OH MY GOD!!!

Thanks to everyone who came out to the show Saturday night! It was hands-down one of the best shows I've ever been involved with. Oh my god were an amazing band and cool dudes to boot. A nice crowd came out and were cool to all the bands. CSNVTT and Gadtrat rocked as well.
If you missed oh my god, you should definately make an effort to see them. They are led by the most charismatic frontman I've ever seen live. Truly a pure, original expression of art.

sweet.

a side note: Last night I watched "I (heart) Huckabees." A pretty damn fine funny film in my opinion. Has anyone else seen this? Hilarious satire on existentialism. It totally reminded me of Voltaire's "Candide." totally.

sad news, rock fans...

Our friends and heroes Iced Ink have pulled out of the big rock show on Saturday. This is bad news because:
1) this band is totally awesome.
2) this band's current line-up is breaking up.
3) I've told all of my friends...um...I've told my friend to come see this band cause they are awesome.
4) my chosen costume for the evening will no longer make sense.
5) I will have to accept their award on their behalf.

you can still come to the show, however, as we are introducing a new gimmick into our act. Would you like me to tell you what that is? I bet you would. Quit being so selfish and thinking about yourself all of the time. There is more to life than hanging on my every word. Geez.

we're back, ladies and gentlemen...

and just barely.
After a continuous hydroplane across the eastern half of the state, sleepeater made it back to soofoo in one piece. (Although I haven't checked my gear yet.)
Props to the poo for truckin us home in some dark, hard, dreary, foggy rain.
Yes, I thought we were going to die a couple times, but that just adds to the adventure, doesn't it?

Hey! way to go Phil's Pub!
No offense to Band from Earth or sleepeater, but Nokomis brought a nice crowd out to the show Friday night. sleepeater threw down all-gitfiddle-styley and left some dumb looks on the faces of some "metal dudes."

"Uh, huh huh, I thought you guys were only like, funky stuff, and stuff. Uhh. Like, Whoa."

whoa, indeed.

Eliminate poverty, eat a baby

There has been a change of plans.
Those of you driving to Rapid City to see our show, please stop and turn around.
The rapid show has been cancelled due to insurance issues at the venue.
We are very sad. However, the lovely, excellent Band From Earth has allowed us back on the show tonight at phils pub. we will open the show at 9, 9:30ish-

There are people who love me...I just don't know where

Last night, after an excellent rehearsal, we cooled down while listening to a recording of the night's work. After a few songs, Zach stated to me, quite calm and collected:

"You know, you really do sound like a retard sometimes."

thanks, buddy. I love you too. why don't you just punch me in the face while you're at it?

I want to smash your fiddle

I have a heart condition that renders me useless in spaces with oxygen levels above .463%. The hydrochlorine particles that I put in my Oh's for breakfast allow me to generate high masses of polyphony at any given time.

Have you heard the new Spooncat! album? It's excellent. I'm tempted to say fantastic. oops. I said it.
Hey Jeremy, my boss wants to know who plays the air hose on (I think it's the) 1st track?

other albums i'm waiting to own:

>wumpus
if it gets any hipper, it won't fit in a chair with arms

>she might be a spy
this album will flat out slay.

>hollander
joey's putting his English degree to good use

A Relapse (not so slight)

Our good friend and companion Jack has left us a present next to the toilet three days running. So close. So close and yet so far away.

The State of Oceania

In case you missed the speech, here is a short summary for ya...

"blah, blah, blah, terror, blah, blah, blah, freedom. (standing ovation)
blahty, blah, I am a giant dumbass, blah, blah. (standing ovation)
blah, blah, Rice is nice, but Rumsfeld's quicker, blah, blah (standing ovation)
blah, al quida, blah, terror, blah, weapons of mass destruction, blah. (standing ovation)
yada, yada, me and my buddies are making bank on this war, yada, yada." (applause only)
blah, over to my left is Soldier Johnson's parents. Johnsons dead, but ya'll give it up for his folks. we feel bad now, but the media will quickly shift the focus to happy things, and we'll forget all about it. But they won't... uh, I mean terror!" (standing ovation)

they should make an announcement like they do at graduations: "Please hold your applause til the end, idiots."

DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER
