The Things That Matter...?

Item of Interest Number 9 |
Since justification lists are the next big wave in indie music, I too guess I'll do one to justify why I haven't updated in ages:
Two Words decided to do a small-venue 'tour' with Respite. We spent a lot of time getting a few ditties ready...
...only to break up three days before the tour was scheduled. Respite were none too happy, as that axed the tour for them, but they're pretty much the reason for the break-up anyway, so fuck them...
I got a new job that takes up more time than it's really worth...
I joined a new band. We call ourselves The Mute. I play bazz. We're actually pretty good, if I do say so myself...
My new band got kicked out of it's perennial "home" if you will, and thus we were left with nowhere to practice for over a month. Trying to find another practice hall was pretty time consuming, but worth it. We're now back with a vengeance and planning to record soon...
I have spent obscene amounts of time watching the old classics, like "Manos" the Hands of Fate, Red Zone Cuba, Monster A-Go-Go, and yes, even Beast of the Yuccata Flats.
I bought a cell phone. This isn't as much a justification as it is a useless bit of trivia. Hit me up on the celly, G...
I was (and still am, a bit) a little upset at how quickly Kristin Forbes ceased to be a member of the Travis Morrison family. I had visions of grandeur in my head that will sadly no longer be. It sucks, but at least this cuts the wait for another KF solo album...
That's probably about it. My new band is a rollicking good time. It's quite honestly the first band I've been in where I'm not the creative lead, and quite frankly I find it liberating. After the fiasco that was Two Words, I'm in need of just going with it. I still have a side project planned for the near-to-distant future, but I'll elaborate on that no more, lest I jinx it prematurely. Other than that, nothing. Watch this space for more info on my band's goings on soon-ish... ¶ 12:43 AM 0 comments
