promotional tactics
like how the fuck? i don't even know. is there a hand book? maybe if we were any good it would help, right? so like whatever, we're playing a show. trying to get some more set up. how to get press when no one gives a shit, an unique and common delimma. perhaps the next record should be all about that! like failure on an entirely different level of meta-ness. anyway, whatever.
i keep having to remind our bass player that we are not a gay band. i think he's secretly become embarassed by us. i'm not sure. he's really great, except for when he's drunk, then he's kind of a pain in the ass, but in a cute way.
jerry is really hungry, hungry for some kind of way out, much as i am, but probably more so. i'll be really bummed if everyone decides to give up after a couple more months. i think the show will go well, even thought we really only have at the moment seven songs that we can play. i'm trying to write new material, but i don't really have a whole lot of time and inspiration. things seem to just come a lot slower to me these days, it's annoying. jerry has a backlog of songs that we could do, but is somewhat reluctant to share them. corey says he has stuff, but he's not ready to share them, or he's embarassed or something. both of them have come at me with like a song each, and i'm like ok, let's work on them, but so far we haven't really given it to much of a push. i guess i better give 'em a kick in the ass, cuz they're good songs, and a bit different from something that i would write on my own, which is a good thing, cuz i'm all about diversification. i just seem to be hitting some kind of obsessive writers block, cuz i was trying to come up with stuff the past couple of days, and i feel like the pieces are there, but i can't fit them together or envision who the arrangements should sound. and them i'm like stressing on what the sound of the band is gonna sound like, like is it too similar to other things, or is it not creative enough, stupid shit like that. i guess i gotta just delegate and go with it, or something, and hope that things turn out ok. i just feel like we're not spending enough time working and playing, but i don't think anyone wants to do three days a week.
