we're getting a goddamned record made!
i finally sent the fucker off on monday, and got a confirmation call today from the replication plant that they had received it, and that everything is all good. the guy on the phone, i think his name was mario, he said that all our shit was very much together compared to what people usually send their way, and that everything was good to go. and he like the illustration by koak that we're using in the insert tray, haha. anyways, we're getting the things made by a company called CRAVEDOG that's based out of portland oregon. so i'm excited! all got do is hawk 200-300 of the fuckers and i might even break even! heaven forbid, oh the folly!
things are going well with the new guys in the band. it's not terribly tight yet, but it ain't no trainwreck, been teaching corey to play on the off-beat, shit like that. we got some pictures of 'em, should be posting them up in the next few days and such. basically the plan is once we got like ten new songs all arranged and ready and playable, we'll start recording the new record. i'd like to have a fucking laptop by then, but i dunno how long it'll take me to save up another two to three grand.
melt banana was fucking awesome, they played a cover of heart of glass, that was pretty cool. the next day i went out to guitar center and spent the refund from my busted amp on two new pedals. a digitech whammy, which melt banana guy agata uses a bunch, and a ibanez analog delay. they're pretty cool. my plan is to get a digital delay at some point too. it looked like agata had like 3 or 4 delay pedals that he used, so you know i be taking notes.
fuck the amp lab in san mateo. the guy there is a total doucebag. i took my shitty busted amp down there to inquire about getting it fixed, and he was like, i don't even wanna look at it, go away. fuck that guy. i spent an hour and gas driving down there and back on my fucking day off, so uh yeah, fuck him and his shitty business. i shall my vengeance on yelp!
anyways, fucking cd thing is coming, should be about three weeks i suppose.
