Good shit. I like that doom room get togethers are happening. That doom frog snake pisser klon shitter is album cover worthy.

Got to hang out with Mike tonight and listen to a mixed bag of metal. All the best to him and the rest of the band as they head south to record!
We're going to try to diy the hell out of some recording for a bit. Maybe we'll write something about bloody stump walking train track death. We'll see.
Keep up the awesome gents. You guys all motivate me to strive for bigger and better.

Faq! Is he OK? Well, no, he is DRT.... Dead Right There.

That is the suck. I think I told you about the cop who was telling me about the coolest thing he saw. He found two severed feet next to the train tracks. And THAT was not the "cool" part. He said that the interesting thing was that the blood trail walked off. So some poor SOB got hit feet lopped off, then managed to walk away quite a distance before they found him. JFC! I can only imagine someone hobbling off on two stabs going tic tic tic tic... Ermahgerd!

I've had this happen to me on a call before where two kids were joy riding on back roads at night and hit a horse. The horse had its two back legs severed at the knees and it managed to run about 50 yards off in the woods. It was easy to find though because it looked like someone made a line of 2 inch wide holes about 3 feet apart the whole way. Crazy shit. I felt so bad for that horse.

Best way to start the day off is by reading one of your posts.

It put a lot of pressure on the other two lads: the bassist because he always felt he had to do something unique and different, and the drummer because he generally preferred playing simpler parts. In the end I started hating myself and everything I wrote because of a weird variation of guilt. I began asking them to bring something fresh to the table, and they did; some excellent stuff. But sadly they moved back to the UK before we had a chance to fully move direction.

Handheld recorder and jam. When a good riff pops up, even if it's random or sloppy just record it. Even better if you don't try to rehearse it and just record your first or second try. Do this a lot and don't be afraid to edit. Throw out 9 for every keeper. If I get inspired sometimes I'll try to improvise a whole song just to see what happens.
This is good advice. Don't be afraid to throw away a lot of riffs. I used to try and work with everything and anything. It was stressful because I couldn't face the thought of dropping something. It wasn't out of arrogance. I was just determined to make shit work, and sometimes it just doesn't. The quicker you accept this the more accommodating you will be as a musician and more at peace with yourself.

Yeah, I don't do it anymore, hard lesson learnt. Also, I'm so off chops these days I'm more than happy to let others take the lead. I'm also one to just want to make things work, I love a challenge. The way I write though is basically a riff, think about where you can take it, then when you have a few parts, think about how to order them and how the transitions will go, and then I think about variations within. Usually at about that point the structure gets rewired as well. I love song writing and arranging the most about being in a band and making music to me that's where the real artistry is. But I have learnt to be democratic about it, as hard as that is, just because if I can't reconcile what's in my head with what I'm hearing I feel, I dunno, disappointed. I know that sounds arrogant, but I can't shred, so being flashy lead guy is out for me, I'm a solid riffer and ok noise maker, and if I'm on vocal duties I'm alright, I think my lyric writing is ok, but tied closely to that is the actual structure and composition of the piece, and that's kinda where I feel most comfortable. Like I said though, you gotta be open minded.
Last thing I was in we used the camcorder method. Shit is helpful as fuck. You end up discarding a lot but it keeps QA up as well as general band contentedness.

That is a good idea.

Yeah, I really dug Forestelevision up until about the 38 minute mark, then it got too King Diamond on me.

Fuck I love Windhand!

Here's a look at the T-shirt design our buddy Sean from Stereo Creeps came up with for us-



This trading of artistic services back and forth has been a great thing!

Badass. Make some stickers out of that too, please.

I don't even care if its good I will be tracking this down

Three Floyd's Beer is hard to get outside of the Midwest. You'll need somebody from Indiana or Illinois, or possibly Michigan to snag you some. They distribute a lot. If I want Three Floyd's beer I have to go into Indiana to find some.

Hmmmm...I will have to look for this next time I'm in Cincinnati visiting the wife's fam. Anybody know what style beer it is?

I'm also dying to find a way to try the Iron Swan Ale some brewer in TX did for The Sword.

And also this:

Finished up a new build for a guy whos been waiting very patiently!

More pics at the facebook page in my Sig. BKP stockholm P 90s, flame maple, korina body, mahogany neck with flame top, natural binding, pearl, ebony and recessed sperzels...all the good stuff.

Awesome TJ! What are those p90s like? Also Windham is streaming on NPR too:

They are nice, this guitar sounds monsterous. HUGE and fat but still has tons of bite. Neck is creamy without being midscooped. Highly recommend them. I use BKP in almost everything I do.

Thats beautiful man. well done!

that sumbithch up close is gorgeous
it really is a work of art

It's a saison, a farmhouse-style ale. Should have fruit notes and lots of carbonation. A little lighter and more refreshing than what I'd expect a High on Fire beer to be, but they are apparently hopping it heavily so I'm so down. I thought it'd be a double IPA or imperial stout but what do I know.
