I would KILL to be able to play with Dillinger Escape Plan this December like we had planned. But facing the facts about making music is a journey long overdue.
Still, you can live in Espana and escape from the demented idiocy that is taking place in our birth country ATM. I figure that's kinda winning, even if the numbers don't total up to it? Imma stuck here in in SE MI on the hamster-wheel of never-ending work to eat stuff... but I get it. I know a LOT of musical-types that are still scratching out a meager existence and funding life-stuff with other gigs. It ain't easy being creative, for real. <3
Why would anyone *not* want to read your thoughts about music? It's one of the things I consider to be a big part of the essence of Eugene.
As for the subject matter, I've long thought the best name for a band would be Negative Cash Cow, as it's generally the most accurate descriptor of the band situation.
Cool! Let me know when that happens, I'd love to read it.
My partner and I spent a fair amount of time around the Bay Area burlesque scene, and the producers we know were often complaining about performers not getting their music submitted in time. So we suggested that that means the producer gets to choose a song for them. One of my suggestions was Killdozer's "Knuckles the Dog".
A work buddy and I were gonna go. And even though money is tight and I'm on a fixed income, I would never think to ask for free tickets. Just like being a proper subscriber to the stack. You gotta give back a little to those who give so much. Next time. G

The pain of being human vs. being a corporation is that you are more likely to subsidize your benefactors.

Well Jerry hated the music so he said he hated the writing about music. I think his comment at the time was "you call THAT music?" hahaha...
"You call THIS a hamburger???"
