the waterfront

oh my you were
so strange to us.
we played our little hearts
out and you reacted slowly,
treachorously.
regulars brian and nick and lawrence
were there. thanks fellahs.
good times though. a bit loud
and i didn't wear my earplugs.

bad andrew bad.

iota. i really miss the iota.
i miss playing there. good crowd...
we got to play some extra songs.
timmy was good. i was good. played a lot
of banjo.

the banjo is quickly becoming one of
my favorite instruments,btw.
i think i'll be playing more of
it as i get more comfortable. in
fact i'm going to be practicing more
in a bit here.

we weren't selected to be on nine mile
records roster. sad.
we didn't selected for the winnipeg music festival.
sad.

mr. strummer

i won the 19 song
clash singles cd this
morning.

i spoke with andy, the producer
of WTMD's morning show... after
being the first caller and we're
on the phone and he hesitates
for moment... and says,
"I'm not sure if you're eligible..."

to which I responded...

"I don't work for WTMD... I am a member...
and you play my records... but
I'm eligible..."

he said, "okay" and then i won.

wheeeee...

tonight the waterfront...

tomorrow night the iota w/timmy bracken

grimm

shoot the lights

so i get this
email right? from
myspace... about becoming
a member of hitt music group
i check out their website
and start researching the people
on their roster
not a bad collection of people
but then it starts getting weird
half the people i can't find
then i google some names and make
some calls
bad reviews start coming in
so i liken it to sonicbids or
taxi
anyhow, a rep a calls me
to talk about joining as a member
and i'm skeptical
i ask about him and as far as i
can tell he gives me a bunch of lines
he's 19 and makes 100,000 dollars a year...
he's never had a myspace page...
someone will actively work to promote my music...

don't seem right to me...

19 years old without a myspace page?
really?
did i mention i teach high school English...
and the majority of my life has been spent with
people between the ages of 14 and 19?

really?
no myspace... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

anyhoo... they wanted 400 bucks
to sign up for their service and they would
be immediately sending "Without you now" to
CSI: NY as an option to get picked up....

really? CSI? One of my songs? Hard to believe.

I declined the offer.

oohhooohoooh...

setting the sun

putting together the
next june star disc

time musician are in motion
saving money
making contacts
getting back into the solo
acoustic circuit and the
austin grill stuff...

melon. yes you are.

burst out

and toward space
you're thinking
aren't you?

oh my motives
corpuscles and plasma
beat beat beat
pulse and drag
me to the inevitable
the pit
the dare
my nerves
anxious for the future
it's true

when my focus starts
to veer out from forward
there are no hands
on the wheel
the foot cannot
find the brake
neutral is an inside
joke
not even the curious
can laugh

regimine
you will
be my friend

how about a song.

beautiful shot

you are
a beautiful shot
you are
throwing rocks
you are
ending the game
you are
kissing me

so far
any day soon
so far
you've got inside of me
so far
as i know you can
so far
as i know

you count up
all that you got
by counting up
all that you've lost

before
we ever knew
before
secrets we hold
before
everyone knows
before
you've given me away

you count up
all that you got
by counting up
all that you've lost


good luck ellen cherry

yes the blog

hey blog
electronic buddy
speaker mouth of the new
age
dawning with
the type face of electrons
read recently that
on line reading isn't really reading
we're watching text.

hmmmm... not sure how I feel
about that.

okay i confess i'm watching predator
right now... saw it in the theatre with
my friend Steve Callaghan...
Steve, i know you're not reading this but
anyhow... it was a cool time...

excitement!

new music in the works... new fun times...

i swear...

back on blog

hello friends
a month gone by and no
blogggggggs
so sorry
hope not to disappoint
thanks to the tour people
pittsburgh
manny and the garfield
very nice people and indie
rock space... the talking
head and metro gallery
of pitt. he was excited
to talk to us about the talkinghead
re-opening. i couldn't have
the heart to tell him that we
could never get a gig at talkinghead.
in fact, funny little story... just
found out that our
march 24th show, confirmed with the
band wussy at the talking head
had been cancelled as Adam was not
"digging it." wussy contains
chuck cleaver of ass ponys fame...
we're now scrounging for another show
somewhere...

akron was swell... the mocha maiden
was a cool lil' venue... the funny part
was that it is a listening venue and the
people listened to each others conversations...
kind of strange... but the speedbumps were
very nice and played a great set.

chicago... first time ever in town and
we had a great time... our good friends
emily and morgan showed us around town... and
videoed a performance on the radio... yes... you
tube...



right on man!

excitement...

then on to michigan...
high jinx and low turnout... resulted in
getting paid with this...
