thursday nite update
ok, so like i'm at the damn jazz club. i took a vicoden earlier, it's pretty cool. vicoden and champagne is called a trophy wife and that's what i am, haha. anyway, so this damn jazz club is closing down, do to the fact that the owners got divorced and are desperately trying to sell the business before their lease is up at the end of this month. so in honor of the fucked situation that it is (for me, losing a quarter of my monthly income, haha, free time here i come!) us employees are gonna have a fucking party with a god damn open bar, fuck yeah. and we're gonna play, as are the bands of some of the other staff peoples! so mark yr calendars: Monday, April 28th - 256 columbus ave, san francisco. we're gonna be drunk, it's gonna be rad.
so like on sunday jerry and corey found a cool synth patch on the nord and we jokingly were like, ok that's our new techno song. so i spent tuesday night working on lyrics based on one of jerry's blog entrees. and then last night after corey flaked out on practice (cuz he's a bastard), me and jerry and tommi worked out a tune in like five minutes. it's totally perfect and nearly fully formed. like totally simply and melodious. the melody is fuckin' pretty as fuck, the lyrics need a little work, and it's gonna take some more work to make the bass fit and have corey not pout at playing something dancey or techno-y, but i reckon we got another hit single, oh yeah.
anyway, we got our Point Arena show coming up in like about a week or so, that's pretty exciting. we don't really know who we're playing with, or if anyone will actually be there. but whatever, it's gonna be a nice little out of town adventure, haha.
anyway, come see us play, and get drunk, it'll be cool. and go download poperratic's new record called the big hush at her website. it's got some really good stuff on it, and it's not as murky as some of the production was on her vagus cd. there definitely are a solid 5-6 awesome songs that sound just right on it with just guitar and voice, and the third track is really really amazing, i forget what it's called. really, with the right production and backing band, she could make a totally flawless perfect pop record. i actually haven't heard from jaye in quite a bit, not sure if my emails are bouncing to her junk folder or she decided that i'm lamerz, but whatever, haha.
gonna start recording nick's black metal record this weekend, and i got my new laptop coming any day now, thanks to mis padres! oh oh oh, and i went i made a big purchase with my new %0.0 apr green wamu credit card on sunday. i bought a B52 at100 tube amp half stack at the god damn guitar center, which was a pretty infuriating process that is actually still on-going. anyways, i'm not totally sure that i'm gonna keep the damn thing. it's loud as fuck, and the clean channel is brillantly bright and crstal sounding, like it's totally tits. but the distortion channels are pretty lacking. like, kids online are saying that you can totally play metal with the overdrive channels, but uh, i dunno think so. they are way not saturated enougth. maybe 70s or 80s metal, but not the metal sludgey messy hyper distortion i require. so i've gone and bought some new tubes, cuz kids online say to replace the tubes and everything will sound much better. so credit card again, i got new expensive ass tubes coming tomorrow. i'm not confident that i will still have the mega distortion i'll need, but i guess i can always get more death by audio pedals, or save up for something by metasonix, cuz their shit is sick. anyway, i'm gonna try to make the thing work for me, but i also think that the reverb thing in it is shot or poorly wired, cuz it barely makes any reverb at all even when turned up all the way. although, i wouldn't mind getting one of those electro harmonix holiest grails at some point too, haha. all this crap on my wish list, and i'm losing one of my jobs, great...anyways, things are good!
