Jamming with UC today was fun! Got to try his gear and guitars, and make some sweet music. Also, his dogs are the best.

Sounds to me pretty close to a perfect day, hope you have a great birthday man!





In other news, I think my interviews went well. The second one was pretty casual, within half an hour they phoned me back and said they want me in for a full interview on Tuesday!

I'M IN A BAND FUCK AGHH. One that I really really like, too. The guitarist/main writing force has been a friend for a long time and I've always wanted to play music with him in an official kind of capacity. Now I get to hold down the low end

I don't think Facebook vids embed here, but they've posted some clips of some of the stuff they've written so far.

played a show at our local makerspace last night, which i didn't realize existed in my city until we got offered the show.
it was really cool, they have 3D printers and lots of robotics stuff it looked like. max/msp and arduino stuff/classes. a really neat & creative environment. and we got to play music for ppl while they made halloween costumes!

an interesting night indeed...oh they also had a killer finger board/tech deck skate park, that i learned my friend/bandmate is fucking retardedly awesome at.

Sweet, I didn't know they had 3D printers there. Sorry I couldn't make it.
I feel like Benny is constantly full of surprises

dude thats awesome news!!

no worries! haha yea his new name is benny encarta

I just got a new computer, guys, and I'm fucking PUMPED.
I haven't had a new computer in 7 years and while computer (that I'm using as I type this) runs just fine I was long overdue. Very very pumped about it all.

[coldbrightsunlight]

We will be opening for Ought in Cologne!!!

It's been a while since I've been this excited to play a show!

So happy to be opening for the most exciting guitar band of the year!


FUCK YEAH!


Edit: kbit, that's awesome! I really like the music too.

That's amazing!

Bill Bailey was awesome, seen him live maybe 4 times now and always performed amazingly great. Now i'm drinking the last few Ballast Point - 'Victory At Sea' bottles that I have. Good vibes all round.

I feel like I'm finally homing in on my own tone. I played a little recording for a couple people with good results. one guy told me he had never heard a bass sound like mine before, and he seemed to mean it in a positive way. Felt pretty good and really made me realize I need to play somewhere outside my house. I was playing with a couple guys a few months ago but it was an hour away and I just couldn't afford the drive. I was feeling down about the lost opportunity but now I'm more motivated than ever. And I know 4 different drummers that would possibly be interested in playing. So time to get out there and get weird.

Awesome dude. Glad you're starting to get somewhere with your music goals. Keep on rocking!
