I didn't enjoy doing this
Apr. 11th, 2006 09:51 pmTonight I followed through with a very difficult decision made this weekend about the band. Unfortunately I cannot go into details over what transpired, other than to say I am very saddened it came down to this. I will say that it had nothing to do with the music.
I feel like I've lost two friends.

Nice to be home after a long day
Mar. 7th, 2006 10:23 pmI'm in bed, under three velux blankets and a thick comforter... my room is cooold. I've taken my little pills and drank a cup of low-sugar grape juice. I'm nearly ready for bed.
Earlier tonight I went to Chrissy's place and practiced for a couple hours. We went through a few existing tunes first, then wrote a new song. She's quite the bass player! All three of us need to work a lot more though. Personally, I need to memorize my fretboard.

tftd update
Feb. 28th, 2006 10:25 pmWe're back with a new lineup, after a two month vacation. So, for now Dara will beat the hell out of her drum kit, I'll screech & bang on my guitar and Chrissy will play bass and sing backing vocals Christina plays a Rickenbacker with a modified JC-160 combo and has performed with acts such as Bon Jovi. She grew up with Tones on Tail, Specimen, Pink Floyd, Alice Cooper and such, and loves our style.
Last weekend we met and played together for the first time in the midst of a torrential downpour. We were drenched bringing the gear inside but had a great time playing together.
Last night we practiced for only the second time.. So far it's working out very nicely. Dara was much improved over last weekend (having no mat to play on Saturday, her kit was sliding everywhere!), and Christina is learning quickly. We're going over our existing (old) material right now, such as Go Die, Porcelain, and Dazzle the Sun. We've slightly rewritten Guests for bass, guitar & drums only. We're nowhere close to being ready for public display but we've made a nice start after just two rehearsals with the new lineup.
Chrissy has many great tones on her bass and she digs fx & noise, which is very cool as far as we're concerned. And we are concerned.
So, our plan is to continue forth as a three piece, though we may make adjustments or add another player if necessary.
Next practice is Thursday @ 7:30pm.

rain rain go away
Feb. 25th, 2006 10:10 amok I need to get ready & go see how this new lineup is going to work out...
I wish my amp didn't weigh so much.

In a few minutes I'm driving over to St. Mark where I'm going to meet my cousins Frank & Lucy for lunch. I came out to them last week after they (I think) read me at my uncles funeral. To tell the truth I am a little anxious, even though Lucy was very supportive in her email to me on Friday. I'm sure everything will be OK.
So, afterwords I plan on hanging out with Dara (today is her birthday) and maybe we'll go see a movie or somfin.
Yesterday I met with a bassist who wants to join the band. We played for a little bit yesterday & plan on getting together next weekend -- hopefully with a drummer. If not my R-8 is capable for the time being.
Tomorrow morning I have an appointment with Dr. F and I guess she will make a determination on whether to go in and fix whatever seems to be wrong with one of the incisions.
That's all for now..
Oh I did cut my hair yesterday. it's not dyed yet however.

reflection
Dec. 16th, 2005 11:34 amI've been such a self-focused wastoid recently.. Speaking creatively, I've done nothing other than half-hearted jamming since our last gig. No poetry, no music, no writing other than here. I listen to my own work somewhat regularly.. really, it's not that wonderful. I mean it's punk and deathrock at times but there isn't much going on.. I mean I guess I write okay pop songs.. but I haven't written anything along the lines of Veil well since 1996. Porcelin comes close but the live drums I have recorded just aren't as tight and fluid as I'd like. Maybe I need to get another drum machine.. good drummers are so hard to find, and that's what I want -- or the ability to program the beats myself. god but I hate drum machines. Or do I? I don't know.
Honestly? I'm beginning to question whether I can truly consider myself a musician. I feel so uninspired.
This needs to change (but how?).
As does my health.. I feel like losing weight around my stomach is next to impossible.. it's unhealthy to think this. I just get so bored running on treadmills or walking by myself to & fro.
pfft. this post, like most I've made, is utterly pointless and lacking in content. waaah waaaah. woe is me.
