Leftovers
Before I say anything else – Charlie Rangle can you please take your planned conscription debate and shove it so far up your asshole that we never hear of it again?
Thank you.
You and your friends were not elected to do that.
Having gotten that bit o bile out of my craw…
Not craw, CRAW!
Let me say that I had a swell holiday. There is no doubt I am an over-privileged fuck and have no right to live the life I do. My biggest problem Thursday nite to Friday morning?
I ate so much that I vomited twice.
Yeah modern life is so fucking hard.
If it is hard, if we complain, it is only because we are so soft.
Played a good bigDrag show on Friday. My stomach hurt a bit from barfing the night before but it didn’t seem to affect my mood once we started playing.
Even before that – seeing all sorts of pallies and Steener and OD’s family members coming out for the rock. Mark and Jeanz! All the hhe folks…It was very sweet. There was no way I was going to play a half assed rock show with all these nice people in attendance.
Not that I ever play half-assed rock shows…if there is one thing that I have consistently used my whole ass for…it is the rock.
Ok, two things…
I won’t post the set list here. Ladi Di posted it on the bigDrag mySpace page. The link will be coming soon on the side of this blog. I know I’ve been saying that for several months, but I can keep saying it can’t I?
I’ve got to say that looking over the past year of rock…I know I have a rather small n, but these have been some of the best shows I’ve ever been involved with, played whatever…
That includes the floating Basement shows even though those were transcendent gigs (or most people thought they had ended up on a different planet at some point during the evening.
Really from the Phyllis’ gig (which I know was a looong time ago) to the Plainfield party, to last night – these have been three pretty triumphant shows. At least no one can say we don’t know what the fuck we are doing. We clearly do, or it feels like we do.
Were there a few troubling moments? Sure.
My vocals on Understandable were scary. It is clear that I did not hear how shaky they were at practice, and when you have a better sound system in front of you…look out.
But even that little roadblock – the band more than made up for it with the huge ending. My sense was that the audience really liked the new material and that makes me happy. I actually think as we do this more, get older whatever, we are more confident as rock and rollers. I didn’t feel very old last night, and despite being a little sore from moving the gear – I don’t feel old today.
I think this whole ‘I feel old’ is a bullshit excuse…a least when you’re still in your 30’s. Who knows how it’ll be when I’m in my 40’s?
But I’m looking forward to finding out.
Thank you.

When something gets you excited, it doesn't matter how old you are. That doesn't sound right. I think you know what I mean.
Oh it sounds right all right.
Wha?
Don't dis the PA!
"At least no one can say we don’t know what the fuck we are doing. We clearly do, or it feels like we do."
It's obvious you do.
Stellar.

I'm not putting our PA down...just what I miss vocal wise...when we set up the PA at a venue w/out one...we rule! PA is good!
Thanks DI
I was rocked. My socks were rocked. And I have a swell new Tshirt to prove it.
And even a non-musician such as myself can tell the difference between "talented" and "just loud." Each one of you is up to your gills in talent.
Is KJ feeling better?
What a sweet thing to say. We have gills, just like that dick in Waterworld!
Kim is feeling better - our whole family has had something, we've been sick more days that we've been healthy since fall began. Thanks for asking Jeanz.
