i've got a silver dollar w/ yr name stuck right on it...

i ended up crawling in bed and passing out for a little while last night...getting a nice refreshing nap...ideal for an all-nighter of school-work...the only thing is i didn't do any school work...just wasted several hours until daylight hit and i finally went to sleep again...i did make it to my first class...but i slept in for my second...watched The Simpsons and found that both my ARP Sequencer and my volume pedal had arrived...something sweet to counterbalance my overall feeling of scholastic ineptitude...since i have yet to start my project, i decided to skip class...i went to the practice space, getting some sushi along the way...i learned a valuable lesson about sushi tonight...it's not a very "man, i'm hungry!" food...and even if you get a bunch of sushi and you're really hungry, chances are you won't feel like eating very much...and even w/ that, a very short time afterwards your o-ring will self-destruct, blasting you halfway around the world into Brown Town...as you may have guessed, all of this happened to me so while i was at the space playing w/ my new stuff i called up Jacques, as his place is nearby, and went over there, blowing my o to hell and back...then i sat around w/ Jacques and Amber watching tv about Al Roker and stomach surgery...i'll bet his days of o-blowin' are long past...then i went back to the space when they went to bed and played around some more...the volume pedal's kind've cheap (as in it's made w/ cheap plastic), but it gets the job done...and it WAS really cheap...and it looks cool...so really it's all pluses...i was using it in combination w/ the fuzz pedal to get some nice cello-like rock-action...it took me a while to figure out how to get the sequencer working...i finally figured it out...the cv interface is pretty weird stuff...though i know there's more that i could do...the guy didn't send the manual as he was supposed to...but i emailed him and he responded saying it was an accident and he'd send it right out...so when that arrives i'll have a better grasp on utilizing the machine to its full potential...i may be a pathetically inept loser, but at least i have cool rock gear...

speaking of rock.. apparently josh summit/elizabeth harris's band isn't playing on the 15th anymore, but tomorrow at the maproom.

i know...Josh told me the 13th last week...so i've been expecting it to be happening tomorrow...

...also kind've wacky, 'cuz i ran into Josh at school today again...and i didn't even mention that here...scary psychic forces going on here...or just coincidence surrounding the fact that the show's tomorrow...

i didn't realize they were still making music...

Supposely Elizabeth was playing rockabilly or some such in Boston, so when she came back she was off of the whole spooky gawth thing. From what they told me, this is "synthpop"..

as much as i like both of those crazy kids, i have a suspicion that this'll be some very spooky synthpop...

As long as Chad isn't involved, I can try to be optomistic..

[newness-ends.livejournal.com]

you know, i clearly remember chad trying to get backstage at the king diamond show to give ol' k.d. his demo tape (which i remember being complete crap, naturally). i don't think he ever delivered the tape, though, or there'd be some re-formed version of hexagram 23 (featuring members or marilyn manson or something, no doubt) signed to metal blade right now. umm...yeah. he's a wank...

"synth pop" is what Josh told me...i had no idea Elizabeth was involved 'til you mentioned anything...when i first read her name, i got all worried w/ flashbacks of Columbarium...when Josh told me the band was synth pop i thought that'd be a refreshing outlet for his talents...after they were wasted in that sp00k-fest...although if she's over the whole "spooky gawth" thing as you say.........of course, synth pop can go either way...but i assume Josh can do it right...Elizabeth on the other hand...well, as the show's in only a few hours i guess there's no sense in being over-analytical...i'll find out soon enough...
