Tulsa
Posted on | April 1, 2010 | No Comments
The last band I was in before I “went solo” (which stint included getting in TWO bands, but that’s not important. The motivation is a nice before/after line for me) was a band called Noisebin, which featured myself on bass, the amazing Jenny Christmas on guitar, and “Hands” Danly on drums. We were a great band and had a nice little run, but tensions and visions were disparate and we split the band up before we started hating each other.
I kept a few of the songs though, and this one, based off of one of Jenny’s chord progressions (C-F waltz) is one of my favorites. She started doing the C-F thing in practice, I followed her and started improvising some melodies on top of it. I had an idea for the chorus and the rest is history.
No, I’ve never been to Tulsa. I was writing a lot of stuff “in character” those days (read: making shit up) and these will always be some of my favorites lyrics. Filmed live at Grudge Match, March 17th 2010.

This is a new song, The Wrecking Crew, that I debuted at Grudge Match this past March 17th. Sorry I haven’t been around, recording mostly, doing shows here and there, trying to whittle away the Stupid and focus on the stuff that really matters.
Did you know you can download my album for free on my last.fm page? I always hear about people having last.fm pages but so far no real luck getting people to “friend” me and such. I guess it’s like flickr, do people really use it for anything other than looking at pictures and/or storing them? I guess it’s a bit much to expect the activity of listening to music on headphones while staring at a computer screen to have any social aspect.

Kill the band, motherfuckers! KILL THE BAND @ FRIGID New York with Horse Trade Theater Group this February/March! KILL THE BAND IS THE ORIGINAL, COMEDY ROCK AND ROLL, ANTI-CABARET! We are going to fuck your faces off!
Things are happening fast so we’re going to jump all over this shit. Catch us on our facebook fanpage to keep up with all the joneses! Feel alive baby! Do it!
COINCIDING WITH THE RELEASE OF THEIR FIRST ALBUM, this unpredictable, unforgettable, outrageously funny musical experience is both the band’s breakdown and breakthrough…. Part Lucille Ball on her 3rd bottle of 5 Hour Power, part Meatloaf, sexy with a side of silly… KILL THE BAND takes you on a cleverly comedic trip and performs original songs from various musical genres in this balls-to-the-wall, multi-media, performance art piece. Escape the normal, punch average in the face, burn your self help books on tape and catch the thrill that is KILL THE BAND!

fuck you, Jay Leno, you suck. you are:
* a dirtbag
* pathetic
* not funny
* a selfish, sore loser
* an asshole
* a whore
Jay Leno, you entitled prick, you gave up the Tonight Show and then whined and schemed and stabbed Conan in the back (just like you stabbed Letterman in the back) to get your way. I hope someone beats you with a stick.
