Your flying high

Your selling teeshirts
You pull out of shows when your voice hurts
You ignore fans
Trash your tour vans
Think you’ve got it made cause your singles getting played…..
“Next big Thing”.M.Madden 04′

Heres a trick…Let other peoples fuck ups fuel your creative output.They suck and you get a song out of it.No names tonite cause I am being Sam Elliot cool but I will be the last man standing.Stay in your small pond.Only takes an inch of water to drown anyway….

Buddy?

Your fans, as missguided as I belive them to be ,made you.They will break you the same way.

Flipping burgers all the way for you.

Note to self: Do not clean out bag in Zen tantrum mode as you will leave all the cool shit that you need on your floor.

Oh! but it is charged on the corner of 13th and 1st gentle reader! Mikey said it the best and keep in mind that I am paraphrasing here.

“I let him know what a bunch of egotistial prima donna fuckwits we all are so thats cool”

Mikey telling us how it goes.

We did one of our huge numbers in the parking lot today.Fuck we are both loud when we get going.Its all good.It clears the air ya know?

I told Ross that I KNOW that he rolls his eyes when ever I leave the room and he went red so now I double know that its true.

Got a cool email today from Capt A of the good ship doom.Pod People are getting monster rave ups in the UK so that makes me smile.I told him how much I am stinging for gossip and it all got rather evil from that point.So Im a cunt.Whadda ya want?

The more I listen to what we are doing the more I know we are on the right track and how much its gonna piss our haters off.Yey! Dipshits who shit a Meita if they cant stick a label on it.

People can be ever so narrow minded dont you think?

There is a mouse loose in the living room so you can imagine how happy that makes the Bassgod sleeping on the floor in there.He is sick to death of me.He will be winging it to Spain sooner rather than later so its all sweet.Oh thank fuck! I dont have to spend the whole winter up here.My sister is back in LA so I will be spreading the Tourettes gospel down there sooner than soon.If any of you LA sikfuks wanna meet up and start plotting a bit of west coast domination drop me a line C/O the site.Me and the B* plan on helming the streeteam equlivlent to the Hells Angels.

Are ya in?

Mucho huge thanks to all who are keeping the flag flying back home.Well,we did not make the BDO this year.I would have died of shock if we had of to tell you the truth.I am stoked that you keep us up in everyones faces though!

At the most base level [which is the only one that I give a shit about right now] That is what matters.I dont know any other band that has what we have on the level that we do.

Lets see what happens next summer.

Ash is running on empty right now and even on the days that we dont like each other and belive me there are many,I still respect the pointy headed fucker more than he will ever know.I think that he wishes that I had batterys that he could take out and just charge Me up when he needs some vocals.

Being in a band is a headfuck on so many levels.I mean,Here we are, 3 albums and almost half a decade together…I mean…I have seen more of these three men than I have seen of my family in the last 20 years [When it comes to 99% of my family belive me when I tell you thats a godsend…] I think it drives Ross nuts cause we seem to have the same conversations alot….that and me farting at him all the time and thinking that it is the funniest thing ever.

It will be good for all of us to be apart for a while.To bring new tales back to the camp.I just cant wait to let loose in LA once again cause it has been far too fucking long.Back to Hollywood.I went through a stage thinking that I would never go back…Bad memories and my stubborn ass…But where the B* is at? Well! Fuck it really,that is always where I am gonna end up….Tales of heavy ink and you KNOW that I have got all my didgets crossed here.

I was kinda thinking about tring to get back for the summer and what not but when I told you that I nalpalmed all my bridges I ment it.I want what we are,all of us,to be world wide.I want to do somthing bigger than the sum of all my personal bullshit….I know that some of you have been talking to Miss Annie.This to me is what its all about.I met her in much the same way that I met most of you guys…hangin at a coffee shop and she got a hold of what we do and what we are about and just ran with it.She got to converting all her likeminded friends.She is selling our cds at school for Christs sake.Now to some big band or record label that would not mean shit but that is what it is all about.To Me that is what matters.

I still write to all the people that I have met through rock and roll.Sickfuks or not.They are the ones that understand me and make killer mix tapes.I know that you guys know what I mean.The lasting friendships that I have made were forged in the pit.Leif? The dude with the killer hawk at The Annadale? We met at Slayer in 98 and through many cool and crappy times have remained mates.That is what I am talking about.Miss Susan writing to me from Melboure and then getting up here with Big Mike Vaughn and the crew for BDO.Princess J and her ink,Tony and Box seeing us last summer and jumping into the life.Meeting Toddski in a New York bar,Miss Shelia and the SF site,Gooch still behind the band and Me after almost 10 Pantera fueled years, Maxwell Demon Flying the flag through punk squats all over Europe,Gene Hoglan beliving and supporting.The list of names is endless…I am fuckin blessed.

There are a million more tales and I have got em all and you close to that black thing in my rib cage.

I was telling a new SF about the “Stand” clip the other day when it struck me that it was all friends made through music giving their all in that.

You guys are beyond staunch.

Everytime you write Me.Everytime you lodge a request….You add another brick to one mighty foundation.

You guys listen.You wear the teeshirts,sticker everything that is not moving fast enough to get away from you,download the songs……And the thing that gets me is what you have become,The cells that you have formed and the friendships that have been made away and outside of the music.It is a fucking family.

Nothing can touch Me when I think about it all like that.

On that note I am off to bed.
Up all nite….sigh.

Here for ya.
