#3

I watched a documentary called "The Cool School." It was very good. It's about how a group of artists developed an "art scene" in LA during the 60's from scratch. I wish that could happen in the Panhandle but I don't really think its possible. Who knows though, right? All you need is some crazy guys who aren't afraid to be poor, be laughed at, and get arrested for doing things different than everyone else. 
I would recommend you check it out. You can find it on iTunes, and such. 
Next on my list:
"Rivers and Tides"
"Man on Wire"

Here is a clip from Rivers and Tides:



So the show last Saturday with PLOY was great. We were all to nervous to function, and had some screwy guitar chords in the first song, but it went way better then any of us thought it would go. We had a good crowd, very nice to see all my friends there. Looking forward to the next one. But for now it will just be me and my drumset set up in my room playing with the headphones on. I haven't really officially "practiced" drums in about 3 years, I've just been playing enough with other people that I didn't have time. So now its back to the basics, hopefully I can get some latin grooves going.
I want to learn some more hardcore stuff too, like The Chariot, mewithoutYou, Emery, The Blood Brothers. Lets see how many albums I can get down before school starts!
I play a lot of mello stuff with the bands I've been in, but its good to be versatile, and its fun to just hit the drums real hard, and crazy hard to try to dissect a song from the Blood Brothers.... Their crazy!
The Blood Brothers:



O and my neighbor has Chow-chow, and it got all its fur shaved, except its head. and he is LEGIT now! I need to get a photo of him, but he is almost too embarrassed to come out of his dog house.

I'm about to go see the new Transformers with some friends.
Later
