state of the show

so for the show on the 23rd, it looks like daniel is going to play with us after all. we practiced with him last night and several songs really came together with him adding noise synth wankery and shit. as far as him playing stuff more song based, well, he's not quite ready for anything too challenging, but the sound of having another person adding to the racket is pretty cool and he does have some good instincts. if i could just get someone to give him piano lessons, cuz ugh, that shit is so tedious for me to do. i've been working up some new songs and stuff, the only main challenge being the lyrics, but that shit's starting to come together somewhat also. i think i've given up on mikey. we had him over on tuesday, and he did manage to learn some bits to a song, but he also brought his date to hang out which was really fucking annoying even though he was a nice enough guy being submitted to some serious suckiness. anyways, the plan is to do some short tunes and some longer jam type shit, yeah that word has negative conatations, but whatever. we'll sound sorta like the acid mothers playing pop songs. it'll be neat. so plug plug plug:
