Whaa?

I just saw a "you heard it hear first" on MTV about the band "Dropping Daylight," formerly known as "Sue Generis," a band we shared the stage with last year at the Oaks Convention Center. Remember them? they played to a mostly empty room for the other bands that were playing that night. And now they're on MTV. I don't know them personally, I met them, but weird nonetheless. They just seemed like another dime-a-dozen band like a million others and now that loser Jon Norris is interviewing them. Not that I give two shits about MTV, but damn. I am moving up in the world. I personally know all kinds of near-famous people. For example, "Oh My God" had a commercial on MTV which I saw about ten times, which played their music and talked about them. "The Actual" has music on the "Bewitched" soundtrack and are actually seen playing a song in the new Nick Cannon movie, "The Underclassmen," and are playing a couple shows with "Velvet Revolver" pretty soon. And the biggest example of my brushes with the better people came today when some members of "WUMPUS" actually came into the bar I work at!! They even talked to me!! However, when I asked for an autograph, the "lead" singer dude, Barkey, laughed in my face and called me a sissy mama's boy. He then poured his beer on my head and kicked me in the privates. When I fell on the ground in pain, he spit on my face and then took the gum he was chewing and tangled it up in my hair.



IT WAS SO RADICAL!!!

I know exactly what you mean. In fact I was at the same shows!

At one point I was hearing like six bands for the first time every week, and you (or I anyway) couldn't tell by looking or even listening which bands are on the first and last two-week tour, and which ones are six months from Best Buy shelves. (Except The Actual, some of their stuff sounds written for soundtracks, and despite being from CA they've been through here often enough to be "catchy".) But the music pulse here is definitely more alive than two years ago.

It seems like every few weeks a band I know gets their first barcode. Someday I'll be the one on tour. Ahhhhh.

Anyway... listening to your new CD and I came here looking for Lyrics. Thank you.
