This town is so full of ghosts its freaky..i swear all i'd have to do is find a class on how to listen to spirits and i'd never want to be awake or alone again. Though, it'd probably make for some intresting song fodder
( Read more... )
i think we preform rather well though, for us, especially at the metronome. in parts its gawdaful, in parts...a really good amount of listening...fair amount of new territory, i really like what Liam did messing with all of it live, i wanted to pick his brain about it last night but he did not come in.
tanners right, we super need to focus and develop live shows in advance to the point where they are infalable (ie ramble), however, i'm still thinking, especially in lieu of proper recording equpiment (a fact i weigh entirely upon myself), that we talked a couple months ago about really trying to develop and play out as much as possible at a wide variety of places. Lessons learned (mainly, keep a low profile), we need to focus. eventually go back and record a bit.
- create a list of things we can 'do' so that we can continue to practice work and develop stuff otherwise good and in need of work, to the wayside
-personal goal workshops beginning Jan 2006
- hopefully get some equipment for ourselves and
-begin planning for possiblespring break rec session at the V'pidge studio
-begin planning for possible short east coast summer tour

it seems to me like you guys played it too safe that night. tried to play 'tunes' and whatnot.
maybe cuz it was 'big' show or the venue or the presence of parents and friends. i dunno.
i think you guys had a chance to make the Cush looks totally totally square. and that didnt really happen. i think its best for those bigger shows (whatever that means) to bring your weirdest and most outrageous shit and really go for it hard.
the best NM sets in my opinion are the ones that get wild and woolly and weird.
when you guys are really loose, improvising around ideas but focused.
and when all the folks are on the same vibe. and everyone is really going for it and is IN it.
anyways, thats just my opinion on it.
you can tell me to fuck off at the potluck tonight if you want. haha
peace,

things really need to have a degree of spontinaity but then nobody in he band really feels comfortable with 100 percent that...who knows.
the only way i'd tell you to fuck off, Greg is if you said that Dylan sucked.

im listening to the bootleg series this morning.
after watching that movie, i realized some new things about dylan and gained more respect for him. he didnt seem so cocky and prickish and unapproachable which were things i thought previously of dylan. i like the zen side of dylan. keep doing different things. keep changing and being in the moment regardless of people's expectations of what you should do (at least back in the day). even his lyrics and vocals have this channeling chant style stream of consciousness thing. and also that he did what he did well and was there IN it. but its not the most important thing in the world, its not holy scripture. its just dylan. that part where ginsberg says that dylan was like a column of breath i thought was really something.
so im really feeling dylan right now. i still pretty much dig the earlier acoustic stuff mostly. although some of the early electric and country-ish stuff is really good too.
peace,
gd
