More band practice tonight. Why? I can't play a goddamned thing until I crank the delay pedal and bust out a slide. Then it kinda sounds like Captain Beefheart "Safe As Milk" mixed with Flying Luttenbachers minus the craft and imagination. But it still has attitude, goddamnit!!! The fucking loser/hermit who pens classics like TEENAGE AMERICAN GIRLS (JUST AREN'T KILLING THEMSELVES ENOUGH) more than makes up for lack of talent with attitude. Things will begin to pick up after I recoup from buying the Fender Jazzmaster. Oh, and the Korg. Yes, and the P.A. Wait, I think I need some tremelo effects, too. Kissing paychecks goodbye. Throwing the sweet paper into the wind for things that buzz and pop with delight. The FUN portion of my finance dept. had an easier time when I was just a FAN of music. Now that I'm dicking around trying to CREATE nonsense...I can't even suck enough dick for Ramen Noodles. Oh wait, I also forgot that I need a four track and a decent mike. Guitar lessons, too. Anybody wanna pay me some money to do dirty things to them??? Or you paying me money to do dirty things to ME??? Take a walk on the wild side???
On a lighter note, Bubba Ho-Tep was a let down. Maybe I put too much stock into the release of Bruce Campbell movies. For christs sake, the film is called BUBBA HO-TEP! What could one possibly expect??? His one-liners were few and far between. Especially with the combination of forty years worth of Elvis talk PLUS the forty or so years worth of Bruce-isms. I gotta have me something like:
"GOOD...BAD...I'M THE GUY WITH THE GUN."
"YO SHE-BITCH...LET'S GO!!!"
Just throw me little slices of that and I'll be happy. The movie just seemed to drag. One should expect more from the creator of Phantasm....WHAT THE FUCK AM I TALKING ABOUT??? I got EXACTLY what the creator of Phantasm would deliver! My feelings toward this film are pretty similar to my feelings towards most films these days. I just don't get into watching movies anymore. I haven't finished the last dozen or so movies I've tried to watch. This was usually a problem I had with books. My attention span is shrinking past the already intolerably low levels. I can't even finish trash films like Pink Flamingos. How does one cure this problem??? For fuck's sake....IT'S PINK FLAMINGOS!!! Help me, guys please!!! I should and must be able to finish this piece of shit!!! Direct me to some audio help tapes because lord knows I won't finish the book.
This guitarist friend of mine gave me an old Hammond organ. It has one of those SUICIDE style drum machines built in. Plus the Leslie Speaker unit is still intact. It needs some minor electrical work...but after all of that!!! YIPPEE!!! Go Leslie!!! Let's cover Frankie Teardrop and scare the shit out of the cover band next door in the space!!!
1) Should I pick up a drug habit? Why or Why not?
2) Is it wrong to try and communicate with the deceased Lee Van Cleef? Why or why not?
3) Should Kurtz put on a Hobgoblin costume, cut a hole so his tacklebox could hang out, and then run through a Space Museum when a bunch of sixth graders are having a field trip??? Why or why not???
SOUNDTRACK OF THE DAY
Holly Golightly "Won't Go Out"
T-Rex "Buick Mackane"
Rolling Stones "Can't You Hear Me Knockin?"
X "Beyond & Back"
The Cramps "Garbage Man"

"I think television's become a downright dangerous thing. It has no moral barometer whatsoever. If you want to talk about something that is all about money, just watch the television. It's damn dangerous. TV does not care about you or what happens to you. It's downright bad for your health now, and that's not a far-out concept. I think watching the TV news is bad for you. It is bad for your physical health and your mental health. The music business looks like, you know, innocent schoolboys compared to the TV business. They care about nothing but profit. They will make a movie about murdering their kids, you know? And they'll put the guy who killed them on TV. And before long, he might even have his own show.
I don't think you should actively kill yourself, btw. I think you should pick up that Four Freshman box though. if they got the Five Neat Guys box, you should score that too. Do painful white doo-wop, not drugs.
I really wish there were more decent people in Toledo. I realy do.
