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.

Comedians and musicians battle it out for your hearts at Grudge Match: Music vs. Comedy!

Each month Joe Yoga and team Music take on John Murdock and team Comedy in a hilarious, engaging, and provocative showcase of the fucked-up and the fucking amazing. At the end the audience votes, the winners get the trophy and the glory and the losers get shamed, and somehow have to face themselves in the morning.

Next show!

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.

Coach is confirmed to do a reunion set on Dec. 23rd at A Very Yoga Christmas, my annual Christmas show @ UNDER St Mark’s Theater…

For those who don’t know, Coach is me on bass and Andrea Dangerously (who plays in Stewart under her “real” name) on drums. We are the greatest drum and bass outfit in the world.

Well I haven’t had a post in a few days so here we go. It’s Saturday night and the fucking Yankees game is rained out. What the fuck am I going to do with all this beer? And all the energy I was going to spend cursing their souls and rooting for them to be humiliated and shamed?

Well I can tell you about what I’ve been up to. First, huge news, I finally got around to organizing my old mp3s. I put an album of them up on last.fm and you can download it for free. You don’t even have to be a member or anything! Just click that link there or click the blue button over in the next column.
=======>=======>===>this way>======>=======>=====>

If you have an album I put out called War’s End, this is basically the same one except I added three songs and pulled one from the original. This is how it’s going to stay. Joe Yoga! The Dreamless Sea! DOWNLOAD IT FOR FREE!!!

In other yoga music news, I recorded three, that’s right, fuckin count em, three new songs this weekend. I’m maybe halfway to having an album of BRAND NEW material. The album is going to be called Life Out East. Hoping to have it done done by April. So watch this space for updates.
=====

I also have a new video! Are You Tired of Me My Darling? This was performed at Penny’s a week or two ago. This was written by Cook and Roland in 1877 (!) and popularized by the Carter Family. The version I do is based off of the band Ida’s version (on the WFMU ‘More Music, Less Parking’ compilation you can get on their website. The verse chords are just G, C, D-C-G and the chorus is C-G-C-Am… well that’s how I play it anyway. Here’s the video! I can only upload them as mp4s because, fuckin, when i save them as .dv files they’re like 1 gig and take two hours to upload and inevitably my internet will spaz once and kill the whole thing. Anyone has a way around this I’d be grateful.

That’s about it. I’ll tell you more about what’s coming up, especially SCRATCH, on Monday. In the meantime, if anyone has experience with donation sites, like PayPal, and can recommend one, I’d like to hear about your experience with that.

Go Angels.
