Last Show Of The Year
December 30, 2008, 5:32 pmJust wanted to write a little review of my own show (!), hey why not?… that I posted about last time. 12/21 at Koenji High. Every band was good, including us (I was told) due I think to the fact that we squeezed in an hour of practice and it worked wonders for us… but I have to say even though I’ve said it before, ALL HAIL THE GIMMIES… they were just fucking incredible as usual, but even more so… they did a cover of Kids Don’t Follow that was spot on perfect and beautiful, I could almost hear the cop at the beginning, “The party’s over, just grab your things and there won’t be any haaah-ssles.” And it is a confirmed fact that in the middle of the Saddles set (it was their CD release party remember) I quit dancing around and smiling and just stood there with my mouth open stunned by the utter rockin-ness of it and was catatonic for the rest of the set. Wow wow wow.
No Snazz shows in January, but some in February I think.

Is Anybody Goin’ To San Antone, Or Phoenix A-rizona?
November 4, 2008, 2:59 pmIt’s been so long since I’ve written that I’ve forgotten how to type. I have to jab my fingers at the keyboard and hope for the best. It will take me 2 hours to write this post, but so be it. There’s catching up to do…
First off, the Osaka show. It was good, but what I remember most was driving a lot. In Enocky’s van where the heater won’t turn off. Having said that, it’s one damn comfy van, and it couldn’t have been a better ride. And after all, I wasn’t in the hottest seat, that was the one Bob was sitting in.
The show itself was good. It was at King Cobra, a live house named after the ghetto-fave malt liquor. No, not really, but that’s what the place is called. The front stairs look like the back deck of Read the rest of this entry »

The Secret To True Happiness
October 23, 2008, 1:42 amTime management is for suckers, but I’ll tell ya something. If you’re busy as hell like me and you really wanna do the thing you believe you were put on the planet to do, you have to do something or other to make sure you do it. I spent more than 40 hours of my week trying to get money for shitsakes and how many hours do I spend playing guitar? Depressing.
So, here’s what I do. Playing guitar is the most important thing I do everyday (forget eating, taking care of my baby, etc.), so that’s the first thing I do. One hour. Playing country songs, working on my next masterpiece of a song, entertaining Nico with silly songs involving her name, listlessly strumming a minor chord and looking out the window, trying to play all those Led Zeppelin songs I learned when I was 14, whatever… it doesn’t matter. One hour with my hands touching the guitar and doing nothing else. Read the rest of this entry »
