booooooooooooorrrrrrrrreeeeddddddoooommms!!!!!!

so me and tommi and jerry all went and saw the boredoms play at the fillmore last tuesday. it was my 4th time seeing them, and it was definitely the longest and most varied set i had seen them play. jerry's mind was approriately blown, i believe. we really should have dragged corey out, cuz even though it's like a totally different language of music than the power pop he is accustomed to, i think they would have won him over. as it was, it was pretty fucking cool! saw a bunch of friends there that i hadn't seen in awhile, so that was really cool. the show was an exhausting two and a half hours with two encores, and this time it was more than just one hour long tune with maybe 4 or 5 variations. they actually have varied songs that they're doing using all kinds of of conventional and unconvential sound making devices, be it a monolithic 7 headed electric green guitar played with drumsticks, to that pad thing that manipulates sound via a screen that you muck about with your hands (i should get one of those!) eye had cast on his leg, so his jumping about and hollering was augmented by a crippled hobble, but that didn't seem to impede him at all. and yoshimi had bass pedals and a keyboard too. it was pretty fucking rad, and their younger drummer that they had is a total skinny little babe. but then again, i got thing for hot and skinny drummers.

so we've been working hard practicing and shit. really getting these new songs going. corey is totally ready to record. he called me up today and was like, can we record the new song so i can play it for my dad when i go to montana next monday? and i was like, uh, fuck no? and he's like, but it's my favorite song now, and i want something to play for my dad! and i'm like, well, it's sounding good, but jerry doesn't have his part worked out and i don't have finished lyrics, and he's like, well jerry doesn't need to be on it, and i'm like, whatever bucko. so i'm like trying to tell him that we're not gonna record anything until we are absolutely ready, AND i get my new fucking laptop computer. and he's like really wanting to have something to share with his dad to make him proud or something, cuz he hasn't seen him in awhile or something, and i'm like, well, we gots the youtube videos dude. and he's like, oh i dunno if i wanna show him that, cuz then i guess his dad will see that he's in a band with three total gay-bots, hahaha, cuz i guess that could be an issue or some shit. but anyways, we ain't recording until we're ready, cuz otherwise it'll be substandard, and i ain't about to make no substandard shit, czu we be committed to excellance, or something, hahaha. i relayed all this to tommi, and tommi was like, oh hell no, we ain't recording yet, i ain't got my drum part perfect yet on that new song. anyways, when that damn song is ready to go, it's gonna sound fucking wicked or something. i'm still sticking with the plan of starting in may, but right now i'm just trying to figure out how to finance the purchase of the computer with the savings i have and my damn credit cards (i got a new one coming with zero apr until january '09), but we're still talking about up to $3500 that i'm gonna be dropping on this including RAM and updating to the latest software of digital performer and shit. i just wanna be damn ready that when it comes time to record we're totally fucking tight and prepared, cuz it's always a million times easier and quicker to record and mix when you actually know what the fuck yr doing. the record is gonna be tight and under 45 minutes, and hopefully on plastic and vinyl by october of this fucking year. and then i wanna do another one six monthes after that. at least, that's my goddamn plan. i mean, it's not like the four of us our incapable of coming up with an adequate quantity of song. whether they be songs that anyone wants to hear, well whatever...
