Tonight tonight oh oh

Dan In

So I woke up to my alarm going off tonight followed by some music wafting through the house like the sweet smell of bbq on a lazy sunday afternoon. I thought it was the tv, but it wasn't so I went out the back door of the house to see if someone was playing music in our yard, but the sound actually got less and less as I stepped out onto the back porch. Then as I wiped away the sleep from my eyes I realized it was jay singing an unfamiliar tune. So I started doing the dishes, cause they were piling up, and jay came up stairs. He told me he had just written a new tune. He told me it was the one he was playing. So as I ate and did the dishes, I listened to him sing the song. I took a shower and when I was done bill had just gotten home, so we all decided to go get some beer and play for little bit.

I wasn't too hyped on the idea of playing, we played last night and it sucked, in my opinion, it just seemed like we were all out of sync. So I wanted to take a break, but jay seemed really eager to hear what kind of bassline I would write for his new song, so I promised I'd come down and play it for a little bit. I think my unconscious mind had already worked out a bassline, cause it only took me like 5 minutes to come up with something solid, that I can work with. I don't think I'll deviate too much though, I like how it sounds. We played a couple more tunes, but I had to roll to work. So here I am at work.

Later today (cause it's saturday) I think we're gonna have a drummer come down and help us with some of the songs.

I'm diggin the new logo. I can't wait to play out, I'm getting bored of just practicing all the time...short attention span or something.

Gripes

Billy says:

I'll start with myself - I have a short temper.

Dan is paranoid.

Jay is a defeatist.

We all get bored easily.

Jay's friend Matt was over last night with his girlfriend Tess. Matt has heard Jay belt out songs before but he wouldn't sing in front of Tess at first. ARGHHHH!! The killer is, the songs are written for vocals, without the vocals, they sound really repetitive. My new stance is, sing or I'm not playing. Not to be a dick or anything, but I don't like playing them without the vocals over them. It's time to move on.

What does my paranoia have to do with anything, before you photoshopped the picture I could've gotten in trouble, buffalo=small town. I could get fired for promoting the compitition, or atleast blacklisted, okay so I'm paranoid. As for bill saying he won't play he's half joking, i think, but we do need jay to sing the vocals all the time, in fact I think we all agreed to sit down and write some lyrics and finish up some of the 12 songs we've written.
