holiday to do list

1. Learn, to the note, "Rolling Stone" by Muddy Waters and never play it with other folks around.
2. Fix that fucking guitar amp finally. stop talking about it. just do it.
3. Get all abroad parcels out before dec. 18 this time! (so they arrive by 12/24)
4. Figure out what April wants that you can actually obtain.
5. Try to be a little more like Frank DiRienzo.
6. Spin that Johnny Farmer Lp one more time.
7. Figure out EXACTLY what "Mojo" is, get some, and bring it with you. When you get there, use it. Use it all night long.
8. Stop hating on breast feeding mothers for a weekend or so. Maybe wait another month until the recession really hits everyone hard for that one.
9. When Dec 24 hits, dont skimp on the scotch this year. $60 is ghetto prices for this day. Write in and thank us on the 26th. The Highland variety is best for longevity..
10. Try to watch "A Christmas Story" at least 5 times before you open your ruck. TBS plays it 24 hrs on the 24th to the 25th religiously. Give Mr. Bob Clark your nod. You probably know that the other film he did was "Porky`s". Fuck, maybe watch "Porky`s" at least 5 times. With that scotch mentioned in 9. Do the latter. It always feels good.

Eulogy/final wishes

When I die,
Bury me upside down
so everyone can
KISS MY ASS

Death Do Us Part

Our next record will be titled "Death Do Us Part".

April sounded real good tonight. Smooth, dark and sultry. We turned the lights down in the room and raced through the new set. We will record soon. Im thinking about stereo situations with the drums and guitar. Tape delay and also the odd shitty mic with the vocal layer.

Everyone is fired up in NYC...Well, our circle of friends are and I was thinking about how much more calm we all were back in Seattle. I fired these really great vintage WW2 rifles over Thanksgiving. The German Mauser seemed to be the most fitting and comfortable shot. Tho, this rifle lost the war for those fuck heads.

Anyway, APril named a few songs that will be on "Death Do Us Part", and I thought I would post them here:

-Blood On Our Hands
-No Exception To The Rule
-This City`s Got Me
-The Virgin Mary`s Hand

The rest of the stuff has been noted around the practice space as "song number4", or "the one that gives me stress" and suchlike.

Im thinking ahead tonight. Beyond the space on old south 4th here in BKLYN.
Ideas for a record cover. PR photos of Frank, APril and me. Beyond the hands of the studio we will certainly be in and out of in the next few weeks.

I remember a really hot early morning in OKC where we (TBP) were getting an oil change. I was the only one that had a cell phone. That tour was at least a month long. I went into Kinkos to correspond with our agent. I still have that card in my wallet...tho there are no credits on it. Lots of stuff has changed since then.

There is more coming friends.
