzmaster recently and just fellin love with the matching headstock, it's sort of the coolest thing I have picked up in a long while.

other things:
I have had a migraine for a while and Sans made us some really righteous tuna salad stuff. Delicious.
I have other thoughts but for now I will leave you with this: You look at yourself in the mirror and wonder sometimes if that's really the way other people see you, as it is you are accustomed to your own perception of that view, maybe to other people your eyes look black.

saw a movie

It was rad, I don't know what it was called
"burn after reading" hmm
it was pretty fantastic, Malkovich says fuck about 8 billion times in it. Highly recommended. Got a Squier Bronco Bass for funtimes at the casa de rock.
Had some awesome scottish beer and friendly's

today was a gem.

xox to sans
