I just want to write my name on everything I see
I think I might be bi-polar. Is that something you can develop? I have alternating days of elation and despondancy. Ah I dunno, I guess this is just life. I'm flat out working too, and sleep is one of those luxuries that I have only a slim time frame for. Right now I'm at my temping job, having come here from my internship. I leave at 2am, then repeat tomorrow.
Things are picking up on the band front too. In a "d'oh!" moment earlier this week, I figured out that if I want to be a manager of bands professionally, managing my own band might be a good start. Basically all this amounts to is getting the password for our myspace, so if you're reading this and you're a member of 100101s, don't get too stressed out.
Besides, like I said, I think it's going pretty well. I dropped into the Old Blue Last last night and introduced myself to Ellie from Fierce Panda. She was super- stoked to see me and hear about the new band, as it seems she was quite the fan of Operation Wolf. We're currently looking at dates to play one of her nights, probably sometime in July.
Then I introduced myself to Matty from White Heat. This must be about the 5th time I've done that in the past 4 years, but since I'm not a hot girl with blunt bangs and heels, I guess my face blends into the fog of his memory. He's putting out a Shimmy Rivers && Canal 7" "soon", and he digs Hands on Heads, so I gave him the 100101s pitch. First thing he said was that it reminded him of being at school 20 years ago. I was like "what?", thinking he knew us and was making a serious dig. Turns out it was just that he totally got the reference in our name, which must be a first. For the record, our name is a throw back to these:
Sorry for the shitty small size. He seemed pretty into the sound of our band too, and said he'd be at the show we're playing with Gay Against You.
It seems like things could go either way, life-wise. Who knows. That photo at the top is Party Sausage + I'll Shank You for 10p from Barden's a while back. Circuit bending, glitchy beats, awful outfits.
