Stocktake 01/30

Less the Citrus and the amp. I’m starting to see why people like Polaroids so much…

Saturday Night

After watching an almost-ridiculous penalty shootout, we headed over to Esmond’s where we had a discussion until 3ish in the morning. In any case, it’s confirmed that we’re playing Baybeats! I’m pretty stoked yo. And I have never done this but I am obligated to pimp out our Myspace here and now :/ Please visit [...]

The Fire Fight

Coming soon to a stage near you!
Hopefully a really big stage in July as well!
We’ll know by the end of the week.

This is Getting A Bit Ridiculous

So much for buying the Blueburst Stingray 5:

Now the money’s gonna go to an electronics upgrade for the Lakland… and a possible future Lakland 5. Sigh.

Aaron

I think AVA’s shirts are selling at Far East or some pasar malam. I saw this 50ish uncle at wearing it when I was at Suntec the other day, I kid you not.

Today

I think we had about 15 basses there. Fun times.

Woo Fusion

1200-1300 people (apparently). Wow. I’ve never seen so many Methodist youths in one place before. Could say more about the backline (I’m more of a 8×10 cab kind of guy, and the GK/Trace stack was too close to the stage ground. 1×15 cabs have terrible throw. 2×10 is ok but too little bottom end. Sigh) [...]

Two More Years

In two more years, my sweetheart, we will see another view
Such longing for the past for such completion
What was once golden has now turned a shade of grey
I’ve become crueler in your presence
They say: “be brave, there’s a right way and a wrong way”
This pain won’t last for ever, this pain won’t last for ever
Two [...]

Oh, The Glory of it All (pg 468–469)

    “As soon as I lay down I began crying. I could not stop. The crying was quiet and wet. It was impossible to sniff it back or swallow it down my throat. It just came and kept coming, like a steady leak. It seemed that something was broken inside me. It was not [...]

Cut, Suture, Close

Pain. You just have to ride it out, hope it goes away on its own, hope the wound that caused it heals. There are no solutions, no easy answers, you just breathe deep and wait for it to subside. Most of the time pain can be managed but sometimes the pain gets you where you [...]

Two Conversations

I was reading Mel’s blog when I came across this quote I hadn’t heard in a very long time. It’s from the first season of Grey’s Anatomy and the quote–along with my stitches from surgery–were where I got the name for this place from, though reading it on her blog had nothing to do with [...]

#57

I was reading one of the old issues of Punk Planet I had lying around when I read the inverview with June Panic. Here’s an extract:
bq.. **Do you think that the Danielson/Pedro the Lion/Damien Jurado crowd, who don’t fit in well with the Christian contemporary music scene of Amy Grant and Newsboys–or even the more [...]

We, The Vehicles

I think we can fly and swallow fire
Blow smoke and hold our breath for as long as it takes
Every hello is goodbye
As we exchange strangers and lies
For estranged lovers and time all love ones get held up
So I can stop running and the air can hum
The busy sister’s stunning, won’t she be stunned
By the infinite [...]
