don't feel bad, i'm bored of my blog too.

things have been slow. this is joel pack playing his guitar.


that is joel stevenette. this was a joel² session. below we see craig poole. that is actually his normal face. he always looks like that.


these are the neon trees.


here we have two pictures from that latest appearances by paul jacobsen and the madison arm.
these shows were so good that you are stupid for not being at them. unless you were, then you are quite intelligent.


so yeah, did i say that things have been slow? i have a weird job that way. weeks and months of barely being able to find time to get gas in the car gives way to 3 weeks of basically nothing to do. luckily, i had someone who was willing to rent my studio, thus taking care of most of the rent.
but now i'm back to work. you'll never guess what i get to do this week. that's right, im staring down the barrel of at least 2 solid weeks of mixing. hurray. im not complaining, at least not as much as im capable of.
i will be mixing albums/eps for her and them. so yeah, back to work.

also, may i just say that the other residents in the building in which i work are such complete, well, i best not say it, but let's just say they are making me insane. surely someone at the top of this company must have sent out a memo commanding everyone there to act like a total idiot, drive an enormous lifted truck with huge wheels, wear a baseball hat cocked to one side, and never open the door for anyone. especially if that anyone is pushing an roadcase which is piled high with other gear, while holding 2 guitars in his hands.
also, all huge trucks must be parked with only two wheels on the actual pavement.


i have been taking these pictures with my phone for a while now. i figure one day i will just post like 300 of them, to really prove my point. these are from different days by the way.


oh, before i go, i should really put down this great story. during the winter, the alarm system selling, baseball hat to the side wearing, huge truck on the curb parking wankers really go to town. they love to put two wheels of their monster trucks up on the big snow drifts that the plows pile up at the end of the lot. anyway, last year i was just getting to work and i heard this huge noise and looked to see this guy trying to put two wheels of his truck up on this snow bank. this thing was at least 4 feet high, maybe higher. anyway, he made multiple attempts. he kept backing up and then gunning his truck at this snow hill but the truck kept slipping off. lucky for me, he was very determined. he tried and tried again. he was a real example of stick-to-it-tiveness, but that truck was not going. anyway, he finally managed to get this thing up there and at that point we had a truck that was basically at a 45 degree angle to the ground, and he was on the lower side. on snow. near ice.
this total retard opens up his door to get out. the door, being extremely gravity friendly takes off at a 1000mph and promptly hits the ground, putting a very sizable dent/scratch down the entire edge of the door. but it didnt end there. gravity also had its way with Joe Douchebag who followed the door's example and came flying, ever so un-gracefully out of that truck, landing pretty much on his head on the ice. i think he would have suffered some brain damage, but luckily, the bill of his baseball hat was off to the side in just the perfect way so as to cushion his fall sufficiently.
but we arent done.
the best part of the whole thing was when, once on the ground, mr alarm was showered with everything in his truck. and he had a lot of crap in there. cds, a backpack presumably carrying a laptop, pens, paper, A MOTORCYCLE HELMET!!, i think there were some socks, etc etc.
i distinctly remember how seeing that reallly made my day. bring on the snow.
