I Was So Much Older Then, I'm Younger Than That Now
well well well. our first 3 songs from An Army of Lovers Can Be Beaten have been mastered and are up on our Myspace. there's still a lot of work to be done but we're getting there. last time in the studio did a solo run-through of Billy, a kind-of old tune, kind-of atypical for us but i like the lyrics and it offers a nice changeup in the running order. layered some warped drone Casio, piano and a couple vocals and it was pretty much done. then puffed up Light Makes Shadows with choral harmonies and backwards piano and it sounds lovely. just need to drum up some more $$$ and we can get back to mixing and tracking the last 2 songs, which have finally taken shape in rehearsal. money money money, why are you so hard to come by? no shows for a while, not until June 13 at Lit, but we'll keep you posted.

anarchy in the same old way
i just watched the Sex Pistols perform Anarchy in the UK on Leno. it was alright i suppose, but nothing better than a good pub band could do. and it is a bit depressing to see John Lydon so bloated and old now. he still has an undeniable charisma though, even if you can tell he really could give a shit about the lyrics or song anymore.
it bores me to even try to formulate a moaning "oh my god punk used to
mean something" rant - what a cliche anyway - but i'm sure plenty of people will do so on their blogs and myspaces and other useless mediums of "communication" tonite/tomorrow.
as for me, i just put on Aphex Twin.
tonite i did vocals and guitars on
our new version of Electrocute. it is just like the olld boss but better than the old boss. trust me. took about 3 hours. not that i'm bragging or nothing.
had a sloppy, drunken but fun rehearsal afterwards. gotta work off the studio pizza somehow. played YourBlood... for prob lilke 12 minutes. seemed like an hour. troubling thing is i think a lot of it was quite good
i need a Halloween costume. i was John Lydon on Saturday. maybe the Pistols being on tonite was a sign i should repeat.
maybe this is a total drag.
