I keep forgetting to mention... the first time I went to Mike's house (Through You singer, and it's also shared by the bassist and sound guy), I pretty much flipped the fuck out because I was getting the tour of the house but kept asking for the bathroom cuz I had to pee and when we finally got there, he was talking about Spongebob's face and I was ( Read more... )

So just when I was ready to quit the music business, amazing things started happening. My focus has shifted from sucky major record labels to a local band and I'm much happier. It's very weird because they have a song that's been rather prominent with them lately and it describes perfectly what's been happening to me this week. [Editing this to ( Read more... )

So some more BS (music work related) has gone down. There's been an abundance of this lately. It's stupid. But I guess that's how it is, and I'll just keep on keeping on until I can't take it anymore and leave the field completely and probably make way more money doing something else and all the idiots can kiss my ass. Anyway, things happen for ( Read more... )

Today I got a brand new (well, used probably like twice) Tama drum throne for $15. Cheapest I'd get that new is $40 (or $20 for an offbrand). And I got a pink Spongebob umbrella for $2.50. Thank you craigslist and walmart :)

WTF at things being off by ONE day. Like, if I'm lucky enough to get to work Warped Tour this year, it's still possible to also go to Marilyn Manson/Slayer and Ozzfest (I'm starting to like Lordi and Lamb Of God, in addition to the bands on the tour I already wanted to see), and I should have free tickets to everything (and possible meet and greet ( Read more... )

So I'm still a slight bit sick, mostly a (gross) cough. I finally got out of bed today because I had a very important show to go to. I finally saw Loreena! It was awesome, and my 4th row ticket ended up being a 2nd row ticket. This was at the Michigan Theatre in Ann Arbor, so some of you probably know what I'm talking about. I was 2nd row on ( Read more... )

For those of you who live in Michigan and know that I'm here and are thinking I'm ignoring you... I'm not. I got in yesterday afternoon but feel like I'm dying. I have a really really bad cold and I've only left my bed once (just now, to go to the post office, which was weird because I got recognized by two people-- my elementary school latchkey ( Read more... )

As you probably know, I don't really watch TV and especially not American Idol. So I only just now, like today, finally looked into this Sanjaya fellow and watched some videos and stuff, and... I like him!

Get ready for a massive update. I have a list.

So I finally got to go to Sublime, on my way down to Homestead to manage a weekend promotion at the speedway. It was so beautiful! And the food was so good! And while I was there I heard Janis Joplin and Regina Spektor. I ordered two entrees and two desserts, had half there and took half "home" ( Read more... )

I have an entry I'll write out soon, but in the meantime, if you or someone you know needs to buy tickets for WARPED TOUR, please use this link: CLICK HERE Presales are starting today but if your city isn't up yet just check back later. BTW, the prices will be at a slight discount from the regular sale. And more bands got added today, so check ( Read more... )
