another long and stupid night... sitting in the cage... kicking to some neil young "trans". trans is great, it is the most reviled of his records, but i don't know why, its super cool. got a gig coming up, which is good, great even. not with the zero return, but with arc, which is weird. well, not that weird. what is weird is that zero return used to be just me and arc, and then i kindof took the name for what i was doing musically with our friend ben, and now me and ben have a drummer named mike and have turned into this rock & roll band, whereas in its original form zero return was way more experimental. maybe arc and i should keep the name, and find a new one for me and ben and mike? who knows. i think maybe me and arc should find a new one. we haven't been playing that much of late, due to just, y'know, the way life goes on, so this is almost like a rebirth for us, musically.
yeah. so the show will be on the 25th of january, so we have 8 weeks to figure out our gear, figure out a set, figure out just how to freak those mutha's out. I think it'll probably be at 'the church of pointless hysteria', but i'm not sure. It'll be fun. i think we need to start getting some shit together. I want to go down to burning man next summer, so we should have a music set together to go down and rock there, freaky styly, y'know? it feels like the right time for that trip.
today we jammed, arc and zuzu and myself, zuzu being the pretty and wonderful lover of mine. it wasn't long enough though, we only got a chance to play for an hour, but it tasted good, a nice thing to do before locking myself into my stupid office for hours on end. so pointless. but it pays well.
if only there was some way to put into text the space in my brain right now. all i really want to do is look at porn, or something. because its twenty past ten p.m., and i've been here for too long, far far too long, I can't think, or anything. but i don't think i should start looking at porn at work. that seems like the one thing i could do that could actually get me fired, and that sure would be stupid. because i need this money, and i also need the experience of working somewhere that ISN'T some shit retail or coffee job. i just hope that my brain doesn't melt from this place.
MELTMELTMELT
speaking of melt....
zuzu and myself saw this great band the other day, "melt banana", the tightest, craziest band ever, just insane! japanese experimental hardcore type stuff, full of starts and stops and vicious white noises... and so cute! amazing. streets opened up for them, it was at the picadilly pub, which is a pretty small place, not bad though, a decent enough place for a show. s.t.r.e.e.t.s. is like, the best band in vancouver right now, i swear. they rock. they rock so hard, every song is about skateboarding, and they are kicking out punk metal like its nineteeneightyseven! harmonized lead guitars, "hey everybody grab yer skate and lets go!!!".... good action on that band. they could be, like, the next dayglow abortions or something. which is a pretty hardcore way to live, but if you can hack it, its probably a pretty good time.
