I like 'em skinny and stoned

Sometimes when my dad and I are in Chapel Hill [and here 'sometimes' means thrice] we do this:
get a newspaper. Then see what bands are playing at the Cat's Cradle. Then we read the three sentence summary of this band. Then we go see this random band for about 6 dollars. Most times they suck but you can peoplewatch. This is one good thing about ( Read more... )

i must say, if the music business ever saw this entry, they might have to kill you.
how dare you figure out their system!

haha but seriously, this entry=amazing.

haha, i'm not so sure amazing is the right word. i know the music business prowls livejournals to see who has caught on to their phrasing, so keep it on the hush hush. the D.L. the low down. the low low. the sweet n' low. keep it quiet.

There would be a guy singer, who plays guitar well. A pianist who also plays guitar when needed. A drummer that can also play various hand drums besides the set. And bass. The band would incorporate both the influences of Wilco and other bands of that sort, and Cuban jazz, combining to create a sometimes funky sometimes melancholy sort of rock and roll that dwells in its complexity behind a purposefully simple seeming facade. We would constantly make use of jazz scales in a secretive manner, so as to have a slightly odd feel to the music but from a hidden source.

Wilco+Cuban jazz=klsdfjadlkfawesomecool. I'd buy the cd, er.... your cd. I like the hidden complexities. Maybe you need to start writing songs, you music theorist, you.

I like how Gabe casually switched from using "the band" to "we". Starting a band, Gabe?

haha, I think Gabe is starting a band. Let's join!

I'm pretty sure he has to ask you before you join, I don't think you can just decide to be in someone's band.

I'm pretty sure you suck, Matthew Brian...Detective Judge slash cat lover!

Well guess what? The magnifying glass gavel is about to come down on top of you Cranford!

I HOPE YOUR CAT TURNS ON YOU AND ATTACKS. Just like Siegfried. Or was it Roy? Now I can't remember. The point is, you dance with boys!

boris_thespider January 26 2006, 04:45:33 UTC

The point is you result to petty name calling. Actually you kind of started with that. No progress or evolution, that's your problem. I would come back spitting dazzling wit right in your face, but I think it would be overkill, you've already shot yourself in the foot with those shabby insults.

somethin_hot January 26 2006, 22:10:03 UTC

Actually, if you look at my comment, I think you will realize that I did not, in fact, call you any names. I simply pointed out that you dance with boys sometimes. Petty? Yes, probably. Shabby? I THINK NOT!
