So today was not the best day. I get bad news so what do I do? I make a stupid phone call and ask all the questions I know the answers to, just to make myself feel worse. Oh and earlier today my ear infection decided to finally move. It decided to drain right down my throat. The result was me gagging and BARFING ON MYSELF in my fucking car. Totally nasty. But at least I can hear out of my left ear now. Luckily the girls from Tittyfuck are with me now to make me feel better.
For those of you who didn’t get to come to the Minus Sound Research 5 show a couple of months back, here is the video piece i did for it. It was a great show with many great artists, including founders John Harrison and Maria Albani, but also local musician/artist types such as Linc Hancock, Jerstin Crosby, Laird Dixon, Casey Burns, Ron Liberti, Mac McCaughn, Casey Cook, Laura Ballance, and a lot of other great people.
Here are some installation shots:
It was ’94 or ’95 and my friend Will Maffitt and I were hanging out at his parents’ house after school. I remember he did the whole “dude, have you heard this?” thing and popped this album into the living room CD player. I was floored!! FLOORED!! The guitar sound on this album sounded like a million people playing the same thing at once. This album was very important to me and even more important in the larger musical scheme of things that it is criminal that it is out of print. San Diego later emo/hardcore bands owed a lot to the Jehu sound. I mean you can’t guarantee that Heroin, Antioch Arrow, or other bands would not have existed without Drive Like Jehu, but they would have sounded completely different! I loved this band so much that when they broke up I refused to listen to or go see John Reis’ other band Rocket from the Crypt because I blamed them for the break up of Drive Like Jehu. Supporting Rocket from the Crypt would have been like befriending the guy your best bud’s girlfriend cheated on him with and left him for. I have searched iTunes, eMusic, and other legal digital means to try to find this album, but to no avail. This album is also out of print in physical means meaning you can’t find it. At all. This is a crime!!!!!
So this year I found myself busy with several musical endeavors. My main project, Phon, with my bff Dustin was not insanely active since we now live hundreds of miles apart. Just to let you know though Phon still does and always will exist!! This year I started playing with a couple different groups and a couple other projects. Ms. Seafood, Black Lollipops, Black Guise, and Atorvastatin being the main ones. In this time many band names were born but only a few were used, even though i still will keep them in the back of my mind. Without further ado here is my List of Rejected Band Names 2010 edition.

This is the first post i’m going to be doing on things you should not buy used. It really should be “things i can’t believe people donated to the thrift store,” but oh well. This is a Sitz bath that you are supposed to use to treat hemorrhoids. The idea being that you fill it with really hot water and some epsom salts and then place you butt or genitals into the pot. The box actually says “disorders of the anal and genital areas,” barf!!!! This box was opened, and scotch taped shut. In my humble opinion that verifies that it had been used.
I made this video using Photo Booth. The audio is a recording of a cigar box cello that I made. The main image is a photo from the Franklin County Nature Preserve.
i made a snowman when i was at my parents house. the sun was out today though, so he melted to death, but he brought joy to all those around him for his brief life.
i had a dream once that i was at a beautiful lake. in the dream i had a red canoe, it turned in to a dog and ran away.
…and I work for an art museum.
