the state of the state

ooo... monday morning
has arrived. listened to the
8x10 show from friday.
recording is better than i
thought we played.
obvious flubs... dubious flaws.
certainly killer versions
of pope of mexico, engine, this
love won't let me die.
the stage is set for the summer.
must get iTunes together and
and mass duplication of cora belle.
working... i'm just so lazy on
sunday.
lisa and i schnoozed all day on the couch
with the world famous honey.
definitely a needed break from
everything else. but still.
tonight, i must catalog
and create some mp3's.
look at paying some bills and
seal the deal on some venues to
get the promotion machine working
again.
long summer awaits
will go by fast... slippery fast.
next show may be june 9th @ 8x10...

almost forgot,
the caleb stine show was incredibly fun
recorded that too... maybe i should post it.
loads of fun fun fun fun fun fun fun...
i almost forgot how great it is to be a side man.

live long revolutions

best of baltimore

so the rollingstone
says that they have
declared baltimore the
best scene in the world.
or at least,
the united states.
not my first choice.
was thinking to myself
what would they pick as
representative. the stuff
i thought would go was the
simple things.
bands at the ottobar
wham city
golden west
beach house
dan deacon
everything that it seems
they've reported on before.
am i envious of the named,
me being the non-named.
i don't think so.
non-recognition is okay
with me. caleb stine keeps
telling me to get out of town,
maybe i should. quit playing the
bars and start playing real shows.
that'd probably be something i should
do. touring this summer. oh
alabama
please
call me
i want drive
south and eat
some ribs.
dreamland bbq
you are my food savior.
the past few days have
breathed some fresh air
into my lungs about playing
some more show and creating
some more friends
making music, writing.
inching closer to reading
even more than i did before.
gettin' interested. this
should be a great summer.
a swell summer.
come on summer.
hi ellen cherry.
how's texas?
texas always seemed so
big
but you know you're in
the largest state in
the union when
you're anchored down
in anchorage, alaska.
leroy says, hello
leroy says, send a picture
leroy says, awww keep on a rockin' girl.

visualize myspace


i haven't really kept up with myspace all that much lately. there has got to be a better way to input yer information into that sucker. it's kind of like writing this blog. i start with the gusto and then my attention veers to reading news or thinking about something else i should be doin'. uh... so tough. but i'll trudge. i'll:
click
click
click
ecapskcab (when necessary)

but the evolution will be blogged. i know it.

music is an upswing... i bought kathleen edwards new one Asking for Flowers. very cool disc with a lot of mid tempo rock tunes and some fairly revealing lyrics. i've only listened to it twice but i must say it is havin' an effect on me... "asking for flowers/is like asking you to be nice." very cool line... there's a tune called "sure as shit" funny stuff. i saw her open for richard buckner a while ago... she was good... funny... foul mouthed.

more shows are coming up i swear it... and we're heading out on tour soon... wheeeeee... how would we not?

shows:

april 11 @ loads of fun Baltimore, MD
april 12 @ dawson street pub Philadelphia, PA
april 19 @ bertha's Baltimore, MD
april 23 @ vermilion Alexandria, VA
april 25 @ 8x10 Baltimore, MD
april 26 @ awesome grill Silver Spring, MD

uh.
