"He's just crazy"

I feel like I'm losing my mind. I can't emotionally functional like a normal person. But what is normal these days anyway?

I need to get away.

Buhhhhh (music nerd content)

So today I bought my new bass head.

Ampeg Svt4-Pro
Korg DTR 2000
Furman Power Conditioner
6-slot foam lined road case

I set it all up on my 8x10 and my bass rig is officially taller than I am. I've got some time to get the levels just right before we play with Have Heart and Verse.

We had two shows this weekend. Friday was an early show with Decades from Texas. Honestly some of the most solid dudes I've had the pleasure of kicking it with. Best of luck to them on the rest of the tour.

Anyway, that's all I've really got for now. Check out Decades at www.myspace.com/decadestx or hit up their tour blog at www.decadestx.blogspot.com

Unhealthy obsession

For anyone who doesn't know me, I have an obsession with longsleeve shirts. It can be 90 degrees outside, and if a band has a dope long sleeve on the merch table, or I find a sweet one on the interwebs, I gotta buy it. The most recent purchase was the Blacklisted "Lady Justice" tour longsleeve. I have been checking the mail anxiously ever day for the past week and a half waiting for this shirt. It finally came in yesterday. Basically...it rules.

This is a completely pointless update.

Platinum P.I.M.P.S.

So I'm still sitting here at work, and Jawn tells me to check out this band called the Platinum P.I.M.P.S. Imagine a group of the skinniest, nerdiest white guys you can imagine, rapping about Tolkien, Zelda, and various other video games, mixed in with the funniest sexual references ever. That's the Platinum P.I.M.P.S. This shit made my day.

Platinum PIMPS

That's all I've got.

Why Japanese people are awesome...

Leave it to the Japanese to invent a chair that prevents swamp ass...
Swamp Ass Chair
It's called the Suzukaze. It actually uses your sweat and a minimal amount of energy to move a whole lot of air. I thought it was pretty interesting.

Saw Death Cab For Cutie last night. All and all it was a good show, aside from the hundreds of drunk fraternity guys trying to start football-esque chants. My allergies are making my head explode, and I'm stuck here at work feeling like total shit.

Oh yeah, buy me these Vox
