Watching the Matrix. Eating stuffing. Life’s good. Ooh, here’s the sexy bit. Heather and I wondered around Georgetown in DC before Wednesday night’s Firedean practice. We wandered the canals and window-shopped and searched for parking. Heather peeking through some art (?) in Georgetown. Georgetown canals. This was written to me a couple of nights ago:…

Playing with the great Firedean today got my ego back in check. I was mortified to run across something that was SO hard, with rhythms and chords that I just wasn’t familiar with. Heather and I retreated from Washington, DC, each in our own separate worlds, but with mine mostly focused on a feeling of…

Election Day has come and gone, but what a misnomer. I wonder if Election Day will ever again mean “the day on which you fucking KNOW who the new president will be”. All in all, I’m amazed at just how tight the race is – and wonder how we can be so firecely divided. I…

From yesterday’s Los Angeles Times: “WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Service has informed the NAACP that it is investigating whether the civil rights organization improperly “intervened in a political campaign” when it posted on its website a speech by Chairman Julian Bond that condemned the Bush administration’s policies… I think what’s at issue is our right…

I’ve got to admit, I’m on my last legs. October has simply been SO intense, and I’m ready for a couple of days without having to BE anywhere, without having to drive anywhere. I’m ready for a break. I’m at College Perk at the moment, and I know that I’m radiating fatigue. California. PA. My brain’s…

It’s been a really good day. We did an interview on WVCS, the local California radio station, and later we played with much vim, zest, and vigour at the Underground Cafe. I have nothing else to say about that right now, because I’m completely exhausted. My fingers are a little sore, my brain hurts from…

So – California , Pennsylvania . I Love this town – tiny and beautiful. We’ve driven through Pennsylvania at an ideal moment – summer cresting over into fall – California is hidden in a crook of the Monongahela River (one of the few rivers to flow South to North) mixed with mountains and logging communities. This…

“Hey Rob, Im sorry to say that we passed on the Ilyaimy record. Its obvious you guys are talented which is what makes it tough to say no. The problem is that I didnt find any true hooks in the songs, which is one of the major elements I look for in a great radio song.” Sigh.…

So, today was spent running around in circles. And not in a good way. Though Jeff saved my LIFE by coming out and doing a quick fix on the Saturn (it needed a battery!), we still ran the car over to his shop to get the rest of the electrical system checked out. Then return…

So – there is a deity, out there, hovering. He’s spitting on us. He’s doing worse than that. In fact, he might be a she. There’s a petty BITCH deity who’s really pissed off at us, and we’re not sure what we did, and we don’t know how we did it – but MAN, we’d Love…
