Two weeks until the show...

Narwhal practicing for our show in two weeks. That's me on the bass, which isn't my regular role, but, eh, it came out alright. A few additional pictures are available.

Life Begins Again

As I told you two weeks ago, the Jimmy Chamberlin Complex album is really, really good. I suggest you grab a copy ASAP.

Possible amp replacement

I think I know what I'm going to buy to replace my Crate 30w --> a Tech 21 Power Engine 60.. but only if it's loud enough.

Eyes and ears

I think I may may buy Tiger at the end of the summer, before I move.

Last night at band practice, my amp finally said, "you know what, I suck, and I don't want to play your brand of grunge-influenced rock anymore. I'll stick around as a PA subsitute, but no more distortion plz thanx."

So, the search will begin for an adequate replacement.

Exchanging some e-mails with Carrie this morning re: my trip next week really puts me in the mood to get my ass up there.

Dragging my feet for no apparent gain

I. am. so. upset.

The _only_ reason I dragged my ass out of bed this morning is to come to work and talk about the Lost season finale last night with Jaime. But he decided to be a no-show. So I'm stuck here because someone needs to be in the offices, but I'm pretty run down.

One of those random music surveys

1. Of all the bands/artists in your cd/record collection, which one do you own the most albums by? -- Counting the box, I'd probably have to say the Smashing Pumpkins dominates my CD collection, followedly closely by Ben Folds and Soundgarden.

2. What was the last song you listened to? -- "Pardon Me" (Incubus) on the radio this morning.

3. What's in your CD player iPod right now? -- Oh, something like fifteen-hundred songs.

Babelfish Meme - Results

Answers to babelfish meme.

Song 1: "Muzzle," The Smashing Pumpkins, from Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.
I fear that I am ordinary, just like everyone. To lie here and die amongst the sorrows, adrift among the days.

Song 2: "Ohio is for Lovers," Hawthorne Heights, from Silence in Black and White.
Hey there, I know it's hard to feel like I don't care at all, where you are and how you feel, with these lights off as these wheels keep rolling on and on. (And on and on.)

Me and Pet Sounds on a Sunday

I found how we will sell The Cost of Being Poor: CD Baby.

Happy Sunday everyone. At the moment, it's me and Pet Sounds, and I dig it.

Bleed to love her

Been listening to the last Fleetwood Mac album, Say You Will, and although I didn't like it the first time through, I'm liking it now. It's not super awesome, certainly not Rumours or the self-titled one, but . . .

Anyway, I just switched over to Speakerboxx. Just because that's how I roll.

Oh man, I'm still geeking out about it!

I got to see The Incredibles this afternoon. I loved it, predictably. Jason Lee is a great super-villain, because he's ... he's effin' Jason Lee, dammit. Anyway, most of you are probably going to see it despite my endorsement, but for the few that inexplicably were unsure about a Pixar movie ... just go see it already.

It's a CD of mid-90s rock

I left work early yesterday, feeling kind of weird. I still feel kind of weird.

Millions of peaches

Piles of CDs (1)

I decided to sort through some of my jewel cases today. I wanted to alphabetize the ones I didn't want to sell on Half.com, and, no, I'm not kidding.
