WHY

Is this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJ0nE1u7cv4&feature=player_embedded so damned hello-larious?

It's been giving me much joy these past couple of days.

The odd intercuts during the anti-drug insanity, the fantastic integration with the H & O vid, especially the brief freeze frame that just seems so perfect.

Or is it just me?

Anyway, Senior Supermonster has a gig at Bombs Away July 25th.

Next month: Flaming Lips!!! Whooooooooooooo!

UPDATE 7/15/2009: Idiots killed the audio on that clip. Idiots.

Weird Dreams

Having some really strange ones lately.

One ended thusly:

I posit to whomever I was talking to that reality/the present is composed of 32 minutes/seconds of memory.

My cat then asked how much the past weighs.

June Like A Freight Train

Third show in three weeks for the Dead!

This is how we take a break.

Next up, July 25th for Senior Supermonster!

May

(thanks to Katie Mae for the pic!)

Well, the chaos has come and gone....for now. Many gigs were played, many good times were had.

Senior Supermonster and They Won't Stay Dead!! tag teamed a show at Bombs Away and that was fun.

Sr. Supermonster's gig at Luckey's in Eugene went well thanks to all the folks who turned out, travellers as well as old friends coming out of the woodwork.

And there was much joy at MayDay, despite the muddy wetness that permeated...

Now there are question marks in the future, gigs that May or May not happen. Block party next week? Multi-band fest next month? Definitely a trip to Portland for TWSD!!

But the sun is finally out, and it's time to abandon the digital ball and chain.

Smell ya later!

NO JOKE!!

Boy, the pace has suddenly picked up around here....

First, my trip to Seattle was an awesome escape. I got to see The Bad Plus many times. One of Branford M.'s albums was titled Crazy People Music. I dig the terminology, and I place this band in that category in my mind. Not that only crazy people would listen to it, but that you have to be nuts to be able to create/play it. These folks are beyond my limited skills of comprehension. If you get the chance, go. Unless you dislike fantastic music.

Cinematic Titanic was a total hoot. Didn't get my DVD signed, but did get a smile of acknowledgement from Trace. Good enough. If you get the chance, go. Unless it's too expensive....a billion dollars would be a little much.

They Won't Stay Dead!! put on another great show at Cloud 9, from whence the above photo comes (thanks, Dan). We'll be doing that again sometime in May, this time on a weekend.

Shows, shows, shows. Both Senior Supermonster and They Won't Stay Dead are playing Bombs Away Cafe on April 18th. Sr. SM is hitting Eugene at Luckey's on the 23rd. Both bands again are playing May Day, Sr.SM's 3rd year doing so. I'll have a formal announcement soon on the website.

April is suddenly a big, crazy month!

Early Smarch Post

Zombies at Cloud 9 on the 17th!

That's Entertainment?

The Zombie Valentines Night at Squirrel's was a screaming success!

Tons of folks having a good time, the band on their game, and even non-band zombies joining the mix! You can't beat that with a stick!

Unless that works for you....

Next up is St. Pat's at Cloud9.

I'll be fresh off my trip to Seattle seeing The Bad Plus tear it up. Hope I don't catch a jazz bug. That'd get in the way of the pure surf experience!
