so the band is finally starting to move forward. we are recording a rough demo next week of just 3 or 4 songs to get out to some clubs that have asked for one... our first show will probably be in San Diego or in OC, though we're working on hopping on with established nationals that we have contact with. I feel like we're ready....

sweet, are you guys playing any shows in the So. Bay?

I'm not saying the lady should be burned at the stake, although.....
I can't say that she deserves to die or rot in hell because you're right I don't know the reasons for her actions but I also don't know what she thought justified doing that to her child. I don't think it's ok for her to feel she needs to kill her baby, especially in a washing machine.
alexkid:
we haven't got anything confirmed yet. you need a demo and about 40 days lead time unless you know someone or a club needs somebody... this is for a good club, and in the summer its harder because of all of the touring. we could play at shitty bars tomorrow but I think we're all way over that. so we will try to get on with friends and nationals that we know... kinda skip out on the pay to play part of it. i'll keep you posted.

today is turning out a lot better than yesterday... got my mop taken care of, some new 2G plugs, and I'm going to go see some trashy rock bands play in the LBC tonight. not bad.

wow... no I didn't get it from that. I took it from a list of bandnames that my band had made up to argue over... it was a nintendo game in like 1985.
koleeta:
I'll be back in like two days, or maybe even tomorrow. I just wanted to freak everyone out, but my membership really will expire tomorrow.

I think if I went away my name would just be grey on your friends list.

ok i'm going to use this to preach/vent for a change.

this week i've had to deal with the end of my 6 1/2 month relationship. i've had to deal with my grandmother losing her leg and not being able to get back to ohio to be there with her. i've been feeling really stressed out about money and last night someone stole my visa...

yeah... and believe me for a few hours it almost did put me in a place "more or less drastic". sometimes it feels like god or whatever is just there to get you... or some cloud sitting sadist. Anywho...

Thanks for reminding me that i never got to IKEA wednesday. I've decided to make you my first SG friend...i know you're overwhelmed by the honor, but do try and keep it together.



koleeta:
oh are you kidding?! I AM honored. I love being added to friends lists, it's super.
IKEA was crazy on Wednesday. So many people were there I was beginning to wonder if it was some kind of national holiday that I didn't know about. You would think these people would have work at 1:30 on a Wednesday but I guess not. I saw some parents with their kids too, I was like "GO TO SCHOOL! go to work! let us college kids buy cheap furniture!"

so the day started out as lousy as any this week... but then a door to door salesmen came and I bought a subscription of working mom for the womens medical clinic in Carson for the next to years and i just feel a lot better... this break up has been taking its toll on me and i guess i needed to remind myself that...

upon further reflection... i really shouldn't have spent that 25 bucks.
koleeta:
I can beat that. I spent $74 on magazine subscriptions, then I decided that I needed the money more than the actual reading material so I tried to cancel them. I now have no $74 and no magazines.

I just got out of a four year relationship, I feel your pain. But I think for me, it was a good decision on my part.

what's with the christmas movies? not that I don't like christmas movies (Oddly enough, I love christmas movies), it's just unusual.

I just read back a few journal entries ago (I'm not a stalker, I just like reading journals). Your stoner roomate who sells kniives by appointment? Is he still doing that? I find it amusing because I used to work for Cutco, for about two weeks.

i have been reading this book called "Cunt: A declaration of Independence" by Inga Muscio. I find it to be really powerful and positive and I've been recommending it to all of my women friends. If you are a woman or man who loves women (be it lovers, friends, mothers, or sisters.) I suggest picking it up. It was originally published in 98 but the...

so a month of me trying to be a supportive "just friend" has finally taken its toll and now i'm "just bitter". I think the best thing for both of us is to back off for awhile.

alexkid:

week one of the break down break up is over and i finally have some time to myself to think about it and work on some music. if there is one thing a broken heart inspires... its bad poetry.

i love the zombies

the Zombies are one of the most underrated '64 Brit Pop bands out there.... and such great -break-up -I'm- a -sad -boy music.

you know a band is great when you can see them 4 times in as many years and only have them get better... this is the case with The Faint, who absolutely ignited onstage last night at Henry Fonda Theatre in Hollywood. I swear that band has the best stage show ever. Les Savy Fav opened and were excellent as well...in their own ugly but...

sending out resumes for real work because this job ain't cutting it and my stoner roommate makes more selling knives by appointment.

buying a bike or scooter so i can get on the freeway... public transit in LA pretty much sucks. I'm either getting a Yamaha Virago 250 or Aprilia Sacrabeo 150... the Virago is a motorcycle and the Aprilia is a scoot/cylce hybrid. Any...

so I saw Bright Eyes w/ Arab Strap and Paperback (guy from Pedro the LIon) on wednesday night. Arab Strap was disappointing to say the least, but Bright Eyes more than made up for it. I was really disturbed by how many little girls were there just to see Connor or to be seen by their peers...no interest in the music. These girls behind us...

so I was really frustrated by practice last night and my new band in general... firstly, I just auditioned for them when I got to LA county and wasn't expecting to get in as they'd tried out like 10 vocalists and i'm really a gutiar/bass player trying something new. Now two months into the song writing process i'm still finding my voice and experimenting with...
