So this is pretty exciting...

a very well known producer/engineer has contacted me and expressed interest in recording the next Retreads album.

His extensive resume boasts the likes of The Zero Boys, Toxic Reasons, Sloppy Seconds, Iggy Pop, Raw Power, Afghan Whigs, and John Mellencamp just to name a few.

We are supposed to be doing a split with The Riverboat Gamblers sometime soon, plus...

a blast from my past...

so 21 years ago or so, I was in this hardcore punk band.. I was 14. I played bass.. Pro Skateboarder, Jeff Kendall played guitar... some of our stuff has been re-issued recently... These two songs are not from the re-issue, but from another comp that's way out of print...

enjoy!!

so much to say...

wish I knew how to say it...

you know what it's like to really like someone, but know that as soon as you confess your feelings that it's going to fuck everything up?? I feel that way nearly all the time now.. not one specific situation.. in almost every aspect of my life... this is the closest scenario that I can...

Well.. that was fun....


I ventured way out of my element (even though this event took place at my work) to go see thirtyseven be a hair model.. I've never quite understood the whole runway modeling stuff, but I can honestly say that of the 4 companies that I stayed to watch, the one that she was modeling for was the one that seemed to...

You should check out some of my movie posts (if you haven't already done so). I've figured out the problem and the rips are coming out beeee-yoo-tiful!
tat2bob:
What runway shit?? I always miss the fun stuff. oh well... I wouldn't have been able to make it anyways. Had to wash diapers and give the lil guy a bath.


Nothing says partying like a rockstar like baby baths and diaper laundry. smile

.....does not play well with others


yeah.. I had my monthly eval tonight at work.. I knew that it was gonna be kinda crappy... amazing... all of the things related to job performance, I scored as high as possible... all of the things related to my relationships with fellow employees were shit.. I don't think I'm that big of a dick, but apparently a couple...

i'll let you know whether or not you're a dick. wink

i've only had one evaluation in 10 months. i was rated between average and above average on everything except appearance, which was excellent. this basically means i wear skirts every day. they told me i had to be more "out there" .. ie loud and gregarious. i told them i couldn't fake it.

privately, a drunken manager told me what i really need to do is learn how to be a straight-up bitch to everyone.
tat2bob:
heh.. That's better than my last review. My attitude/interaction with coworkers was great but everything relating to my job was pretty bad.

I guess I suck at what I do but I'm such a nice guy that they've decided to keep me around.

Or I'm a ass-kisser. Either way I'm happy as long as they keep payin me!

Oh yeah, Yats ROCKS! I was super excited when they opened up one on Mass Ave.

Yay!!!

I got an e-mail today from my old friend Holly. It's probably been 10 years since I've talked to her.. She's beautiful and talented and I miss her.. I miss early 90's NYC.. hangin out with Holly and Jesse at the Greendoor when Fur and D-Generation were new bands playing after hours parties in the bowels of the city. ahhh.. those were the days......
