Sunday

The show in bklyn for thursday got cancelled because of the trouble the venue had with the cops. Drag. It got moved to MATCHLESS MOTHERFUCKER!!! Yeah. Its in may tho. Sick. You know how we love matchless. Gay For Johnny Depp agreed to play too. You lucky bitch! You know we are gonna tear this bitch up...and it will be our first show in NYC since we went all badass heavy metal slide blues and shit, and started playing all over this USA. The shits gonna be awesome. Look around W`burg and G`point to see some wack flyer shit we are putting up. XXXX Rated!

We picked up a show in Asbury NJ w The Pack A.D. we are fans. You dont even know yet.

THEN we play w the Vandelles in Manhattan! Dark surf punk garage rock. I own their records. Stoked.

April and I went to Salt Mastering the other day and watched the, now titled, "Fuck Yeah We`re Going To Changri-La", split 7" w Thad get cut. We were able to get the whole thing at 33rpm too. The art work is sick. Im super happy. Well, im not ever really happy,but ill take it on the productive end. The shit should be avail at our shows from here on out. This label named "No Wheres End" has a good hand in it.

Yeah, so ill put up another track on our www.myspace.com/blackhorse page when the bklyn show gets close. It shreds and april and i are all gang vocal about fucking over "the man". you know how we do.

I want to send out some good VANLIFE vibe to our Bros in TOMBS now whom are fighting out the storm around I-80 midwest. "tough guys fight it out on slippery roads in the spring"-Steve Brydges.

I WANT YOU TO HEAR THIS SICK SHIT!!!

In Dreams

My grandmother LOVED this song. I remember her laying in bed with the record player spinning (she had a back injury) and this song playing.

A candy-colored clown they call the sandman
Tiptoes to my room every night
Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper
Go to sleep. everything is all right.

(cue the fucking drums and rhythmn section)

I close my eyes, then I drift away
Into the magic night. I softly say
A silent prayerlike dreamers do.
Then I fall asleep to dream my dreams of you.

In dreams I walk with you. in dreams I talk to you.
In dreams youre mine. all of the time were together
In dreams, in dreams.

But just before the dawn, I awake and find you gone.
I cant help it, I cant help it, if I cry.
I remember that you said goodbye.

Its too bad that all these things, can only happen in my dreams
Only in dreams in beautiful dreams.

this one is for Shirley Zeski. Beloved mother, grandmother, teacher, school bus driver, and all around proper lady. I miss you every day.

Check the wild donkey photo. cool shit. I was looking into Antigua, where there are apparently tons of these creatures just roaming around doing donkey stuff. rad.

the new stuff is working. come check it out. im putting shows together all over the country now. we played in richmond va last sat. really really nice. jefferson plane crash rules. so does carson james from tombs. i love you brother.

i just want to write songs for my bros to jam to. that means you girl.

it seems that it is working.

im going to the mastering session of the long awaited 7" split with Thad Sand`s One Man Band on wednesday. The art work is set and it fucking rules. Rock to it. "Changra La" is the track on the record where we colaborate w thad. Fuck yeah. 300 copies folks. get some. we dont have the capabilities to make more. This will be avail on the may tour im setting up. it will be something like: chi, minn, indy, cleveland, philly.

its a booking frenzy around here lately. feels good.

we are really into the cheeseburger stuff around the apartment here lately. if you have seen the show "super jail",(adult swim) they did the theme song. this pretty much sums up the vibe.

we take brooklyn on april 9.

im feeling a little nervous about this blog lately. you have no idea how many things i have erased on this post alone. hope this will pass.

spring

hey man. we are getting shows sorted out. all over. im stoked to show you the new blx songs and line up.

the first will be in richmond, va.. next week. this will be in the best of company. come early if you are in the area. the talent will be thick, as will be the audience. Sat. March 21 AT NARA SUSHI.

We have been working on the live stuff so much lately. Frank is a monster. Lots of tape, sweat, resonation... at this point im so close to it that im ambivolent.

I only want you to be happy.

Whitewater

The song Whitewater by Tortoise is playin here now.

It reminds me of the last time I was in Chicago. It was late and we were walking through that park by the lake. There was nobody there, just us and the chilly night weather and wind. Thats chi town for you. We were miles away from where we were staying. Suchlike. It really wasnt that long ago. Tho, it seems that way mostly.

It`s funny about all of this because my soul brother, Chaz, has been getting up and down my lap since I started this blog post. Maybe Tortoise makes him uneasy, as he keeps biting my hands etc. I doubt this track will make anyone, man or animal, uneasy.

Chicago, I`ll be back soon. Matter of fact i just dropped an email to the bottle.

final recording day

Ok, so we are about an hour away from being done with the nex BLX recordings. I wanted to take a minute to give some praise to Alex Newport.

Alex has first off been a damn good friend and neighbor to me over the last 2 years since he has moved here to NYC. The fact that my band, BLX, has been able to develop a relationship with him into recording/capturing our sounds has made this xtra special. We have done, i think, 3 sessions now w him.

Its to the point where, esp during this session, after we are done doing the live "takes" i pretty much just leave the mixing almost entirely up to him. I mean, we probably didnt even need to come here for the mixing days. TOTAL TRUST.

Alex is a true master of his trade. I HIGHLY reccomend him to anyone whom wants to record their music in any context.

Studio name: Future Shock
Engineer/Producer name: Alex Newport "badass nice guy"

Im going to be the first to review our new music. Stay close to us friends.
