Punk band The Unstables just left here a short while ago. Jacob recorded 14 songs worth of drums in a single day! More like 5 hours of actual work to be honest with you. They sound great. So the next step is for Uber Terry to record 14 songs worth of bass. This should be done sometime this week. From there Hayden and Lindsey will have to come track all their guitars. Then Terry and Hayden for vocals. Hopefully all of this will go equaly as well and quick and we can get the first release from The Unstables out in the world for all of you to hear. Even better we hope all 14 songs turn out the way we want them to so we don’t have to cut any from the album. That will be mostly up to the band when they hear it all though. 14 is a good number of songs I think. Well, that is all I have for now. Time to relax a little for the tonight. I’m off like a bra.

Well, I wasn’t really going to start work on an album that I would consider my “solo” album any time soon, but I tracked a song this morning that is that start of just that! I have too many other things going on to say that this will be something I will have done any time soon, but who knows. The song only took about 3 hours to write, record and mix. I hate to perfect things and I hate taking too long on anything when it is my own stuff. Go figure. Imaine how much better I could do if I just took the time to develop and write a song properly. Well, I will never know because I don’t take myself seriously enough to care to work that hard on amusing myself anyway. Plus I love the sound of something that was recorded while be written. The flaws, the trying to play something right but not knowing what it is you are going to play. It’s the way I’d rather work. It’s far more real than the music you work on for years, record a million times over, have other people change around your ideas, blah blah blah. That’s so not for me. I leave that shit to the bands like The Plain White T’s (whom I was a couple years older than when we all went to school together mind you, not to mention the releationship they had with that band I was once in called Showoff that helped in some ways, not that I am saying they owe any success or anything to me or Showoff, I’m just saying we did play a small roll maybe and now this run on sentance in the middle of this post is done)(but wait….just how many years and times did those Plain White T’s release that damned Hey There Whatsherfuckingname song anyway….pathetic….really done now). So the album will be called Things I wake up With In My Head, because the song I did this morning was something I woke up with in my head. Original huh?! Should have it and anything else I work in posted on myspace at the Riotous page as soon as Myspace Tom takes all those dicks out of his face and ass and gets the site up and running proper so I can upload the god awful thing already. I hate that Tom bastard. I am done now. See ya!
