Can I get a C, Can I get a M, can I get a J?

C-M-J

thats right, we were selected by the grace of something, someone, someplace, somehow to play the CMJ Deli Magazine Showcase Tuesday, 10/27 at the Delancey, 11:30pm.

It was completely unexpected and we are forever grateful to the something, someone, someplace, somehow, that even put our name into this event.

We promise to make it a good one......and if you ever fancy going into work the next morning shit-faced and tired....then please have a late night with us and come on out.

Speak to you before then.

NYC and Seattle; Which Shall It Be?

NYC and Seattle came out even in regards to best cities to see live music.....never been to Seattle, anybody got anything to say about it specifically?

Well, we are still working on our short Fall Tour.....we've met a few bands who are helping us get out feet in the door, and we thank and love them so.....

Nothing good on myspace tonight....

I am still indebted to books.......4 books to read a week on average........Ive got nobody to blame for myself......long story...ask me about it when I see you again....

Some good news happend for the band today....I wont spill the beans yet.....

Nite

Nothing's Going to Come

I've still been searching via myspace, nothing to report today, but Im still looking.
I've acquired a fascination with Johnny Marr. This all started this past Friday when Modest Mouse played at McCarren Park. I was not at the concert but I heard snippets of the music from my roof and since then Johnny Marr's intense and melodic guitar playing has been in my head all week. This prompted me to search in youtube for a closer look at this darling in action. In doing so, I stumbled across this video:


Or if this video does not work, here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1O2mExBZX8

He definitely brings a new level of creativity and energy to Modest Mouse.
I will be anxiously waiting to meet him some day.

Conclusion

So the conclusion of our brief study is that we all have to eat more breakfast.

That's all.

Ever Had a Train Door Close In Your Face, Even After Running After It

Can someone explain that feeling.....you are walking down the stairs underground in the subway station and you see your train just arrived, so you start walking a little faster and start leaping alittle more down the stairs as you try to avoid plowing anyone in front of you over....and so you run, you stick your hand out to stop the subway train door from closing...but you hear the door close and off the train goes......

Then you start recapping how if you had done things alittle differently, maybe cut a few seconds here and there from your commute to the station, you would have actually made it to the train on time.........

Oh the daily happenings of city life......

So, I did my myspace search thing and bumped across a band that did not impact me very much, thus, I have nothing to say today....but that our shows for the rest of are coming together.......the booking people of NYC have heard our call and they are slowly biting.

Stumbling

So who do I stumble upon my 2nd day randomly selecting myspace bands near my zip...but a band called, Matt Pond PA, www.myspace.com/mattpondpa. Never had heard of them, but apparently I am out of the loop...this band has record deal, have an upcoming show at the Bowery Ballroom and had over 400 hits when I visited their profile.

Their music is not exactly complicated....almost a bit too predictable and reminiscent of previous uptempo pop rock songs via a nice recording budget by big brother the "Record Company" Tongue in cheek lyrics were amusing.....and the singer's voice, who coincidentally is called, Matt Pond" had a voice that ventured between soulful pop to folk rock....

Despite not being exactly my cup of tea, I felt compelled to mention them because of a very simple reason....there songs made me happy for the few minutes I took out to listen to their stuff. I suppose this is why pop music is so popular.......its not complicated and latches onto a part of your human psyche that does not want to be bothered with thoughtful, intense, and complicated things.....

And with that.....I shut down my computer and returned to my world of cynicism, intense, and complicated things.

See y'all.
